Population growth and increased consumption are driving global demand for food and, with the expansion of agricultural activity, the modern agri-food system is highly resource-intensive and wasteful.

The two main trends, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the Circular Economy (CE), emerge as powerful tools and solutions to address climate and sustainable development goals.

Applying a circular approach and AI solutions to the agri-food sector can have a positive economic, social and environmental impact.

AI and CE create a competitive advantage for companies without harming the environment and society.

Thus, in its three years of implementation, the AISkills4CT project expects to:

1. Raise awareness and train professionals in the agri-food sectors in the use of AI along supply chains.
2. Increase the knowledge and competences of agri-food professionals with a set of advanced skills for the labour market, maintaining or improving their employability.
3. Contribute to fostering the digital transformation of agri-food companies through the use and benefits of AI technologies, in order to improve their production and the circular management of human resources.
4. Facilitate the transition towards a more circular and resilient agri-food sector, and more globally, towards a climate-neutral society.
5. Enable students to immediately apply their knowledge and skills in real life.
