3. METHODOLOGY AND DISCUSSION QUESTIONS

PowerWORMS Project aims to study, research and verify the production techniques and
specifications of vermicomposting in order to transfer the knowledge to interested parties;

farmers and consumers so that the utmost importance of using vermicomposting could be

disseminated. The project also aims to establish a network link and a discussion platform among
researchers, academicians, public organization representatives, marketing experts, consumers,

and local producers to share different perspectives, expert opinions and in order to discover new

opportunities and ways to improve the existing production processes and facilitate the product
innovation.

The overarching objective of the project is to promote, facilitate and accelerate the global

transition to regenerative agriculture and food systems, farming, and land management in order
to restore climate stability, increase biodiversity, rebuild soil fertility and produce healthy food.

The methodology is part from the project result IO2- WP02 PowerWORMS Educational
Requirements Analysis (ERA).

The Educational Requirements Analysis (ERA) objective is to determine the level of

vermicomposting contribution to productivity in agriculture and farming in rural areas,

The Educational Requirements Analysis (ERA) is based on the current situation and best

practices on bio-composting and vermicomposting of farm, urban and agro-industrial waste in
today's agriculture, education sector, public awareness and demand in the participating

Countries is the foundation of the project.

The major aim of the status analysis is to gain a comprehensive understanding of the present

situation in the participating countries. The status analysis include the following actions:

⮚ Educational Needs Assessment (Farmer Producers, Educational Organizations, and
Policy Makers)

⮚ Learning Needs Gap Definition

⮚ Educational Toolbox Detailed Design Specifications
