The Agri-Food Revolution
It is time we acknowledged the vital role of the primary sector. As a matter of fact, widespread strikes against the Mercosur treaty have recently paralyzed roads across Europe; consequently, the importance of food sovereignty is clearer than ever. It is generally believed that agriculture is an old-fashioned trade, yet the reality is quite different. Due to modernization, vocational training offers three major Higher Technician cycles.
Firstly, the Higher Technician in Landscaping and Rural Environment, which allows direct contact with nature, is ideal for those who love the outdoors. Secondly, the Higher Technician in Viticulture is a fascinating option for students whose passion is wine production. However, the third option, the Higher Technician in Processes and Quality in the Food Industry, offers superior stability.
It is this specific cycle that bridges the gap between the field and the supermarket. Whereas traditional agriculture relies on weather, food processing is constant. Complex subjects related to biochemistry as well as food safety are taught rigorously in this course. Unless strict protocols are followed, public health is put at risk. Providing you graduate from prestigious centers like IES La Rosaleda in Málaga or IES Santo Domingo in El Puerto de Santa María, you ought to find a job quickly. Furthermore, English is essential in this globalized market; actually, a technician with strong language skills need not fear unemployment regarding exports.
Salaries might reach €26,000 initially, with high employability. You would rather earn a stable income than rely on harvest luck, wouldn't you? By the end of the decade, the industry will have been fully transformed by 'FoodTech'. You might have thought farming was low-tech, yet digitization is revolutionizing the supply chain. As long as people eat, this industry will thrive.
