The competition will be open to both individuals planning to engage in agricultural business in the countryside, as well as beginners or existing farmers.
“This year, training will be held in new areas: “Rural agrotourism” and “Technology for processing crop and livestock products.” These directions were not chosen by chance. The feedback received from the alumni of previous streams showed that these topics are currently particularly relevant.
