Training
Training is an integral part of our vision and is connected to research and development (R&D) activities and the provision of precision agriculture services.
“The need to train experts and technicians with entirely new transdisciplinary skills, accustomed to understanding and managing complex phenomena, capable of adopting rational solutions in intricate agricultural systems, is a top priority for the BF Group.”
Committed to you
What we do
We intercept innovation at its source: we collaborate with academia, research institutions, businesses and startups, with the dual aim of integrating agronomic and technological expertise and ensuring continuous technology transfer in the fields of innovation and R&D.
We design and deliver continuous, specialised and professional training programmes with a strong focus on research and development, technological innovation, and sustainable development (economic, environmental, and social).

SUMMER SCHOOL
Digital water management for sustainable irrigation
IBF Servizi, in collaboration with the Universities of Parma, Bologna and Teramo, CREA, ANBI and the Emilia-Romagna Canal, organised a Summer School from 12 to 16 September 2022 aimed at 25 participants, including PhD students, researchers and service providers. Designed to enhance the skills of students from various Italian and international universities, the Summer School focused on the use of sensors and data analysis for the digitalisation of irrigation. Students engaged with university lecturers, researchers and industry experts through classroom sessions, hands-on exercises and field case studies on both herbaceous and arboreal cropping systems.

First-Level Master’s Programme
We collaborate on the first-level master’s programme in precision agriculture
Now in its fourth edition, the master’s is organized by the University of Tuscia, the University of Teramo, the Universities of Florence, Padua and Salerno, the National Research Council (CNR), and the Council for Agricultural Research and Economics (CREA). The aim is to train professionals capable of leading companies through the transition to digital and precision agriculture: agronomists, as well as engineers, IT specialists and experts in environmental and biological processes, ready to effectively apply the opportunities offered by technology
Second-Level Master’s Programme
Design and management of modern, sustainable and technologically advanced cropping systems
The master’s programme, developed in collaboration with the Department of Agricultural and Food Sciences at the University of Bologna, aims to train agronomists specialised in the design and management of modern, sustainable and technologically advanced cropping systems, focused on the production of raw materials for non-food industrial purposes, including bioenergy and biorefineries.
