Description

• Age of pupils: secondary school

In the Intermediate Level of Agro-Ecological Production, the school emphasised the importance of soil management. Throughout the year and its seasons, students were practically involved in activities related to agriculture from an agro-ecological approach. The activities included preparation of the soil through e.g. weeding, watering, fertilization, sowing, but also taking care of the plants, harvesting, preparing fertilization, pruning etc. They were carried out both in the school and in private companies/farms. Every academic year, an organic garden was set up in the greenhouse, using environmentally friendly measures.
