AgriCulinary Erasmus+

The goal of the AgriCulinary training is to combine the knowledge of gardening and restaurant fields and to strengthen the sustainable cooperation between these industries.

Implementation

Implementation of the AgriCulinary Erasmus+ project began in October 2022 and ended in January 2025. Colleges from Finland, Denmark, and Norway worked together to create examples of AgriCulinary Training Curriculums. The project included pilot training, study trips and the publication of learning and teaching materials from the three colleges.

Multi-skilled professionals

The aim of the training program was to create multi-skilled professionals in the culinary and horticultural sectors and to strengthen sustainable cooperation between them. AgriCulinary training enables an operating environment for sustainable development creating new business ideas, skills and potentially new jobs and careers. The training strengthens existing competence and provides a new basis for it, as well as development ideas towards more sustainable future.
