ACE-EX offre il proprio contributo alla trasformazione dell’agricoltura europea attraverso l’integrazione dei principi dell’Economia Circolare per promuovere un modello di produzione agricola sostenibile e rispettoso dell’ambiente. Il progetto si posiziona in perfetta sintonia con le direttive del Green Deal europeo, ed ha l’obiettivo di minimizzare l’impatto ambientale, formare esperti altamente qualificati, impegnandosi nella lotta contro il cambiamento climatico e favorendo una crescita economica rispettosa dell’ambiente. ACE-EX pone l’accento sull’importanza di aggiornare costantemente le competenze nel settore agricolo e industriale per tenere il passo con le evoluzioni tecnologiche e le sfide imposte dal cambiamento climatico.
Background del Progetto
ACE-EX si colloca in un contesto in cui l’innovazione agricola assume un ruolo cruciale per rispondere alle sfide imposte dal cambiamento climatico e dalla necessità di proteggere la biodiversità. Attualmente, il modello produttivo agricolo prevalente, che non sfrutta completamente i sottoprodotti, necessita di un cambiamento paradigmatico verso un sistema più sostenibile. Le proiezioni sottolineano l’urgenza di agire: entro il 2050, l’impatto di un mancato cambiamento delle metodologie produttive in uso potrebbe tradursi anche in un considerevole numero di vite umane perse ogni anno.
Di fronte al rapido susseguirsi dei cambiamenti tecnologici e climatici, è fondamentale un aggiornamento costante delle competenze degli operatori del settore. ACE-EX evidenzia il valore dell’Economia Circolare, vista non solo come una pratica da adottare in agricoltura e nell’industria, ma anche come un catalizzatore per la formazione professionale, in linea con gli obiettivi del Piano d’Azione per l’Economia Circolare e con il Green Deal europeo, per promuovere una crescita economica rispettosa e sostenibile.
ACE-EX riconosce e affronta le problematiche di un settore composto prevalentemente da piccole imprese, che evidenziano la necessità di curricula specializzati per facilitare l’adozione di pratiche di Economia Circolare.
La nostra prospettiva si concentra sull’importanza di progettare curricula professionali innovativi e mirati, capaci di promuovere l’adozione di pratiche circolari e sostenibili nelle attività quotidiane delle imprese.

🌿 CIRCULAR ECONOMY PRINCIPLES
Mastering sustainable strategies for agriculture
This course is part of the curriculum developed within the European project ACE-EX – Agriculture Circular Economy Expert, designed to train professionals capable of leading the transition towards a circular economy in agriculture.
The Circular Economy Principles module offers a comprehensive journey to:♻️ Understand the fundamentals of circular economy and its transformative potential for agriculture.🔍 Analyse the 3 core principles of circularity: eliminate waste and pollution, circulate products and materials, and regenerate nature.🌱 Explore strategies across the circularity hierarchy, from reducing resource use to reusing, repairing, remanufacturing, and recycling.🔗 Identify key value chains prioritized by the EU and learn how to develop Circular Systemic Solutions (CSS) involving stakeholders across the agri-food system.
📚 Access key European platforms and resources to support the practical implementation of circular practices in agriculture.
This module equips agricultural professionals with the knowledge and tools to innovate sustainably, optimise resource use, and build resilient, future-proof agri-food systems.
🌍 Course developed by Fundación Patrimonio Natural de Castilla y León and Cámara Valencia, within the ACE-EX project, co-financed by the Erasmus+ programme of the European Union.

In Moravia, ZD Dešov embraces circular farming
What happens when a farm truly decides to bet on sustainable innovation? That’s precisely what we saw with the Czech cooperative ZD Dešov, featured in the latest stage of the European project ACE-EX – Agriculture Circular Economy Expert, co-funded by Erasmus+ and led by the ITS Nuove Tecnologie della Vita in Bergamo 🇮🇹.
During our meeting in Brno 🇨🇿, František Zvěřina explained how installing a biogas plant transformed their business model, cutting waste and emissions while achieving energy self-sufficiency. A concrete example of how the circular economy can sit at the heart of a more competitive and resilient farming sector. 🌾
The ACE-EX project brings together 20 partners from 9 countries, aiming to train a new professional role: the expert in circular economy processes for agriculture. A key figure to guide farms through the green transition set out by the European Green Deal and the goals of the 2030 Agenda. 🌍
