Trainings
Organic breeding and organic seed production are highly specialised and skilled activities, for which “off-the-shelf” training programmes are missing. For that reason, training is a cornerstone activity in LIVESEEDING.
The LiveSeeding project offers a set of 5 Training Packages, organized in 25 Modules, including online and on-site sessions (free of charge for participants). As well, LiveSeeding Training activity includes an in-person Summer School in 2026.
You can find all info (topics of each module and units within module, online/on-site, dates), materials and registrations links below.
