How can different actors work to support and increase young people’s interest in agri-food careers?
Food production is vital for both food security and the green transition. Yet, across the Nordic Region, fewer young people are choosing a future in the sector. The Growing Food(ies) project has explored the challenges and mapped out a series of actionable policy recommendations to reverse this trend.
Join us for a webinar and the official launch of the project’s final report. We’ll present the findings and hear from key actors in the Nordic food sector on how to turn insights into action.
