The recognition of organic farming is growing in Latvia and Europe, creating a demand for specialists who can ensure environmentally friendly, economically sound, and sustainable farming. That is precisely why LBTU Malnava College, through this course, is strengthening opportunities for adults to acquire the professional skills necessary for modern farm management.
