As in other business sectors, modern agriculture and horticulture are also evolving at a rapid pace. In particular, the technological revolution within the agricultural knowledge complex seems to be the driver of a rapidly changing context in which modern agriculture and horticulture operate.
From the provincial agricultural policy, we offer support to make the sector more resilient to further take up their important economic and social role.
