The consultation confirms that agroecological practices are already expanding across European livestock systems. Farmers are improving pasture management, biodiversity, and animal welfare, but further progress will depend on stronger training, advisory support, and practical learning adapted to farm realities. LIVECoVET aims to address these needs through innovative vocational education for a more sustainable livestock future.

LiveCoVET and KU Leuven recently hosted Cristina Petracchi, Head of the FAO eLearning Academy, for a session on innovative digital learning approaches.

The LiveCoVET project recently held a coordination and follow-up meeting to review progress on key ongoing activities. The discussion focused on Work Package 2, dedicated to analysing the needs of the livestock sector, and Work Package 3, which examines current VET skills, policies, and regulations.

As part of Work Package 2 – Needs Analysis, surveys were conducted among farmers, trainers, and sector professionals to identify the main gaps and opportunities in livestock training.

Farmers & livestock producers feed our communities, support economies & drive sustainability. Projects like LIVECoVET help them gain skills for a greener future.

LiveCoVET is about preparing the livestock sector for the future.
