BRITAE project participants visit VILNIUS TECH on 10-14 October 2022
The 6th International Workshop on Building Agro-ecosystems Resilience in Asia was conducted as part of the capacity-building activities of the BRITAE project. The project aims to develop joint curricular modules on building resilience in tropical agro-ecosystems in Sri Lankan universities in order to increase their capacity to continually modernise, enhance the quality and relevance to global market needs of the education offered to students, and ensure international cooperation. A 5-day training programme was organised by Vilnius Gediminas Technical University (VILNIUS TECH). The event consisted of seminars, activities and technical visits to agricultural sites in Lithuania. Over the course of events, scientists and educators from Sri Lanka, Estonia, the UK and Lithuania were able to understand the latest agricultural methods, observe good practices, and take advantage of knowledge transfer opportunities.

The participants made two stops on 12 October – at Šakių Rajono Griškabūdžio ŽŪB and Suvalkijos Daržovės ŽŪK, where several technological innovations in agriculture were demonstrated.
