Advanced Training in Precision Farming: The Italian On-Farm Pilot Experimentation of the BOOST Project

This paper presents the first Italian case study of a participatory training course in agribusiness and precision farming, implemented on-farm with the BOOST Project method. The study adopts Yin’s case study methodology to investigate this innovative approach, focusing on peer-to-peer learning and mentorship as systemic solutions to the persistent training gap in farm technological management. Results, which are preliminary and longitudinal in nature, suggest that project-based education may significantly enhance effective technology adoption in agriculture. © 2025 Greek Association of Agricultural Economists.
