Aims:
The aim of the course is the understanding of the participants in general knowledge concerning the agricultural systems of land exploitation, the growth and development of plants, the soil-climatic environment and the cultivation technique. Upon successful completion of the course, participants will acquire all the necessary introductory and basic knowledge related to the modern way of cultivation and the application of good agricultural practices, as well as the sustainable management of the rural environment.

Objectives:
- To empower the role of women in agriculture.
- To understand good agricultural practices and the sustainable management of the rural environment.

Learning Outcomes:
In general, by completing this course the participants will have further developed the following general skills: search, analysis and synthesis of data and information, using the necessary technologies. Adaptation to new situations, decision making, autonomous work, exercise of criticism and self-criticism. Promoting free, creative and inductive thinking.

Content:
1) Interventions in the territorial environment. Fertilisation: inorganic, organic, green fertilisation.
2) Soil treatment, species and objectives. Effect on soil and plant characteristics, cultivation machinery, intervention time. Cultivation methods (intensive cultivation, reduced cultivation, non-cultivation.
3) Crop rotation, goals and basic principles, monoculture, set-aside, crop rotation in arid and irrigated areas.
4) Cultivation systems.

Aims:

The aim of the section is to present the basic principles of precision agriculture,
the main systems that make it up and the applications in different crops.
Participants will have the ability to understand the importance of Precision
Agriculture, the benefits and technology required to implement it.

Objectives:
• To provide participants with general knowledge of precision agriculture.
• Difference between conventional and precision agriculture.
• Necessity of precision agriculture

Learning Outcomes:
After the completion of the course participants will be able to understand the
basic concepts of precision farming and the need to introduce it to crops as
conventional farming becomes unprofitable.

Content:
1) Concepts, definitions and principles of precision agriculture
2) Comparison of conventional and precision agriculture

Aims:
The aim of the section is to present: the tools, technologies and methods for
applying precision farming to standard production systems. Tools include: Global
Positioning System (GPS), remote sensing applications (satellite and UAV) to
record crop properties, crop monitoring sensors, meteorological stations and
variable input machines.

Objectives:
Getting familiar with precision agriculture tools (GPS, GIS, RS).

Learning Outcomes:
At the end of the course the participants will be able to know which tools of
precision agriculture use as well as their advantages and possibilities.

Content:
1) GPS
2) GIS
3) Remote sensing
4) Sensors - meteorological stations
5) Variable input dose machines.

Aims:
The section covers basic concepts related to the economics of agricultural
production and aims to present the methodology required for the analysis,
management and acceptance of Precision Agriculture. In this context, the
decision-making processes, the methods of planning, organization (and
reorganization) and financial planning of agricultural holdings are analyzed.

Objectives:
- Presentation of financial benefit.
- Investment development opportunities

Learning Outcomes:
At the end of the course participants will be able to know the financial benefits
they will have by adopting precision farming. They will be able to organize and
reorganize their agricultural holding.

Content:
1) Analysis and management of exploitation
2) Planning and decision making
3) Financial planning

Aims:
The aim of this section is for participants to be aware of the environmental
benefits of precision farming, by reducing field inputs and consequently reducing
pollutants.

Objectives:
- Reduction of inputs.
- Pollution reduction.

Learning Outcomes:
At the end of the course participants will be able to know the negative impact of
conventional farming on the environment and the comparative advantages of
precision farming.

Content:
1) Negatives of conventional agriculture
2) Advantages of precision farming in the environment
3) Precision agriculture and climate change.

Aims:
The purpose of this section is to show women the simple steps to adopt precision
farming.

Objectives:
- Reduction of inputs.
- Pollution reduction.

Learning Outcomes:
At the end of the course participants will be able to know the initial steps
required to adopt precision farming technology.

Content:
1) Initial steps in the adoption of precision agriculture
