    • Barriers, like opportunities, have different and diverse connotations
      depending on the country, political regime, degree of development, soil
      and subsoil resources, geographical and geopolitical position, etc. So:

      a) In countries where there are large agricultural enterprises, very
      strong groups, mostly international, which coagulate new classes of
      financial investors, until recently not traditionally involved in the
      agricultural sector, namely banking groups, investment funds, individual
      traders and private equity companies , "land transaction brokers" etc.,
      they professionally and efficiently manage the production mechanisms and
      method, imposing their own industrial strategies and defining, in the last
      resort, even the taste and quality of the food products we consume.
      These groups possess technologies and laboratories for the production of
      germplasm of the highest quality (varieties and hybrids of plants and
      animals, Genetically Modified Organisms, etc.), are in a relationship with
      or govern the large markets, ensuring the possibility of selling the food
      products obtained , benefit from subsidies and preferential political
      "treatments", far surpassing as "applied artificial intelligence" the
      holders of knowledge, respectively the actors in the domestic agri-food
      systems, including the university type.

      b) In countries where there are, for the most part, small and
      medium-sized owners, usually not organized in Cooperatives or other forms
      of association and extension, the phenomenon of land grabbing occurs, that
      is, of selling/buying land at minimum prices, as a consequence of the lack
      of the constant access to specialized consulting, to the domestic
      manufacturer's sales market, the lack of access to stimulating financing
      to develop the business, the lack of access to large retail chains, which
      have very high procurement standards from the point of view of this
      category by producers (including in terms of labeling and packaging),
      often requesting certifications issued by international and independent
      bodies, for certain categories of products, all of which presuppose
      knowledge as well as significant financial costs.
      In addition, local producers do not have a developed production and
      distribution process, which is why other difficulties arise, such as
      effective access to retailer representatives, storage of goods,
      organization of transport at local or national level or ensuring a
      continuous annual flow of products to meet the needs of retailers.
      Conclusively, small and medium producers, those who should be the basis of
      agro-food production, cannot build and do not have an organized system of
      the market for the produced food, through which they can also benefit from
      the introduction and rapid absorption of new knowledge, in order to the
      adoption of new technologies and the correct fulfillment of business
      obligations.
      Also, these producers do not have adequate knowledge regarding the
      importance of digitizing their work, nor do they invest in acquiring
      managerial skills, do not consistently participate in the provision of
      data and do not technically exploit their scientific interpretation.
      As a specialist in Food Security and Safety, I believe that any national
      agri-food system, based on knowledge, requires a synergistic support of
      national and community policies, including financial ones, for better
      functioning, for a coherent implementation of governance and resilience
      systems existing or future.
