Among days, presentations, conferences, drone exhibitions, professional meetings, demonstrations of local products and foodstuffs and other training and information activities
With topics such as sustainability, climate change, plant health, food sovereignty, financing, forestry resources, agricultural machinery, irrigation and precision agriculture
The Sant Miquel Agricultural Fair and the Eurofruit show will host more than 40 technical activities this year, including seminars, presentations, conferences, drone exhibitions in the framework of precision agriculture, professional meetings, demonstrations of local products and foodstuffs and other training and informative activities. The topics to be covered include sustainability, climate change, agricultural financing, plant health, food sovereignty, forestry resources, agricultural machinery, irrigation and precision agriculture, among others.
The conferences and presentations already confirmed will focus on very diverse content, such as composting on the farm itself; the problem of wildlife in fruit and extensive crops; the lines of financing of ENISA (Empresa Nacional de Innovación Sociedad Anónima); digitisation in high-value crops within the reach of the farmer; Climate change, biodiversity and irrigation; Food disinformation (the “fake news”); Towards a Circular Bioeconomy in Catalonia – BIT 2022 Congress; Plant health (the role of the ADVs in the new European scenario), or the dilemma between Energy sovereignty or food sovereignty.
Equally, the conferences on the Results of the Territorial Specialisation and Competitiveness Project are interesting: The Forest (the first resource of the green economy); Precision agricultural machinery; Irriga Control: intelligent solutions for the digitalisation of agricultural estates; The olive tree and nuts: aid from the new CAP and the maximum use of natural resources, or the Conference on the herbicide Glyphosate.
The show will also host professional meetings such as the meeting of the Council of Colleges of Commercial Agents of Catalonia, the assembly of members of the FECOC (Federation of Catalan Sheep and Goat Breeders’ Associations) or the meeting of the jury of the Award for Technological Innovation and Safety in the Design of Agricultural Machinery and Equipment for the Agri-food Industry.
To this should be added the various activities (exhibition, displays, presentations, games) organised by Lleidadrone and the Virtual Reverse Mission Agrotech 2021, which will see the participation of 10 countries (Chile, Costa Rica, Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya, Morocco, Peru, Dominican Republic, South Africa and Turkey).
The 67th edition of the Sant Miquel Agricultural Fair (National Agricultural Machinery Show) and the 36th edition of Eurofruit (Professional Trade Fair for Fruit Industry Suppliers) will take place from 30 September to 3 October at the Fira de Lleida.
