The aim of the project is to support the transfer of knowledge to small and medium farmers in Moldova. The basic strategy of the project is to use the experiences in the agricultural sector of the Czech Republic and in building the agricultural knowledge and innovation system, and transfer them to Moldova, taking into consideration the cultural differences between both countries. The core of the project is to create the communication strategy for the Farmer National Federation of Moldova (FNFM), and to prepare the series of Educational television programs on its bases (8+4 series/ 20 minutes). After the broadcasting, the response from farmers will be controlled and evaluated, and the opinions on possible adjustments will be found in order to meet the needs of small and medium farmers in Moldova.
