Course Objective:
The main objectives of an initial digitalization training in this area can focus, first of all, on introducing future professionals to the use of basic digital tools to improve management and operational efficiency.
The initial digitalisation also seeks to strengthen the sustainability, traceability and competitiveness of the sector, promoting the use of digital platforms that allow processes to be certified, the value chain to be controlled and logistics to be improved. According to regional initiatives, digitalization also contributes to establishing employment in rural areas and strengthening the bioeconomy, promoting more responsible production practices aligned with the digital transition. These objectives respond to the need for companies in the sector to adapt to an increasingly technological and globalised market, and to incorporate tools that facilitate both administrative procedures and internal management
