Abstract


Considering the increasing need for a sustainable approach to agriculture, this paper explores how education can contribute to improving practices in agriculture to achieve economic, environmental, and social sustainability. Through the analysis of relevant literature and collected data, various aspects of this complex issue have been examined. Based on the collected data, it is concluded that education plays a crucial role in promoting sustainable development in agriculture. Further research and implementation of effective educational programs are essential to support the transformation of the agricultural sector towards more sustainable practices. This paper provides a basis for the development of policies and support programs for education in agriculture, as well as for identifying areas for further research and interventions to enhance the sustainability of the agricultural system.
