Summary
The Next Generation Training on Smart Greenhouses (NEGHTRA) is a specialised training project that addresses knowledge transfer in precision agriculture based on specific needs and challenges, identified from a comprehensive needs analysis. It aims to provide innovative training on smart greenhouse technologies, together with a selection of optimal technology/crop combinations with regions that include conditions for economic and environmental sustainability. NEGHTRA aims to develop an adaptable and flexible lifelong learning system, which ensures high quality and efficient teaching. It aims to make farmers aware of how innovation, entrepreneurship and the use of technology can benefit their businesses, their personal skills and the development of their competences. The target groups are: a) higher education institutions and research institutions that will update the portfolio of training programmes, b) agricultural intermediaries that provide advice and training to farming communities and c) the farming community in the participating countries and beyond.
