The development objective of the project is to support the development of Chinese agriculture through further training and demonstrations in the field of modern, sustainable plant production.
The aim of the project is to provide managers and employees of the Chinese agricultural sector with practical knowledge on sustainable agricultural methods and modern agricultural technology through further training and demonstrations in DCALDP and to apply this knowledge.
The aim of the project is to test sustainable and economically viable agricultural methods using modern agricultural machinery and equipment on trial fields and to present modified agricultural methods based on local methods on the demonstration areas. Managers and employees of farms of SKIAD Holding and of other farms and organisations/companies in China receive training in DCALDP (from SKIAD and project staff) in adapted sustainable farming methods and the use of modern agricultural technology. DCALDP (on Huanghai Farm) works as a platform from SKIAD to disseminate knowledge and experience on sustainable farming methods and modern agricultural technology and is able to disseminate this knowledge and experience beyond the boundaries of SKIAD Holding.
The target group of the project are managers and employees of farms of the SKIAD Group as well as of other agricultural enterprises, especially personnel from the field of plant cultivation and agricultural engineering.
The national long-term expert focuses on activities in the field of dissemination of knowledge and experience and - depending on the qualification profile - supports the implementation of experiments and demonstrations (including data collection/analysis) or the planning, coordination and implementation of training measures. LZF 3 also acts as a technical link between Huanghai Farm and the project team. LZF 3 also supports the team leadership in the cooperation with the German and European economic partners.
To perform its tasks, LZF has the following qualifications (minimum requirements, exclusion criteria):
- Completed university studies (at least Bachelor);
