In November 2011 the Lithuanian Institute of Agrarian Economics (LIAE) started implementation of the international project 'Interactive Strategic Management Methodology for Improvement of Agricultural Entrepreneurship in Central and Eastern Europe' funded under the European Union Leonardo da Vinci programme 'Transfer of Innovation'.
The Project is coordinated by the Natural Sciences University of Warsaw and by the LIAE together with the Lithuanian Agricultural Advisory Service in our country. Cooperation partners are from Poland, the Netherlands, and Slovenia.
The Project is beneficial to agricultural consultants, dairy farmers, students of agricultural schools. The training to be initiated already in February will enable them to deepen their knowledge of strategy planning and skills of entrepreneurship. Successful entrepreneurship will be trained following interactive methodology developed and effectively practised in the Netherlands – Agricultural Economics Research Institute, in the Waginengen University Research Centre and in the AgroCentre for Sustainable Entrepreneurship. The effectiveness of the methodology tested as a part of the project implementation and adjusted to Lithuania is expected to also convince farmers from other agricultural production branches.
Project activities have been initiated to continue for 24 months. On November 23–25 last year, international partners gathered in Plonsk, Poland, to discuss working issues. In early February experts from the Netherlands will visit us to take part in the first farmer training.
