Are current agricultural educational models suitable to meet global challenges? Case studies: Europe 1

Ballesta A.

2015 is the target year of the United Nations Millenium Development Goals and the launching of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG). As two of the MDG were to eradicate hunger and to ensure environmental sustainability, SDG look for a world development based on-sustainability. World agriculture must face the challenge to feed an increasing world population, to produce a higher diet quality, to develop renewable sources of energy and changing weather patterns and, all that, respecting environment security. All these challenges need a high number of graduates, with deep knowledge of Agriculture, Food Technology, Forestry, Environment, Biotechnology, Bioeconomy…, deep knowledge in Life Sciences. This is a challenge for universities of Agriculture and Life Sciences which have to face developing curricula in providing graduates with good competences and skills related to the needs of industry, government and society in the 21st century.
