On July 20-22, the Mediterranean Agronomic Institute of Chania (MAICh) coordinated sixteen 15-minute online presentations for the EU-funded LIVINGAGRO project’s first B2B event. The free event attracted 58 participants: farmers, agronomists, marketers, managers, exporters, researchers, and others involved with agri-food products and agroforestry.
A number of the participants also scheduled one-on-one meetings with innovators who offered solutions to challenges in the olive oil, olive, and livestock sectors in Greece.
For those unable to attend the July event, there will be additional presentations and one-on-one meetings in Chania, Crete in December, most likely in a hybrid online / face-to-face format (conditions and regulations permitting).
A detailed Catalogue of Innovations is available on the LIVINGAGRO project web page; each innovation was also described in Greek on the Praxi Network platform, and a Greek catalogue can now be downloaded, with contact information included for each innovator.
Taking place on the Praxi Network platform, the July event was designed to bring together innovators with Greek farmers and professionals. The presentations covered a wide range of topics:
• Intercropping in Olive Groves
• Precision Agriculture
• Machinery
• Health Benefit Determination
• Olive Tree and Olive Oil Authentication
• Preparation for Climate Change
• Re-using Traditional Practices in Agroforestry
