Organic farming education does not immediately suggest itself as appropriate for delivery using e learning methods. The approach adopted however established and used logical procedures to identify industry needs, set learning outcomes, establish course structure and provide content which was used and evaluated in each partner country. The project was assembled and managed by Higher School “Agricultural College“ — Plovdiv, BG with partners from farming organisations, academic institutions and consultancies in DK, GR, IT, The NL, SK and the UK. The project was funded through the Leonardo da Vinci programme of the EU.Two levels of course (equivalent to EQF Levels 3 and 5) were developed and tested. They were specifically tailored to acquaint the farmers (level 3) with the basic knowledge of organic production and Level 5 was intended to assist those in the role of farm advisors to be able to assist producers to farm and market organic produce. Areas for improvement and further work have been identified.
