The project utilises the traits of Millennials and Generation Z to create the springboard for a new breed of agripreneurs (entrepreneurs in agriculture) who can embrace farming and transform it into sustainable entrepreneurship. SustainAgri will develop an innovative training package of materials, tools including a serious game, tailored to the educational needs of the younger generations, which will enable the new entrants to implement a sustainability business model using the Triple Bottom Line (TBL) sustainability framework to lead agrobusinesses to sustainable development. The serious game will be used as a training and assessment tool for the VET trainer.
