Hundred: “Today the real innovation is the competence”

“Innovation, skills, sustainability: at a time when you think you know everything by going online, the real innovation is competence. Putting it at the center”. This was stated by Gianmarco Centinaio, undersecretary for Agricultural, Food and Forestry Policies who spoke at the inauguration of the new Center for Industrial Excellence which was held today in Crespellano (Bologna). “Often there is a distorted perception of the agricultural sector” observed Centinaio who added: “It is thought that it is something for the elderly, something almost ancient. Today agriculture is made up of young people, graduates, and not always graduates in subjects. related to agriculture. There is research in agriculture, just think of how we try to overcome climate change. Today, through new technologies, work in agriculture has entered the future. Philip Morris is the only multinational company that has signed a contract of three-year supply chain with Italian farmers and these investments allow agricultural entrepreneurs to do planning and this helps to bring agriculture more and more towards new technologies and new skills “, he concluded.
