Digitalization, technological developments, market changes and challenging global and climatic trends underline an ongoing transformation in agricultural production and the agricultural economy as a whole. Modern farms are developing in the direction of commercial enterprises, service and trading companies, both with increasing farm sizes and through new strategic orientations and specializations (e.g. direct marketing of agricultural products, special fruit cultivation, services, etc.). Management and leadership skills are in equal demand here, as is the constant willingness and the associated skills to recognize trends, to understand digitization, to develop innovations into products, to apply digitally supported marketing and to implement all of this throughout the company - also as independent entrepreneurs.
