At IRTA we are a thousand professionals spread across the Catalan territory. Our researchers accumulate extensive knowledge about the agri-food sector, with which we work closely. We have hundreds of projects underway to support the sector in the face of the important challenges it currently faces, related to climate change, new technologies or sustainability.
Because we are aware of the social value of the knowledge we have and generate, linked to a need as basic as feeding ourselves , we work every day to transfer it to society:
· Through outreach activities, where we have direct contact with citizens, especially children and young people in training.
· By publishing news and interviews on our website, which we disseminate through social networks: Linkedin , Instagram , X , Facebook and YouTube .
· Through press releases and conferences, so that the media can cover it.
