The group formed by six institutions from Spain, France and Portugal to develop the AgroGreen-SUDOE projectcelebrate this coming Thursday, March 23, at the Instituto Superior de Agronoma de Lisboa (ISA), a final day in which, in addition to the conclusions drawn, those responsible will present a series of free digital tools that seek to advance sustainability of southern European farming systems.
AgroGreen is an Interreg-SUDOE project whose objective is to co-design, with the affected stakeholders, sustainable management practices for farming systems in the SUDOE territory.
The Minister of Agriculture and Food of Portugal, Maria do Cu Antune, together with the Secretary General of Agriculture and Food of the Government of Spain, Fernando Miranda Sotillos, will accompany the representatives of the Center for Studies and Research for the Management of Agricultural and Environmental Risks of the Polytechnic University of Madrid (CEIGRAM), the Union of Small Farmers and Ranchers of Spain (UPA), the Association of Beneficiaries and Irrigators of the Sorraia Valley (ABRVS) in Portugal, the Chamber of Agriculture of the Charente-Maritime (CA17) French, and who organize the day. Likewise, some of the twenty entities associated with the project will also attend, among which the Federation of Rural Women’s Associations (FADEMUR) stands out.
In addition to showing the main conclusions reached within AgroGreen-SUDOE, the organizers will show the public, face-to-face and online, two free digital tools produced within the project.
On the one hand, a viewer of agro-environmental impacts linked to different agricultural management scenarios in the hydrographic basins of the three countries. On the other, a nutrient calculator that, under the coordination of UPA, seeks to be a strategic tool for farmers in the SUDOE space to carry out fertilization adjusted to the needs of their crops, thus minimizing the extra cost and environmental impact derived from the same.
