Slovakia’s Košice Region Launches Model Organic Farm to Train the Next Generation of Sustainable Growers

Slovakia’s Košice Region Launches Model Organic Farm to Train the Next Generation of Sustainable Growers

As global demand for sustainable and local food production grows, regions across Europe are investing in education and innovation to build resilient food systems. One such initiative is unfolding in eastern Slovakia, where the Košice self-governing region has partnered with AgroCircles to develop a Model Farm for Growing Vegetables in Organic Quality.

At the heart of this collaboration is an educational prototype farm, established at the Secondary School of Mechanical Engineering in Košice. This pilot farm utilizes AgroCircles technology to cultivate biologically valuable crops with organic principles, offering both a practical and scalable approach to family farming. The long-term goal: to create a replicable farm model that serves as both an educational platform and a sustainable food source for local communities.

Building Skills, Boosting the Local Economy

The model farm offers students immersive training in sustainable agriculture, agritech systems, and circular economy principles. It also aligns with broader EU priorities—especially under the European Green Deal and the Farm to Fork Strategy, which aim to have 25% of EU farmland under organic farming by 2030. As of 2023, Slovakia had only about 5.1% of its total agricultural land certified as organic, according to Eurostat, highlighting the need for rapid scaling of such initiatives.

By exposing students to real-world organic practices and low-impact technologies, the Košice project is expected to stimulate interest in agricultural careers, particularly among youth seeking future-proof, climate-conscious professions. It also introduces the concept of localized food systems, reducing reliance on food imports and increasing the region’s resilience to global supply chain disruptions.

AgroCircles Technology: A Circular Model

The AgroCircles system integrates closed-loop production techniques—including efficient nutrient cycling, water conservation, and pest control strategies derived from ecological principles. These systems not only reduce environmental impact but also enhance soil health and crop nutrition, both key goals of regenerative agriculture.

Developed as a prototype by local students and engineers, this technology reflects the synergy of education and innovation—turning the classroom into a testing ground for real-world agricultural solutions.

Health, Food Quality, and Community Benefits

One of the primary indirect benefits of the initiative is its potential to improve public health by increasing access to chemical-free, nutrient-dense food. With diet-related diseases on the rise across Europe, this aspect of the project contributes to broader public wellness goals.

Furthermore, the model supports community education, offering the general public opportunities to learn about growing their own food and adopting more sustainable lifestyles. This public engagement is essential for building a culture of food responsibility and environmental awareness.


The partnership between the Košice self-governing region and AgroCircles presents a powerful template for the future of agriculture in Europe—one that merges technology, education, and sustainability. By training the next generation of growers, promoting local food systems, and fostering innovation, this project not only addresses immediate regional needs but also contributes to the EU’s long-term climate and food goals. For policymakers, educators, and farmers alike, the Košice model farm is a beacon of what a green agricultural future can look like.
