Introduction

Educating for sustainability, starting from the soil… or rather, out of the soil. With the project developed in collaboration with CIOFS FP Piemonte, Agricooltur® brings aeroponic technology to schools, training students on the most innovative and sustainable cultivation techniques.

need

The CIOFS FP vocational training center was looking for a concrete educational project to engage young people on current topics such as sustainable agriculture, food technology, and conscious self-production. The objective: to train competent individuals who are sensitive to the environmental challenges of the future.

solution

Agricooltur® installed an indoor Hortus system at the training facility for aeroponic cultivation of microgreens and short-root vegetables.

The educational activities integrated into the training program included:

• Practical workshops on germination, growth, and harvesting;
• Lessons dedicated to controlled climate, nutrients, and water conservation;
• In-depth sessions on short supply chains, agricultural innovation, and green entrepreneurship.

All under the guidance of Agricooltur technicians and CIOFS FP trainers.

results

The project had an immediate and positive impact:

• Students acquired concrete skills in alternative cultivation techniques;
• Strong active engagement and greater environmental awareness were generated;
• The installation of the aeroponic greenhouse transformed a classroom into a real and replicable sustainability laboratory.

The program represents a model of collaboration between innovative enterprise and vocational training, with the shared goal of cultivating not only plants, but visions for a greener future.
