The state secretary added that to renew the Hungarian agriculture and food industry, it is essential to train professionals with 21st century knowledge and skills, who are indispensable in shaping the future of the Hungarian countryside. Agricultural vocational training institutions not only serve to convey professional knowledge, but are also arenas for value preservation and value creation. Here, students learn not only the love of farmland and community cohesion, but also the foundations that will shape them into agricultural entrepreneurs and farmers of the future.

The government is committed to the continuous support of agricultural vocational training, as the knowledge and experience gained here creates an opportunity for young people to enter the agricultural sector prepared and to contribute to the competitiveness and sustainability of Hungarian agriculture in the long term – reminded the state secretary.
