dc.description.abstract | This paper set out to explore the precision agriculture (PA)-training needs of students
studying in agricultural universities in the Euro-Mediterranean region (Greece, Italy, Portugal and
Spain). SPARKLE is a Knowledge Alliance Project, funded by the European Union (EU), and one
of its main goals is to narrow the innovation divide between entrepreneurship and the effective
application of sustainable PA. During the project, the research conducted in all countries in the
Euro-Mediterranean region revealed differences in the PA-training needs of university students.
Additionally, this paper set out to explore the socioeconomic characteristics of students that affect
their interest and knowledge towards PA. Finally, this paper aimed to understand the scope, present
status and strategies for improving PA training in agricultural universities in the Euro-Mediterranean
region. The following descriptive statistics and two multivariate analysis techniques were used:
Two-Step Cluster Analysis (TSCA) and Categorical Regression (CATREG). Results support the notion
that the lack of “PA knowledge/interest” adds to the technological gap amongst university students,
slow adoption of PA and lower levels of overall rural economic development. These findings will
be used as the fundamental cognition for the development of a joint action plan and several other
national plans in the selected regions. | es |
