In 2023, the CAMRAS Project (Increase the Capacity of Migrants and Refugees in Agriculture Sector), a project co-funded by the Erasmus+ Programme of the European Union (Project Number: 2022-1-TR01-KA220-VET-000089931) was launched to provide a contribution to one of the major challenges of our times, that is the refugee migration, which is linked to political tensions and armed conflicts, economic crises and poverty, unsustainability and climate change. As a challenge at the global, regional and national level (United Nations, 2023), projects seeking practical solutions to this complex field need to consider its global dimension and operate at the local level.Against this backdrop, the project partners● Kahramanmaraş Sütçü İmam University (KSU), Türkiye● Association Migration Solidarité et Echanges pour le Développement (AMSED), France● Institute of Entrepreneurship Development (IED), Greece● Inercia Digital S.L. (IDSL), Spain● Internationale Arbeidsvereniging/International Labour Association (ILA), The Netherlands● Kahramanmaraş Directorate of Provincial Agriculture and Forestry (KDPAF), Tükiye● Trend Education NGO (TENGO), Türkiyehave developed an educational programme that attempts to prepare migrants and refugees (M/Rs) for their integration in the agricultural sector. Thus, the project contributes to M/Rs’ capacity building so that they can work as a qualified workforce in agriculture and meet the demands of farmers in the host countries.So far, the project has gone through various stages to prepare the CAMRAS Handbook on Agriculture for Local Farmers, Migrants and Refugees. Starting from a comprehensive needs analysis in the five European partner countries (İkikat Tümer et al., 2024a), a detailed picture of the situation of both M/Rs and the agricultural sector was revealed resulting in a guidebook entitled The agricultural sector in five European countries: A guidebook for local farmers, migrants and refugees (İkikat Tümer et al, 2024b). Informed by the views of M/Rs, local farmers and various stakeholders as well as based on the project partners’ expertise, a vocational training programme was developed. An outcome of these efforts is this handbook, encompassing the content of the CAMRAS training programme. It is worth mentioning that the7training programme is strongly guided by the conviction that M/Rs can play an important role due to their, often accessible, previous knowledge of farming acquired in their home countries, that the views of local farmers are crucial to prepare tailored training programmes, and that only reflecting both groups’ views and understanding can lead to a win-win situation. Thus, M/Rs can improve their living conditions by receiving vocational training, thereby supporting local economies in the host countries.This handbook is organised in seven modules that cover important aspects of agriculture in the 21st century. Module 1 (Agriculture and Life) is an introductory module that offers trainees insights into the significance of agriculture in the globalised world. Module 2 and 3 embrace Crop Production and Animal Breeding as the two main fields of agricultural production. These modules inform trainees about distinct aspects that can be transferred to the specific local contexts they work in. Module 4 covers Innovations in Agriculture and Module 5 Sustainable Agriculture. These modules are conducive to arriving at an understanding that agriculture is exposed to constant change to meet the demands of the social and environmental challenges of our times. Module 6 (Worker Skills and Labour Issues) provides trainees with insights into the need to organise employment in the sector. The module also stresses the need for worker well-being as necessary components of 21st century skills to engage in effective farming. Finally, Module 7 (Problems of the Agricultural Sector) defines and specifies crucial aspects of today’s agriculture that do not need to be neglected.By nature, topics surrounding M//Rs and agriculture need to address problems and challenges in their field. However, the aim of this handbook is to provide solutions through vocational training. To serve this purpose, each chapter is enriched through case studies, in which M/Rs can see how to practically approach challenges they are likely to face.As the handbook content is part of an educational training, it is integrated in an e-learning platform that additionally contains videos and assessment components to provide the CAMRAS project’s target groups with a tailored opportunity to engage in the training. Trainees who successfully complete the training are granted with a certificate. Also, as the project is conducted in several European countries with a considerable number of target group members from Arabic speaking countries, all materials are multilingual covering the languages of Arabic, English, French, Dutch, Spanish and Turkish.In sum, CAMRAS has generated a comprehensive needs analysis with an overview of M/Rs’ working opportunities in the agricultural sector and a tailored training programme to serve vocational education purposes. It is our hope that M/Rs, local farmers, policy makers and other project designers benefit from the outcomes of the CAMRAS project.
