The scope of the intervention is to continue to equip agricultural, food and forestry stakeholders with invaluable knowledge and skills, which would allow them to meet the challenges that result from the evolving standards and demands of this sector in its broad form.

The training call will aim to provide training courses on topics related to agricultural, food and forestry industry to farmers and other stakeholders involved in these sectors.

The eligible applicant (in the sense of recipients of funds) for support under this intervention are entities or bodies that will provide knowledge transfer and/or information actions to persons engaged in the agricultural, food and forestry sectors (this can include but not limited to farmers, processors, and other actors involved in the agricultural, food and forestry sectors).

Prospective private applicants shall be training providers with a current license with the MFHEA (as a training provider) as well as having at least one accredited course related directly/indirectly to the agricultural, food and forestry sector. The accredited course does not need to be included for funding under this call.

Prospective applicants may also be public entities; however, these would need to demonstrate their link to the agriculture, food or forestry sector.

Prospective applicants are encouraged to refer to the Measure Guidelines to confirm whether their proposals are eligible for funding through this call for project proposals. Guidelines and application will be uploaded shortly.

The call will close on Friday 27^th March 2026 at noon.
