The Mediterranean Agronomic Institute of Bari (IAMB) promotes comparative research in different Mediterranean countries through its Master mobility program and its network MOAN. 17.6.2 Training Training is mainly vocational provided by associations and extension services. Only in Morocco, Tunisia and Turkey academic training is given at graduate and post-graduate level. In Morocco (Kenny, 2004), a training program exists for post-graduate students in Horticulture and Agronomy. The only academic courses are taught at the Complex of Horticulture in Agadir, which is an offshoot of the Hassan II Institute of Agronomy and Veterinary Medicine (IAV). Conferences on specific topics related to organic agriculture were conducted by some IAV faculty members in different regions of Morocco to promote organic agriculture in the mountain areas. Private companies are also seeking advices and technical assistance from national and international experts, particularly in organic horticulture. In Tunisia (Ben Kheder, 2004), some modules on organic agriculture are being offered to students (agricultural technicians and engineers) at different agronomic institutes. A sort of specialization is being planned for engineer students at one of these institutes. Two Masters of Science are being offered in sustainable agriculture and protection in organic agriculture. Many days of training, short sessions and short courses on various topics of organic agriculture were offered to technicians, engineers and farmers. This training led to the set-up of regional networks. Each region has: • three technicians / engineers representing the regional agricultural service, the regional agricultural training center and the regional union of agricultural farmers which are in charge of information extension and training of the professionals. • the professionals involved in organic agriculture: production, processing, marketing etc. In Turkey (Aksoy and Can, 2004), at every faculty of agriculture there is at least one course on organic agriculture taught at graduate level, and a few electives. Also vocational schools (2 to 4 years after high school to train technicians) started programs on organic agriculture. Training activities are being handled by the Ministry of agriculture MARA and by ETO on a yearly basis. The extension agents at a provincial level are handling farmers’ training programs. In order to promote farmers in the protection zones of the selected 6 dams, MARA organized 39 training programs and trained 990 farmers. IAMB grants scholarships to citizens coming from Mediterranean countries to attend the postgraduate and Master course in Mediterranean organic agriculture, which it has run since 1999, and organizes special sessions of short training in some of these countries (Fig. 1 and 2). 183

The conference reported on the progress in soil fertility and diversity in the Mediterranean agroecosystems and the related soil amendments and farming operations. The goal of the conference was to provide a forum for interaction, discussion, and information exchange among scientists, agriculturists and farmers on the role of soil fertility in developing sustainable organic farming systems in the Mediterranean. The topics included the following subjects: 1. Soil management and amendments 2. Green manures and cover crops 3. Soil physical conditions 4. Soil erosion prevention techniques 5. Soil fauna and flora 6. Nutrient cycling 7. Nutrient budgets in Mediterranean organic farming systems. A parallel session entitled ORGANIC WORLD was also organized. This session was an opportunity for participants from different countries to present various aspects of global organic sector, including: Country presentations, regional cooperation, presentations of projects and companies (production, inspection & certification, marketing, research & development, training). On this occasion the IFOAM Mediterranean Group held its General Assembly. Gunnar Rundgren, IFOAM president was present. A new executive board was elected: • Fabio Piccioli, Italy – President • Yousri Hashem, Egypt – Vice president • Guy Rilov, Israel – Vice president The working group coordinators are: • Karen Hoberg, Spain - Market • Aktham Badran, Palestine - Training • Drazen Lusic, Croatia - Standards & Certification • Paola Migliorini, Italy - Research & Development The permanent secretariat is located at: • Region of Crete, Department of Agricultural Development Ikarou & Spanaki 2, 71 307 Heraklion, Greece Contact person: Kaliopi (Popi) Markaki Tel. +30 2810 278689; Fax. +30 2810 278683 Internet http://www.ifoam-abm.com/ • November 9 to 11, 2005, the Institute of Olive Tree and Subtropical Plants of Chania
