ACE-EX bidrar til omstillingen av det europeiske landbruket ved å integrere prinsippene for sirkulær økonomi for å fremme en bærekraftig og miljøvennlig produksjonsmodell i landbruket. Prosjektet harmonerer perfekt med de europeiske Green Deal-direktivene. Målet er å minimere miljøpåvirkningen, utdanne høyt kvalifiserte eksperter, engasjere seg i kampen mot klimaendringer og fremme miljøvennlig økonomisk vekst. ACE-EX understreker viktigheten av å kontinuerlig oppdatere kompetansen i landbruks- og industrisektoren for å holde tritt med den teknologiske utviklingen og utfordringene som klimaendringene medfører.
PROSJEKTBAKGRUNN
ACE-EX opererer i en kontekst der innovasjon i landbruket spiller en avgjørende rolle for å møte utfordringene som følger av klimaendringene og behovet for å beskytte det biologiske mangfoldet. Dagens landbruksproduksjon må utnytte biproduktene fullt ut og krever en overgang til et mer bærekraftig system. Prognosene understreker at det haster med å handle: innen 2050 kan konsekvensene av ikke å endre dagens produksjonsmetoder også føre til at mange liv går tapt hvert år.
Med tanke på de raske teknologiske og klimatiske endringene er det viktig å kontinuerlig oppdatere kompetansen til de som jobber i sektoren. ACE-EX legger vekt på betydningen av sirkulær økonomi, en praksis som landbruket og industrien har sluttet seg til, og som er en drivkraft for yrkesopplæring. ACE-EX opererer i tråd med handlingsplanen for sirkulær økonomi og målene i det europeiske Green Deal-direktivet, som fremmer bærekraftig og respektfull økonomisk vekst.
ACE-EX anerkjenner og tar opp problemene i småbedriftssektoren og fremhever behovet for spesialiserte læreplaner for å gjøre det lettere å ta i bruk sirkulærøkonomipraksis.
Vårt perspektiv fokuserer på viktigheten av å utforme innovative og målrettede fagplaner som fremmer bruk av sirkulær og bærekraftig praksis i bedriftenes daglige virksomhet.
