LESSON 13

13. STRENGTHENING COOPERATION WITH EDUCATIONAL

INSTITUTIONS

The institutional structure of the agricultural sector is a complex socio-economic system that

includes economic, organisational, legal, moral, and ethical elements. The development of
society in the process of market transformation leads to a change in the role and importance of

individual agricultural institutions. Throughout the world, there is an agricultural structure
dominated by small family enterprises based on private property. Over time, the number of

enterprises has also increased with the expansion of the cultivated lands. Farm activities carried
out with traditional perspectives and teachings are the biggest obstacle to the sustainability of

small agricultural enterprises. Climate change, decrease in irrigable land, decrease in water

resources, inappropriate crop rotation and unconscious use of chemicals threaten sustainable
agricultural activities. The fact that agricultural production is carried out consciously by people

with a certain education, regardless of scale, whether small or large scale, will increase
productivity in agricultural production and product losses caused by the practices of uninformed

people will be prevented. It is important to establish cooperation between organisations carrying
out education and training activities in the field of agricultural production and

people/institutions carrying out farm activities.

High schools, vocational school, agricultural faculties, soil science departments, environmental
engineering departments, associations and foundations that aim to disseminate good practices

in the field of agricultural production can play a role in disseminating the correct technical
information in the field of vermicompost production, which is an important approach in terms

of sustainability in agricultural production. Short-term skills and competence-building courses

at Continuing Education Centers , Adult Education Centers and Lifelong Learning Centers will
promote the dissemination of good practices in agricultural production and vermicompost

production and usage.
