There’s a new wave of young farmers revolutionising the agriculture industry.

Today, more than half of the Portuguese farmers are more than 65 years old and only 70% had basic education. The new generation is graduated, has new techniques and wants to develop new products. New farmers can be more dynamic, take advantage of new technologies and open new markets. Changes are already visible and exportations started to increase.

Meet 5 of this new generation of farmers in this article by Rafael Pires - via Portugal Startups.
