AGRIFOOD4FUTURE focuses on developing vocational training competencies and educational programs that address the needs of tomorrow’s agriculture.
The first newsletter of the new European project “Agrifood4future” is now available, in which Málaga TechPark is involved alongside various European partners.
AGRIFOOD4FUTURE focuses on developing skills in Vocational Training and educational programs that address the needs of the “agriculture of the future.” By bringing together key European players in European Training, at the academic, research, and business levels from all regions with a tradition in the agri-food sector (yet lagging in the adoption of new practices), the project aims to build vocational excellence centers capable of addressing existing and emerging needs in the sector. Simultaneously, the project focuses on key sector priorities: digitization, decarbonization, and sustainability.
In this case, the consortium is composed of 23 partners. The TechPark participates together with CESUR, FEMAC Cluster (Cluster of Agricultural Machinery and Means of Production), and Trama Tecnoambiental (a consulting and engineering firm).
