The developed Learning Modules (primarily serving the goals of Higher Education) contain 4 bigger themes (referred to as 'Modules') and several smaller study units (referred to as 'Topics'). For each of the Modules, you will also find a 'teaser video', where you can have a quick glance on the core elements of the module. 

MODULE 1: Regenerative Agriculture Orientation

Module 1 is designed to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of the principles and practices of RA, as well as the benefits and challenges of implementing these practices on a farm or ranch. The course begins by introducing students to the historical and ecological context of regenerative agriculture, including the role of traditional and indigenous agricultural practices in maintaining healthy ecosystems. Students may then learn about the specific techniques used in regenerative agriculture, such as cover cropping, crop rotation, agroforestry, and the use of livestock in rotational grazing systems. By providing a foundation in the principles and techniques of regenerative agriculture, this course may inspire and empower future generations of farmers and ranchers to work towards a more sustainable and equitable food system.

Module 1 is designed around 3 Topics: 

• Topic 1: Historical context 
• Topic 2: Definition of Regenerative Agriculture
• Topic 3: Holistic approach 

MODULE 2: Agronomic Aspects of Regenerative Agriculture

Module 2 is designed to provide a detailed understanding of the agronomic practices and techniques involved in implementing regenerative agriculture on farms. Regenerative agriculture is a holistic approach to farming that focuses on enhancing soil health, biodiversity, and ecosystem services, while also improving productivity and profitability. Overall, the "Agronomic Aspects of Regenerative Agriculture" module aims to provide participants with a comprehensive understanding of the agronomic practices and techniques involved in implementing regenerative agriculture on farms, and how these practices contribute to improving soil health, enhancing biodiversity, and increasing productivity and profitability.

Module 2 is designed around 7 Topics: 

• Topic 1: Soil health 
• Topic 2: Soil managament
• Topic 3: Fertilization and biofertilizers
• Topic 4: Crops selection and cropping systems
• Topic 5: Integrated pest management
• Topic 6: Integrated weed management
• Topic 7: Integrated technology

MODULE 3: Sustainability Concepts of Regenerative Agriculture

Module 3 explores the principles and practices of regenerative agriculture from a sustainability perspective. The course typically covers the principles and practices of regenerative agriculture, which is a holistic approach to farming that seeks to improve soil health, increase biodiversity, and enhance ecosystem resilience. The course may include topics such as biodiversity, carbon sequestration, and water conservation, as well as the social and economic dimensions of sustainable agriculture. Students will learn about the importance of soil health, biodiversity, water conservation, energy efficiency, social sustainability, and policy and economics in supporting healthy and productive agricultural systems. They may also explore practical strategies for implementing regenerative practices on farms, such as cover cropping, crop rotations, intercropping, and agroforestry. The course is designed to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of the principles and practices of regenerative agriculture, and to equip them with the knowledge and skills needed to pursue careers in sustainable agriculture, conservation, and related fields.

Module 3 is designed around 5 Topics: 

• Topic 1: Sustainable water management
• Topic 2: Biodiversity enhancement
• Topic 3: Reduction of GHG emissions
• Topic 4: Rural development aspects
• Topic 5: The role of genetics in RA

MODULE 4: Insights on Specific Crops and Livestock 

Module 4 provides students with an in-depth understanding of specific crops and livestock in regenerative agriculture. By focusing on specific crops and livestock, the course will delve into the unique characteristics and needs of different plants and animals and how they can be integrated into a Regenerative Agriculture system. The course will also provide students with an understanding of the benefits of Regenerative Agriculture and how it can be used to promote sustainable and environmentally friendly agriculture practices. The course will cover different types of crops and livestock, their characteristics, and how they can be integrated into a Regenerative Agriculture system. The example of some farmers could enhance student knowledge as practical tip will be enormously useful for them. Some tips from other farmers will be also considered to clarify the right position of specific crop into the crop rotation or intercropping.

Module 4 is designed around 6 Topics: 

• Topic 1: Cereal cultivation
• Topic 2: Industrial crops
• Topic 3: Horticultural crops
• Topic 4: Grassland managment
• Topic 5: Agroforestry
• Topic 6: Livestock mangement
