The agri benchmark Academy, a new initiative from the renowned agri benchmark Network, invites young pig farmers worldwide to enhance their skills and knowledge in farm management, global economics, animal welfare, and environmental analysis.

Young pig farmers are confronted with dynamic and fast evolving agricultural framework conditions. To ensure a prosperous future, there are several key areas they should focus on. Education and continuous training are crucial for staying abreast of the latest advancements in pig farming, animal health and welfare, sustainability, biosecurity and agricultural technologies. Actively participating in workshops and training programs can enhance skills and knowledge, providing a solid foundation for success.

The agri benchmark Academy addresses this very point, providing a platform and network for young pig farmers. Young farmers from around the world are invited to join the Academy. This event conducts training in areas such as farm management, global economics, competitiveness, animal welfare and environmental analysis. Each farmer contributes the data of their enterprise to the international comparison, learning to interpret the resulting benchmarking.
