The need for dissemination and critical issues in accessing technologies in agriculture

The primary sector is called to respond to various challenges: providing quality food and producing it sustainably; addressing the need to reduce emissions and protect soil fertility; implementing the production and use of renewable sources; interacting with an increasing number of productive sectors.

At the same time, the primary sector needs measures that favor the path of agroecological transition. In this context, it is necessary to question how access to available technologies can be facilitated for the numerous Italian farms that are ready to take on the challenge. Over time, anaerobic digestion has proven to be a technology capable of driving the introduction of other innovative technologies in the agricultural business context.

The focus of the conference is to offer an in-depth analysis on the topic and respond to the questions and requests of the sector, proposing virtuous behaviors and best practices.
