Project Number: 2022-1-DE02-KA220-ADU-000085106

Challenge

According to the UN, world food production needs to double by 2050 to cater to its exponential population growth and evolving food habits. This fact inherently entails concerns about the associated environmental impacts of climate change on biodiversity, soil, and water quality, and the global marketplace’s demands (FAO, 2017). With its innovative methodology, GrandFriend aims to invigorate the process of achieving 2050 goals, increase involvement in the Agricultural sector, and contribute to the rising needs of the marketplace’s demands.

Innovation

GrandFriend aims to cultivate the entrepreneurial mindset among new and experienced agro-entrepreneurs by raising awareness of the benefits of Intergenerational Programs in Agricultural development and promoting knowledge–sharing between older and younger generations in the agriculture sector.
