The Thematic Group (TG) on Nurturing Skills for a Thriving and Sustainable Agricultural Sector aims to explore needs and opportunities related to agricultural skills development and their updating, with a focus on the agricultural workforce and on the (new) skills needed to strengthen farmers in the food-supply chain.

Aims of the meeting:

  • Introduce the Thematic Group and its members, outlining the mission and objectives of the group.
  • Provide some background information on priority skill gaps and challenges in agriculture.
  • Engage participants in meaningful discussions to identify demanded skills and changing stages throughout a farmer's career.
  • Explore with selected stakeholders, through concrete examples, how agricultural professionals can access customised training programs to address evolving needs and challenges.
  • Co-design the next steps of the TG (in between meetings and second TG meeting) with participants.
