The organization New Agriculture New Generation is pleased to announce that Agrifood Leadership 2025-2026, the first and only leadership program dedicated exclusively to the agrifood sector in Greece, is placed for the third consecutive year under the auspices of the Ministry of Rural Development and Food.
The renewal of this auspices constitutes an important recognition of the program’s contribution to developing new leadership executives for the country’s agrifood sector and further strengthens its institutional character.
Agrifood Leadership is implemented by New Agriculture New Generation, through the founding donation of the Stavros Niarchos Foundation (SNF), with Rutgers University (USA) serving as technical and strategic advisor.
The program offers a unique educational experience, combining seven educational activities in different regions of Greece and in Brussels, as well as three online workshops. A total of 120 training hours, with an emphasis on experiential learning, innovation and practical application, cultivate essential leadership and communication skills—from strategic thinking and team management to negotiations, public speaking, storytelling and marketing.
At the same time, participants have the opportunity to connect with leading professionals and stakeholders of the agrifood ecosystem in Greece and abroad, while upon completion of the program they receive certification from ACTA – a spin-off of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki. In addition, graduates become members of a vibrant and ever-expanding community of professionals that supports their career path in the sector.
Applications for Agrifood Leadership 2025-2026 will remain open until September 15, 2025! The number of spots is limited, and selection will be based on evaluation and interviews.
