Generational renewal has become one of the most pressing challenges for the agri-food sector. At Grupo Agroponiente<\/strong>, we are firmly committed to addressing it with vision, strategy, and social responsibility. This was the message shared by our Deputy General Manager, Antonio Rom\u00e1n<\/strong>, during his participation in the roundtable “Challenges of the Agri-food Sector”<\/em> held as part of the AgroTest Digital<\/strong> event organized by Fundaci\u00f3n Cajamar<\/strong> in Almer\u00eda.<\/p>\n The session brought together leading companies in the sector such as Primaflor<\/strong>, Coprohn\u00edjar<\/strong>, and CASI<\/strong>, discussing key topics like digitalization, biological pest control, artificial intelligence and, of course, the generational handover<\/strong> in agriculture.<\/p>\n During his speech, Antonio Rom\u00e1n expressed a clear call to action:<\/p>\n “Investing in talent in Almer\u00eda is essential. We want young people to take the baton \u2014 both in the fields and in the leadership of agricultural companies.”<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n At Grupo Agroponiente, we believe the future of agriculture depends on a well-planned generational transition \u2014 ensuring both continuity and renewal. That means attracting young, skilled, and committed professionals<\/strong> to strengthen a more innovative, resilient, and sustainable agri-food model.<\/p>\n This generational commitment is reflected in our internal training strategies and partnerships with educational institutions, creating real opportunities for career growth in all areas of the agri-food chain \u2014 from production to corporate governance.<\/p>\n The day began with a guided tour of the Las Palmerillas Experimental Station<\/strong>, where various agtech startups<\/strong> presented pioneering solutions in smart irrigation, sensors, robotics, and biotechnology.<\/p>\n This strong focus on applied innovation<\/strong> aligns with Agroponiente\u2019s DNA: a company that leads the way in modern, efficient, and sustainable agriculture in southern Europe.<\/p>\n For Grupo Agroponiente, generational renewal<\/strong> is not just a business need \u2014 it’s a social commitment to our territory. We want the next generation to see agriculture as a worthy, stable, and purpose-driven career path \u2014 rooted in values like innovation, sustainability, and community impact.<\/p>\n Spaces like AgroTest Digital are essential to share knowledge, foster collaboration and showcase that the future of agriculture is already taking shape.<\/p>\n \ud83d\udc4f Special thanks to Fundaci\u00f3n Cajamar<\/strong> for organizing this high-level forum that encourages collective reflection and real action for the future of farming.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Antonio Rom\u00e1n emphasizes the need to attract and train young talent to ensure the future of the field and agricultural business management Generational renewal has become one of the most pressing challenges for the agri-food sector.
