Precision Agriculture Conference is intended not only for experts from the agritech sector, but also for the general public and potential investors. It provides an insight into trends in modern agriculture, which, thanks to digitalization and other innovations, respond to key challenges of today - in particular climate change, loss of nutrients in the soil, and the need for effective monitoring of agricultural production at all stages of processing.

The event will be moderated by Prof. František Kumhála. The program will include a debate on the prospects of precision agriculture not only in the Ústí nad Labem region, moderated by Ing. Zdeněk Hušek.

The event will present practical solutions, scientific findings and examples from practice that show how precision agriculture can contribute to a sustainable and competitive future of Czech and European agriculture.

We would like to thank the Most District Agrarian Chamber for presenting the products of the Regional Food brand in the Ústí nad Labem Region.
