Sustainable Agricultural Production and Circular Economy (BIP)

It aims to organize a Blended Intensive Program (BIP) between the Universities partnership (Isparta University of Applied Sciences, University of Perugia and University of Agriculture in Krakow), which includes both online and in-person activities in the field of Sustainable Agricultural Production and Circular Economy. Another main goal of the project is to explain and raise awareness about the opportunities and challenges of circular economy practices in plant and animal sciences, which are the two basic components of agricultural production. For this purpose, irrigation, water resources, soil, plant and animal production units, as well as Production and Power Engineering units within the partner universities will contribute to the project activities. It is thought that the fact that partner universities are located in different countries is very important in terms of transferring their experiences on the subject. Additionally, the different disciplines contributing to the project are compatible with the content of BIP. This BIP would allow students to implement, in a multinational climate, highly specialized training on particularly strategic topics such as Agriculture Sciences and Circular Economy Sciences. Turkiye, an important agricultural basin in the Mediterranean area, has important research centers that conduct investigations on the effective use of soil and water resources, two important inputs of agricultural production, which will increase the widespread impact of this project.
