Training is vital to equip new entrants with the skills to produce good-quality, local, and sustainable food. Offering a new perspective on a long-discussed topic, this collaborative workshop explores practical solutions for entrants and employers, with updates on agroecological training opportunities, qualifications, and policy. The session will identify essential knowledge and skills needed by employers, support the development of new agroecological apprenticeships, and examine evidence for the need and impact of a national apprenticeship standard in this dynamic and evolving sector.
