What is the REGINA project?
Cork-based SECAD Partnership CLG has joined partners from Italy, Greece, Hungary and Slovenia in the Erasmus+ REGINA Project. This project stands for:
‘Regenerative agriculture. An innovative approach towards mitigation of climate change through multi-tier learning.’
The REGINA project aims to explore Regenerative Agriculture in our respective countries and compile the learnings to create a university module in Regenerative Agriculture, and an online Regenerative Agriculture learning platform.
