AGRITECH in practice: LAND’s VET training in Italy

This video presents vocational education and training (VET) activities organised by LAND in Italy within the AGRITECH project, connecting classroom learning with a study visit to an agrivoltaic installation in Terrasini, in the Palermo area.

At LAND’s site, participants discover how solar panels are integrated with lemon cultivation, bringing agricultural production and renewable energy technologies together on the same land. The visit forms part of the Italian Educational Hub established through AGRITECH and gives learners an opportunity to see these applications in a working agricultural setting.

LAND Project Manager Giulia Carrabino explains the role of the AgriTech Manager, a professional who combines agricultural knowledge with skills in advanced technologies, including sensors. Through classroom sessions and on-site learning, LAND’s training activities aim to prepare young professionals to understand and apply these technologies in agriculture.
