The climate emergency compels us to seek solutions to ensure sustainable and resilient agriculture. The 2025 Agriculture and Environment Seminar, now in its 18th edition, will delve into this critical topic.
The seminar will feature talks exploring innovative and traditional techniques aimed at optimizing the use of natural resources to tackle the challenges posed by climate change. The sessions will take place over two separate days: Saturday, February 1, and Saturday, February 8.
In light of the significant changes brought about by the climate emergency, agricultural regeneration has become an urgent necessity. It is not just about ensuring food production but also about conserving and improving ecosystems while harmonizing agricultural activity with environmental protection.
The seminar aims to provide a practical and inspiring perspective on applying these strategies through successful case studies.
