The project is built upon the cooperation between two educational networks, the Baltic University Programme (Lead Partner) and Envirovet Baltic.
Ecosystem Health and Sustainable Agriculture was started in 2005 and approved as a Baltic 21 Lighthouse Project in March 2007. It is funded by SIDA/Urban, SIDA Baltic Sea Unit, the Swedish Institute, and the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency.
EHSA is developing a new educational package for higher education on sustainable agriculture, land use and rural development, and preservation of eco-system health. A long series of seminars and trainings have been held, including those especially designed for teachers. EHSA is producing three Master-level textbooks focusing on:
1. Rural development and land use,
2. Sustainable agriculture,
3. Ecology and animal health.
The books will soon be translated into Russian.
EHSA has been successful in becoming a UN Partnership for Sustainable Development, which means that the project is invited to report on its activities regularly during the UN Commission for Sustainable Development meetings at a Partnership Fair.
