Some were also able to get concrete help from the trainers and from each other, taip pat. For everyone, the training has brought something new, they have met people who can help each other in the future, and can co-operate with them.

This training will help to transfer practical knowledge to the advisors, bringing researchers, sportbačiai, governmental participants, advisors and farmers closer together.
