Agricultural equipment manufacturer Case IH has launched a competition aimed at bringing through young farmers throughout Europe and improving agricultural practice by 2020.
Agri-Future 2020 wants to hear participants’ ideas and visions to improve efficiency and boost the potential of agriculture by the year 2020. Any farming theme can be chosen, from agricultural technology to plant science, farming crops or rearing livestock.
This is the first time that Case IH has hosted the Agri-Future 2020 competition, which was officially launched in Paris, and applicants can apply online. Individuals or teams with up to three participants can enter.
The only requirement for entering the competition is that participants must be aged between 18 and 25 and currently be attending, or have completed a course, at an agricultural college.
The winners will be invited to the European "Agri-Future 2020 Camp" organised by CASE IH, be held on November 12-13 in Berlin. The programme includes a wide variety of excursions and visits to farming-related businesses, including a day at Agritechnica 2009 in Hanover. The competition closes on September 15.
