– (3) Education and local experience integration

We will discuss and present several technologies, products, innovations, services and methods that not only show the benefits for farmers, farm advisors or the public side but also explain the enormous impact these new technologies will have in building new services for these customer groups: the entire agro-food chain, from farmers via suppliers/buyers to consumers.
