Acompáñenos al Simposio Internacional de Sucesión el 28 de enero de 2026, organizado por Michael Mack, presidente de la Alianza para la Sucesión. Esta conversación global reunirá a profesionales, investigadores y representantes de explotaciones agrícolas del Reino Unido, Europa, Norteamérica, Australia y Nueva Zelanda para explorar las realidades de la planificación de la sucesión en la agricultura actual. Con las contribuciones de John Baker (Iowa), Matt Lobley (Universidad de Exeter, Reino Unido), Shane Conway (Universidad Tecnológica del Atlántico, Irlanda) y Andrew Lawson (Universidad de Nueva Inglaterra, Australia), el simposio utilizará preguntas pre-enviadas para guiar un debate verdaderamente internacional sobre los desafíos, patrones y temas emergentes que configuran la forma en que las familias planifican el futuro de sus explotaciones.

The symposium will feature short presentations and reflections from leading voices in agricultural succession:
