The interest in traditional agriculture is a worldwide trend: as people reclaim their heritage, they increasingly turn to lessons learned by their ancestors about how to sustainability interact with their environment. The network "Dryland agriculture and Land use; past, present and future resilience [AGRI-DRY]" aims to develop an interdisciplinary approach to traditional crop cultivation through the recognition of the complementary value of cultural heritage and sustainable living. Human cultural development is inextricably linked with the development of agriculture. This bond resulted in the "domestication" of the biological and physical environments around us, and historically shaped and engendered present-day landscapes. Agricultural landscapes are a testimony to humanity's long interaction with the land, often-unique examples of the whole people-nature system. They demonstrate a rich cultural and landscape diversity, sustainable land-use systems and, in some cases, people's daily struggle for survival under extreme climatic and environmental conditions. It is now recognized the key role of traditional knowledge of indigenous people and local communities for ecosystem management and sustainable use of resources in the light of climate change. AGRI-DRY aims to bring about a significant reorientation of European and African doctoral training in traditional agriculture. The change will involve both substance and approach. The substance is the strong focus on rigorous techniques for interdisciplinary research. The approach is the emphasis on both research and applicative work, through the participation of both academic and advocacy and policy-making institutions. AGRI*DRY represents a unique opportunity for European young researchers to form a "critical mass" and enjoy a wide array of training opportunities that will be competitive with the best programmes offered outside Europe.

人们对传统农业的兴趣是一个世界性的趋势：随着人们恢复他们的遗产，他们越来越多地转向他们的祖先学到的关于如何可持续发展与他们的环境相互作用的经验教训。“旱地农业与土地利用；过去、现在和未来的复原力[农业旱作]”网络旨在通过承认文化遗产和可持续生活的互补价值，对传统作物种植发展一种跨学科的方法。人类文化的发展与农业的发展密不可分。这种联系导致了我们周围的生物和物理环境的“驯化”，并在历史上塑造和产生了今天的风景。农业景观是人类与土地长期互动的见证，往往是整个人-自然系统的独特例子。它们展示了丰富的文化和景观多样性，可持续的土地利用制度，在某些情况下，展示了人们在极端气候和环境条件下为生存而进行的日常斗争。鉴于气候变化，人们现在认识到土著人民和当地社区的传统知识在生态系统管理和资源可持续利用方面的关键作用。农业干校的目标是对欧洲和非洲传统农业方面的博士培训进行重大调整。这一变化既涉及实质内容，也涉及方法。其实质是对跨学科研究的严格技术的强烈关注。这种方法是通过学术、宣传和决策机构的参与，强调研究和应用工作。AGRI*DRY为欧洲青年研究人员提供了一个独特的机会，他们可以组成“临界群体”，享受各种培训机会，这些机会将与欧洲以外提供的最好的课程相抗衡。
