More specifically, the topics to be discussed are Agriculture 4.0, Applied Precision Agriculture, Environmental Certification, the new Common Agricultural Policy and Digital Technologies, and Research and Good Agricultural Practices, while an integrated Smart Farming platform will also be presented.
The speakers at the event are: the director of the Institute of Bio-Economy & Agri-Technology (iBO), Dr. Dionysis Bochtis, and iBO/CERTH researchers Mr. Ilias Platis, Dr. Dimitris Aidonis, Dr. Aristotelis Tagarakis and Mr. Dimitris Kateris, as well as the General Manager of ena Development Consultants, Dimitris Bardakidis.
The event will be held in a hybrid format, with limited in-person attendance in the conference room of the Elisso hotel in Xanthi and the option to follow online via livestreaming, due to the restrictions in force as part of the measures to prevent the spread of Covid-19.
