The green-growth session will deal with the overall issue of sustainability in agriculture and forestry and especially with the topics CO2 emission, mitigation measures in relation to climate change and the installation of new technologies and methods to counter the actual crises and to achieve a sustainable bettering for the future. PROGIS technologies will be presented and approaches as well as projects with trans-sectoral public-private partnerships discussed.

We cordially invite you to take part in this event, to learn more on our developments and perchance to take part in a common project. Here are some important details to the EDDs.
