RELOOP is a European collaborative project focusing on sustainable farming, with the goal of equipping both trainers and students with the tools to shape a greener, more circular future.

The RELOOP project is funded by Erasmus+ and involves partners from several European countries working together to strengthen education in regenerative agriculture, develop a digital learning resource in said field, and develop practical training modules for educators (VET-trainers), including workshop formats and field visits to farms. Through this work, the project aims to spread sustainable farming practices across Europe.

Agriculture faces major challenges related to climate change, soil degradation, and declining biodiversity. At the same time, young people and adults with fewer opportunities need better access to relevant and modern education in the field. Through work with regenerative agriculture, the collaborative project strives to contribute to a more sustainable food system that both supports ecosystems and restores soil.
