The growing technological complexity that characterises modern agro-industrial production and supply chains requires professionals with strong engineering knowledge and systems skills. More than in other fields, there is a clear need for a strong multidisciplinary approach to managing technological innovation in agriculture and animal production, especially to increase the level of sustainability and ensure food safety.

The whole sector is innovating: in the last three years, for example, the average annual growth of Agriculture 4.0 in Italy was 104% (Osservatorio Smart Agrifood, 2021). While the research for more and more sustainability is creating new innovative forces. An area where the European Union is a leader.

Agricultural Engineering is the first Master’s Degree in engineering in Italy dedicate to the technological innovation of agro-industrial systems and one of the few of its kind in the world. The course is provided by the excellence environment of the Politecnico di Milano, which boasts a prestigious international collaboration with other university institutes.
