Abstract
The goal of the Kulunda project was to generate innovative research results to ensure a sustainable economic, social and ecological development of agriculture in the Russian part of the Kulunda Steppe and in comparable regions as well. The analysis of the agricultural development through interviews with experts and stakeholders in the Altai Krai revealed a cyclical trend. Knowing its steering factors is essential to influence this trend. Among those, humans and their capacities are crucial, especially the professional education of the workforce. This chapter is firstly focusing on opportunities to improve professional education and on problems to provide further education to the agricultural workforce in the area. Secondly, it outlines respective findings of the Kulunda project and their implementation into the regional training system for the workforce of the agro-industrial complex. Special emphasis lies on the perspective of the Altai Institute for Advanced Training of Manager and Specialists of the agro-industrial complex (AIPK).
