Sowing a Green Future: Training in Sustainable Agriculture for Employment
Empleaverde+ program
The project “Sowing a Green Future: Training in Sustainable Agriculture for Employment”, promoted by Expoaccion Organización Solidaria, aims to improve the employability of unemployed people through the acquisition of skills linked to the ecological transition and the development of sustainable farms, with a practical focus on regenerative agriculture.
The project will be developed in the municipality of Langreo (Asturias), using a 1-hectare farm, owned by the entity, as a learning space, which will be conditioned for the realization of sustainable agricultural practices. This real environment will allow participants to acquire technical skills, learn by doing and simulate work experiences typical of the green sector.
With a total duration of 12 months, the project is structured in two phases: an initial phase of 4 months dedicated to dissemination, recruitment, selection of participants and operational planning; and a second phase of 8 months aimed at the execution of training actions, accompaniment, practices and complementary activities.
The training proposal includes technical content in agroecology, composting, organic crop management, natural pest control, crop rotation and association, water efficiency and other key skills for green employment. In addition, it incorporates modules on equal opportunities between women and men (4 hours) and soft skills (5 hours), focused on communication, leadership and teamwork.
The project is aimed at unemployed people registered in the SEPE, prioritizing women, young people from 18 to 29 years old, over 45, people of foreign origin, people with disabilities and residents in rural areas. Participation will be completely free and based on objective selection and inclusion criteria.
“Sowing Green Future” is part of Line 2 of the Empleaverde+ 2025 call, responding to the challenges of the ecological transition and the transformation of the production model. It contributes to the development of green employment, gender equality, the fight against rural depopulation and equitable access to new professional opportunities in the environmental sector, offering comprehensive, practical training aligned with the current needs of the sustainable labour market.

The “Sowing Green Future” project will generate measurable results aligned with the objectives of the ecological transition and the improvement of employability in the green sector. Participants are expected to develop technical, transversal and professional skills that facilitate their employment in activities related to sustainable agriculture and agroecological management.
The main expected results are:
- Acquisition of technical skills in agroecology, organic crop management, composting, biological pest control, water efficiency and regenerative agriculture techniques, applied in a real work environment.
- Development of transversal skills in communication, leadership, teamwork and equal opportunities, essential for employability in the environmental sector.
- Improvement of the employability of participants through individualised employment guidance, professional support and the design of personalised itineraries.
- Increased opportunities for job placement in activities linked to green employment, sustainable farms, circular economy initiatives and ecological transition projects.
- Creation of a community of practice that fosters the exchange of knowledge, experiences and resources among participants, strengthening support networks and possible green entrepreneurship initiatives.
- Contribution to local sustainable development through the use of a 1-hectare farm as a demonstration space, generating a positive impact on Langreo and its rural environment.
- Promotion of gender equality and social inclusion, prioritising the participation of women, young people, people over 45 years of age, migrants, people with disabilities and residents of rural areas.
- Awareness and training in ecological transition, contributing to the transformation of the production model towards more sustainable and resilient practices.
Overall, the project aims to generate a real and lasting impact, strengthening the professional skills of unemployed people and promoting new green employment opportunities in Asturias. Solidarity Organization Exhibition
