The Most Outstanding Conferences and Speakers at the Upcoming Congress

The greatest regional and international event on technologies and innovation for sustainable agriculture will take place. We tell you the latest news about the most outstanding panels, speakers, and focal points.v

FOCAL POINT: Bioeconomy

Real cases of projects that seek to decarbonize production processes in different parts of the country and worldwide. Which are the factors that restrict the development of new bioeconomy projects in Argentina and how to deal with them? Biological inputs: why are they a trend and how to incorporate them into our systems? 

FOCAL POINT: Biotechnology

The latest advances for crop breeding. Overview and insect resistance management to biotechnological phenomenon. Regulatory matters in Argentina and other countries. 

FOCAL POINT: Laws and Public Policies

Without policies promoting the implementation of both knowledge and processes discussed in all of the other focal points, there are no sustainable systems. In this focal point, we will discuss proactively the ways that state policies might contribute to improve our systems, as well as successful cases of the public-private articulation that are already emerging. 

FOCAL POINT: Crop Management

Aapresid's numerous experiences in different influential locations throughout the country and abroad where we will discuss in-depth topics like nutrition, pests and crop genetics, always from the no-till farming system approach promoted by our institution. Starting from semi-arid regions of the country through the Humid Pampas to experiences in other Latin American countries. 

FOCAL POINT: Soil Health and Climate Change

It is the main focal point of the congress, spanning throughout the entire program and related precisely to this year's motto: “C”. This focal point will be addressed from a global perspective to the lot, reinforcing one of the most important premises of Aapresid: live healthy soils that contribute to mitigation and adaptation to climate change. 

FOCAL POINT: Agroecological Systems

Agroecology is a polysemic term. What do we mean when we talk about an agroecological system, regenerative agriculture and livestock or sustainable systems in no-tillage systems? Do they have the same meaning? The aim of this focal point is to answer these questions through the institution and genuine production systems. There will be also insights from the industry, the consumers and their demands. 

FOCAL POINT: Integrated Systems

Integration between agriculture and livestock is the 'Evergreen Agriculture' key component promoted by Aapresid, since it allows the addition of a greater diversification and intensification to our systems. At the same time, these systems demand greater attention and management. In this focal point, we will look at the key points that we must manage in order to maximize the benefits of integrated or mixed systems. 

FOCAL POINT: Machinery and Agtechs

From the most disruptive to the essential. In this focal point, we will undoubtedly discuss about which are the latest technologies we will use in our fields over the next few years, but we will also emphasize on those “old” technologies that need to be improved in each production process. What does the digitalization of agriculture involve and how do we prepare to lead it? 

FOCAL POINT: Education and Communication

Current knowledge young people should comprehend in order to manage and integrate the latest technologies into production systems. Science dissemination: how to reach the public easily and effortlessly.
