Roadmap for Agroecology Participatory Curricula serves as a practical guide for the co-development of agroecological curricula within VET institutions across SEEDS partner countries. It has been designed to support the integration of agroecological principles, rooted in sustainability, equity, and co-creation of knowledge, into formal and non-formal VET systems in the EU and Western Balkans. The ultimate goal is to build the capacities of VET centres, teachers, and learners to respond to the growing need for green skills in the context of ecological transition, sustainable food systems, and rural revitalization, with a focus on agroecology.
The roadmap is rooted in a strong evidence base established through including national context analyses and the Manual of Agroecology – State of the Art of Agroecology Education in SEEDS Countries. These foundational efforts identified critical skill gaps, institutional limitations, and best practices across France, Italy, Greece, Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Kosovo. The roadmap now translates those insights into a structured yet adaptable tool that can guide curriculum development in diverse contexts, rural and urban, EU and non-EU, formal and non-formal education providers.
