Empowering Greek Rural Heroes with Business Skills

Following the successful completion of the 2025 cycle, we are now focused on preparing the next phase of “AgroAnelixi – Farmers of the Future,” which will run for the 7th consecutive year, with its launch expected in late April 2026.

This period is dedicated to designing and strengthening the upcoming cycle to ensure we continue delivering high-quality, targeted support to those who need it most.

“AgroAnelixi – Farmers of the Future” is a flagship, holistic business acceleration program supporting producers, very small agrifood businesses, food processing units, and cottage industries across Greece. It has become a cornerstone initiative in empowering the agrifood sector and fostering sustainable growth.

Impact so far (2020–2025):

• 100 professionals supported through business development

• 90 new or improved products developed

• 850 hours of consulting delivered

• 80 on-site visits conducted

• 9 new collaborations created

• 100% participant satisfaction (2023–2025)

These results highlight the tangible impact of targeted training and personalized support in empowering small agrifood entrepreneurs to grow sustainably and compete in an evolving market.

As we prepare for the next cycle, your continued support is more important than ever. With your help, we can reach even more small producers who need access to knowledge, tools, and guidance to thrive.

Support our mission and be part of the next chapter of AgroAnelixi. Together, we can empower rural entrepreneurs, strengthen local economies, and shape the future of sustainable agrifood in Greece.

Thank you for standing with us on this journey.

We are pleased to announce that the 2025 cycle of the “AgroAnelixi – Farmers of the Future” program has been successfully completed. This year’s cycle continued to build on the program’s mission of strengthening the resilience, skills, and competitiveness of small agrifood businesses across Greece.

A total of 12 agrifood enterprises from various regions of the country participated in the program, engaging in an extensive training process that combined both group learning and individualized support. Throughout the program, participants received more than 50 hours of education across a wide range of thematic areas, including:

• Food labeling & European legislation
• Soft skills development
• Food safety
• Storytelling & media training

In parallel, participating businesses benefited from 48 hours of one-on-one consulting, tailored to their specific needs and challenges. These personalized sessions, which concluded in October 2025, supported each enterprise in shaping its growth strategy and strengthening its operational capacity.

As part of the program’s practical component, on-site visits were conducted in collaboration with TÜV Austria, offering participants hands-on guidance and professional feedback directly at their production facilities.

The cycle concluded at the end of October 2025 with a closing networking event, bringing together this year’s participants, program partners, and members of the wider agrifood community. During the event, certificates of completion were awarded to all participating businesses—recognizing their commitment to continuous learning, innovation, and sustainable development.

AgroAnelixi continues to demonstrate the positive impact that targeted training and individualized support can have on small agrifood enterprises, enabling them to build capacity, enhance product quality, and strengthen their presence in a rapidly evolving market.

We remain committed to empowering small producers and agrifood entrepreneurs across Greece. Your support is essential for us to continue providing high-quality training and guidance to very small agrifood businesses that need it most. Together, we can help them grow, innovate, and thrive.

Thank you for being part of this important journey!
