The European Action Plan for Organic Food and Farming identifies the need to increase consumer awareness & education about OA, as well as to provide education for all actors of the OA chain (e.g. farmers, processors, agricultural experts, etc.). Organic.Edunet focuses on two particular dimensions:

1. To familiarize children with the concepts and benefits of OA and Agroecology, through formal educational systems, starting from compulsory and secondary education;
2. To educate young agricultural experts (including agricultural engineers, agricultural economists, extension officers, etc.) about the methods and practices of OA and Agroecology, through formal educational systems of higher education (i.e. agricultural universities).

Both groups (future consumers and future agricultural experts) constitute user groups of high importance. Children constitute tomorrow’s consumers, and they have to be properly approached and educated so that their nutritional, as well as their ecological and environmental cultures are developed. Students of agricultural universities constitute tomorrow’s agricultural professionals. They are expected to guide farmers through the adoption of OA and Agroecology principles, or to serve themselves as the next generation of farmers/producers. Therefore, these two user groups have to be carefully approached through relevant educational programs, and appropriately supported by publicly-available, quality, and multilingual educational content
