Abstract

There have been successes and failures in combatting COVID-19 worldwide. News of the emergence of vaccines and the start of their widespread use give a ray of hope, but the battle is not over yet. Agriculture has a special role to play in this, as food should be maintained in all circumstances all over the world. There can be no question of a temporary shutdown in this sector. This study points out that the pandemic has caused labour shortages in seasonal work in both EU and US agriculture, which not only highlights, but also forces the acceleration of innovation-driven efficiency gains and generational change. Innovation in this case is aimed at reducing the need for human resources, and generational change is aimed at involving young women and men in agricultural production. The preservation and continuation of agricultural production is the basis for maintaining agricultural trade and the supply chain. The study sheds light on the short- and long-term effects and changes that the COVID-19 has caused in these areas. Success requires not only the development of the quantitative, but also the professional, qualitative preparation of the workforce, for which the authors recommend the wide application of talent management in agriculture and point out the most important elements of conscious preparation.
