SEGAE: agricultural challenges turned into a playful experience

A solution for European agricultural training

SEGAE

The question of balancing sustainable development and the economy lies at the heart of all professional activities, including agriculture. Farmers need to be able to make a living from their operations, provide sufficient food and also reduce the sources of pollution and other practices that weaken the soil, air and water. Agroecology is therefore an approach that needs to be taught, particularly in Europe.

A game adapted to the training of tomorrow's farmers

So, 6 universities offering agricultural training in different EU countries got together and, thanks to ERASMUS + funding, created the serious game SEGAE (Serious Game AgroEcology).

The idea was to offer trainers across Europe a fun approach to teaching about agricultural development from an ecological perspective. Teachers who register will be able to create their own experience and submit it to their students. The game is available in 6 languages: French, English, Dutch, Italian, Polish and Spanish.

Otherwise, there are already 4 scenarios plus a sandbox for experimentation. The idea is to take a farm in a given country and, each year, make up to 5 changes in different sectors.

The aim is to improve productivity and environmental performance while remaining profitable. It's a tricky business, and one that requires systematic reflection every year. All the more so as certain choices cannot be changed once they have been made. An experiment with simple mechanics, but complex to tackle, which will therefore be an interesting tool for students aiming to work in the agrarian field.
