Currently, only 0.6% of farmers are under 25 years old, so generational change in the agricultural sector is severely compromised, directly influencing the depopulation of rural areas where agricultural activities predominate. To increase the number of young people in this sector and encourage entrepreneurship among them, it is necessary to improve their curricula by adapting them to the circumstances of the 21st century in terms of digitalization and sustainability.
1. Study to characterize the new actors in the agri-food sector.
2. Definition of a methodology for the creation of new agri-food companies.
3. Identification and analysis of success stories in the agri-food sector.
