New generations of European farmers face numerous challenges: climate-related (mitigation and adaptation), environmental (agroecological transition), societal (animal welfare, organic and local food), economic, and demographic challenges, linked to workforce renewal, European food sovereignty, and the preservation of the European model of family farming. These issues – threats, but also opportunities – lie at the heart of the concerns and strategies of the European Commission and EU member states. The TCA should promote the development of new Erasmus+ partnership projects that deliver a European added value and achieve outcomes to address these issues.

The organisations targeted for this event are:

• Technical agricultural training institutions: teachers, management, heads of studies, heads of international relations
