Learning at the Bio-Farm
In August of 2013, Institut equalita launched the "Learning Place Bio-Farm" Grundtvig Project.
During the last fifteen years, a number of Bio-Farms within several EU countries have established and developed their own educational learning projects. Those farms that deliver such projects are commonly referred to as school farms.
Aside from these school farms, an increasing number of professionally operated farm enterprises are also opening their doors to the general public. The main objectives of this partnership project will be to identify shared and differing approaches to learning on the Bio-Farm and to share best practice between partner countries.
