Copa-Cogeca hosts FIGARO's closing conference in Brussels
Copa-Cogeca, the umbrella organisation of European farmers and agri-cooperatives, hosted the project's closing conference at its Brussels offices on 19 September 2016.
The platform had been tested over three years in Spain, Portugal, Italy, Greece, Denmark and Israel, on tomatoes, maize, potatoes, citrus and cotton. According to the consortium, it gave farmers reliable advice on irrigation and reduced their uncertainty about water use and expected income.
The conference was open to farmers, agricultural advisers, agro-industry and EU officials. Programme and presentations: see the conference page.
