Currently, it is more and more important for the farmer to be capable of selecting the ecological production manners to contribute to the European policies about environment and sustainable development, answering thus to new approaches. Besides, in the socio-economic field, ecological agriculture gives real chances for the reform of the rural towns, because it generates new employment in the fields of production, transformation and other different services.

In order to promote the organic agriculture, training is an essential aspect, to give the conventional farmers all the knowledge they need to become their cultivation into ecological, and also, to become aware of its significance both for environment as well as for the rural areas and sustainable development.

In this sense, for training the farmers, it has been considered innovative in this field the work formerly developed in the second phase of the Leonardo da Vinci project called Forecología ?training itineraries in organic agriculture in small enterprises?, since some training material was performed, based on five types of production with a relevant presence in Europe: cattle for meat, cattle for milk, pigs, vine and wine and cereals, and another pioneer in this frame dedicated to the training of consultants in organic agriculture. These handbooks have been translated into five languages: Spanish, English, German, Portuguese and Italian.

These training materials have been developed under a European perspective, which influence in a lower impact over the collective who are addressed to. For this reason it is needed to adapt these innovative contents to the European rules, as well as to the cultural, social and economic reality of each participant country, because the European perspective is useful but it is too general to apply this acquired knowledge to the particular situations of each country.

Besides, these materials were understood as a support tool for an in-classroom training, and with it has also arisen the need of adding pedagogical elements and of adapting these materials to the e-Learning methodology, since the ITC use in training has nowadays huge advantages for the target group: more flexibility, access facilities, larger impact, compatibility with other activities, avoid movements, etc.

Also, there will be a transferability of this training material to the participant partner countries which have been recently added to the European Union, since they must have the needed knowledge to introduce the organic production manners in their cultivation and also must adopt a set of measures for the fulfillment of the European rules about organic agriculture.
