Project Description

Through locally adapted training and educational methods, with a special focus on water-saving production processes and the reduction of CO2 emissions, secure yields in crop production in different climate zones can be stabilized even in the face of changing climate conditions. DEULA Nienburg has developed customized training concepts for various target groups and utilizes digital teaching and learning materials to effectively implement modern blended learning approaches, even in rural areas.

While women in many countries bear significant responsibilities in agriculture, they often face difficulties in accessing general education and, more specifically, in pursuing professional agricultural education and training. This impedes the adoption and development of modern farming techniques, which, in turn, hinders food security and income growth. The same challenges apply to refugees from various regions seeking asylum in other areas. In many cases, a sustainable livelihood is only attainable through engagement in agricultural activities.

Deula Nienburg offers specialized educational and training programs designed to reach marginalized groups, thus improving their income prospects. This can help alleviate the consequences of migration by stabilizing rural areas.
