Knowledge and Skills for Commercial Urban Agriculture What does the market need and what universities can supply?
Résumé
Unlike traditional agriculture, modern urban and peri-urban farms recruit new figures and require new skills. The sector is growing, and technology is evolving faster than any other field in agriculture. “Farmers” may no longer be the only noun to describe actors involved in commercial urban and peri-urban agriculture. Engineering, IT, food technology, and other skills are now becoming equally important to succeed in this new and highly competitive business.
With more than 400 participants on the first three e-dialogues, we invite you to meet again with the key players in all relevant urban farming fields and to continue the global discussion about the main skills that modern commercial urban farming requires today and what will be needed in the near future.
