The year begins with the preparation of a national work plan, training concepts, and a local communication strategy. Farmers get invited and selected to participate in the training sessions.

30 Farmers participate in a two-day in-person training covering core modules such as soil health, ecosystem diversity, economic benefits, and practical field insights. The training aims to equip them with the skills needed to initiate the transition to regenerative practices.

Selected participants receive farm-level support, including two advisory visits per year, chemical and biological soil analyses, a personalised action plan on how to implement regenerative techniques on their farm, and participation in a peer learning and networking session focused on shared challenges and opportunities.

Each year, a national event promotes regenerative agriculture to a wider audience – including farmers, researchers, companies, and policymakers. The event raises visibility for the programme and fosters dialogue across the agricultural sector.

Programme activities and success stories are shared through local and national media, including online publications, radio, newsletters, and social media – with a focus on agricultural stakeholders.

We’ve just kicked off the second year of our collaboration with EIT Food North-East in Serbia! 

More than 30 agricultural producers joined our first training session of 2025 to explore regenerative farming practices and their benefits. The EIT Food Regenerative Agriculture Programme equips farmers with expert knowledge, in-depth training and expert guidance on adopting regenerative principles to improve soil health and farm resilience. 

This year, 18 selected farmers will receive free, long-term support as part of the project – including soil quality assessments, data analysis, and customised regenerative practice plans to boost farm productivity and sustainability over the next three years. 

 Why does this matter? Healthy soils mean better yields, stronger farms, and a lower environmental footprint. And that’s a win for everyone.

05.11.2024: We’re excited to kick off the first regional conference, “Ready for New EU Regulations: The Perspective of Regenerative Agriculture,” in Novi Sad, in partnership with EIT Food as part of the EIT Food Regenerative Agriculture Program!

With EIT Food’s support and our shared vision, we’re addressing the challenges posed by new EU regulations, discussing how regenerative practices can lead to climate neutrality, and focusing on the restoration of our most valuable resources—soil, water, air, and the environment.

We’re thrilled to have agricultural producers, processors, agri-food companies, media, scientists, NGOs, banks, and donors all in one place. This collaboration underscores the importance of tackling these issues together.
Donau Soja stands as your reliable partner on this journey, supporting you in your continuous development to align with the latest EU ESG standards and promoting regenerative practices.

16.04.2024: Exciting training happening in Serbia!

We have just kicked off our project with EIT Food with our first training session! More than 30 agricultural producers attended this session to learn more about regenerative practices.

Today on the second day of the training session we are in the fields – check out pictures from the training session here.

The ‘EIT Food Regenerative Agriculture Programme’ offers a comprehensive training and advisory programme to help farmers learn about the principles of regenerative agriculture and how to apply them on their farms.

As part of the project, six selected agricultural producers will receive free support over the next three years, including soil quality analysis, results analysis, and a plan for implementing regenerative practices tailored specifically to the selected farm.

In collaboration with Donau Soja, EIT Food enables agricultural producers from the territory of the Republic of Serbia to participate in the ‘EIT Food Regenerative Agriculture Programme’.

We invite farmers to apply via the registration link.

Since the number of places is limited, selected agricultural producers will be informed by 10.04.2024. about their participation in the training. If you need assistance with filling out the registration form or have additional questions about the training, please call: +381 63 111 5136.
