["Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView. ", "\nABSTRACT\nThe agri‐food sector occupies a paradoxical position in the climate crisis, being both a major contributor to greenhouse gas emissions and one of the sectors most exposed to climate‐induced disruptions. Addressing this dual challenge requires a transition towards circular production and consumption models capable of reducing resource intensity, supporting decarbonisation and enhancing climate resilience. Yet, the effectiveness of this transition depends not only on technological and organisational innovation, but also on the availability of specific employability skills that enable circular strategies to contribute to climate change mitigation and adaptation. Despite growing scholarly attention to circular economy skills, limited empirical evidence exists on the competence profiles required in the agri‐food sector to operationalise the climate‐circularity nexus. This study addresses this gap by conducting a large‐scale analysis of job advertisements extracted from digital recruitment platforms. Using advanced text mining and large language model‐based classification techniques, skills are identified, classified and grouped according to their functional nature (i.e., hard, soft and transversal) and their thematic orientation (i.e., digital, climate change mitigation, climate change adaptation and agri‐food‐specific skills). The results reveal the prominence of transversal competences, the growing relevance of digital and mitigation‐oriented profiles and the comparatively weaker visibility of adaptation‐related skills. By mapping the emerging architecture of skill demand, the study contributes to the literature on circular economy, employability and climate‐responsive agri‐food transitions, while offering practical insights for education providers, policy‐makers and firms seeking to align workforce development with circular and climate‐resilient transformation.\n"]
