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.

📚🌿 Cutting-edge Training for Circular Economy in Agriculture! 🇪🇺
The ACE-EX project aims to train experts in Circular Economy for the agricultural sector. A key element of this goal is the development of innovative and effective training courses.
At the Valencia Design Meeting, we asked Efstathia Koitsanou from the University of Thessaly 🇬🇷 to explain how these courses were designed to meet the sector's needs.
🎥 When asked "How was the ACE-EX training course designed, and what are its most innovative aspects?", Koitsanou replied:
"The ACE-EX training courses were defined after thorough research and reflect the current state of circular economy in Europe. They focus on four fundamental pillars:
1️⃣ Circular economy principles
2️⃣ Entrepreneurial mindset
3️⃣ Circular economy in agriculture
4️⃣ Application of circular economy practices
The courses will be developed for EQF levels 4, 5, and 6, and then adapted into MOOCs for online learning.
The most innovative aspects include:
🎮 A serious game to practice circular economy skills
🕶️ Virtual reality courses for practical examples
💻 MOOCs based on all educational content created by ACE-EX partners"
These innovative approaches reflect ACE-EX's commitment to providing cutting-edge, accessible, and practical training for future Circular Economy experts in agriculture.

🌱🔄 Defining the Circular Economy Expert in Agriculture: A Crucial Challenge for ACE-EX! 🇪🇺
The ACE-EX project aims to train a new generation of experts capable of implementing a circular economy in the agricultural sector. But what exactly are the necessary skills?
At the Valencia Design Meeting, we posed this fundamental question to Pietro Binelli from Euromasc Norway 🇳🇴, a key partner in developing the project's learning outcomes matrix.
🎥 When asked "Based on the learning outcomes matrix you've developed, what are the key competencies and role of the Circular Economy Expert in Agriculture? And in summary, who is an ACE-EX?", Binelli replied:
"The key competencies of an ACE-EX Expert are varied and depend on the learner's background. Our qualification matrix covers a wide range of skills, from general circular economy principles to technical aspects of agricultural, energy, waste, and water management from an environmental sustainability perspective.
Management is crucial: an ACE-EX Expert must balance environmental and economic sustainability. It's not enough to be 'green'; you also need to be economically sustainable to survive in the long term.
In summary, an ACE-EX is a professional capable of balancing these two fundamental aspects: being primarily 'green', but also thinking in economic terms. This balancing ability defines the essence of an ACE-EX Expert.»
This definition reflects the holistic approach of the ACE-EX project, which aims to train experts capable of leading a truly sustainable transformation in the agricultural sector.

🎮🕶️ Technology and Learning: A Revolution in Circular Economy! 🇪🇺
At the ACE-EX project Design Meeting in Valencia, we interviewed Valentino Megale from Softcare Studios 🇮🇹 about the project's innovative training approach.
🎥 When asked "What role do the Serious Game and Virtual Reality play in the ACE-EX project, and why are they important?", Megale replied:
"We want to use digital technologies to support traditional learning methodologies in Circular Economy in two ways: 1️⃣ Developing a serious game accessible by computer, integrating circular economy strategies into a fun and engaging platform. The goal is to make learning more motivating and help students acquire strategic skills transferable to real life. 2️⃣ Creating two virtual reality modules to simulate realistic interactions with circular economy machinery and processes. This allows for remote practical learning, increasing accessibility and enabling students to repeat exercises as needed.»
The ACE-EX project is revolutionizing Circular Economy training, making learning more engaging and effective! 🌱💻

🌱♻️ Circular Economy: The Future of Agriculture! 🇪🇺
At the ACE-EX project Design Meeting in Valencia 🇪🇸, we interviewed Alberto Rodrigo from the Valencia Chamber of Commerce.
🎥 When asked, "What impact could a Circular Economy Expert in agriculture have on businesses in the sector?" Rodrigo replied: "The role of the Circular Economy Expert in agriculture will be crucial in the coming years, not just for existing businesses, but for new ones too. Circular Economy is like a metabolism: materials, energy, and water work in various processes. We're failing in the linear model, but with new circular processes, new businesses will emerge, managing different materials and harnessing new resources. For these new businesses, the role of Circular Economy Experts will be fundamental.”
The ACE-EX project trains these experts, ready to revolutionize the agricultural sector! 🚜💡
