The program offers an attractive variety of learning activities. You will start with a one day workshop where you will be exposed to best practices, and you will have the opportunity to reflect and what would work for you, with a team of experts. You will then have the opportunity to work with consultants and mentors that will give you advice on your individual case, and share with others with similar problems across Europe. You will be given the opportunity to participate in live discussion sessions and also given some self-study material. A final event will showcase the solutions you have co-created with your local and European network.

This course is designed for professionals already working in the agri food sector. For instance farmers, food producers, business owners, consultants, supply chain practitioners and all professionals involved in agri-food digital transformation at every level of the value chain.

If you are interested in learning from your peers, and sharing knowledge about data based on farm decision-making tools, traceability tools and how to create a more transparent, short value chain, this is your program.
