Camelina: Turning a Diversification Crop into a Technical and Economic Opportunity.
Driven by rapidly expanding market opportunities, camelina requires precise management of its cultivation practices to reach its full potential. This training course offers a comprehensive technical and economic approach to successfully integrating camelina into cropping systems.

 

On the agenda:

1. Camelina: Basics and Challenges

  • Origin, growth cycle, and agronomic characteristics
  • Advantages of the crop and its role in cropping systems

2. Market opportunities and value chain

  • Main markets: sustainable fuels, food and feed, cosmetics, industrial uses
  • Regulatory context

3.Technical guidelines for camelina

  • Conditions for success and plot selection
  • Establishment and variety selection
  • Fertilization and weed management
  • Pest management
  • Adapting the cultivation plan according to the cropping system: main crop, summer or winter catch crop, intercropping

4. Harvesting and securing the crop

  • Key principles and settings for harvesting
  • Mowing and swathing

5. Camelina in organic farming

  • Agronomic benefits
  • Technical characteristics and market opportunities

6. Economic performance

  • Comparison of margins based on production systems
  • Economic analysis at the cropping system level

7. Field assessment

  • Observation of plots and/or trials
  • Collective analysis of observed situations

By the end of the training, participants will be able to:

  • Understand the agronomic, economic, and regulatory issues related to camelina cultivation
  • Identify the various markets for camelina and their requirements
  • Recommend key cultivation techniques for successful camelina production, regardless of the farming system (main crop, cover crop, intercropping, organic farming)
  • Adapt the camelina production plan to soil and climate conditions and production goals

In-person format with a field component (depending on conditions and the training period):

  • Classroom theory sessions: Presentation of the crop, its market opportunities, and technical management strategies (main crop, cover crop, intercropping), illustrated by trial results and concrete case studies.

  • Field observation: Analysis of real-world situations in the field and observation of trials to conduct group assessments and illustrate technical approaches.

Active learning methods: Presentations, case studies, sharing of best practices, Q&A sessions, applied diagnostics.

Assessment: Knowledge assessment quiz, Q&A sessions throughout the training, participant self-assessment, individual satisfaction survey.

Theoretical materials: Presentations, lectures, regulatory texts, and summary documents provided to participants.

Case studies: Real-world situations derived from experimental results and field feedback, analyzed collectively.

Exchange of best practices: Sharing of experiences between participants and trainers to enrich technical analysis and diagnostics.

Q&A, Quiz, Individual Satisfaction Survey, Self-Assessment
