This call aims to equip farmers, their workforce, and advisors with the necessary knowledge and skills to address the challenges and seize the opportunities in sustainable agriculture. Proposals should focus on enhancing lifelong learning (LLL) activities to prepare the agricultural community for future sustainability transitions. The scope includes the development of methods to assess current and future knowledge and skill needs, evaluating existing agricultural education and training systems, and exploring best practices for linking knowledge collected within Agricultural Knowledge and Innovation Systems (AKIS). The call also emphasizes the creation of generative AI tools to facilitate easy access to relevant knowledge and decision-making support for farmers. Furthermore, the establishment of a certification system for LLL engagement in sustainability issues is a key deliverable. A multi-actor approach is required, with a consortium that includes diverse actors such as farmers, advisors, agricultural educators, and researchers.
