During the meeting Luigi Sartori (University of Padua), Alberto Crema (IREA-CNR) and Raffaele Casa (Tuscia University) will present research activities in the national context and case studies where precision farming is already successfully adopted.
After the first session, a round table will take place involving ERMES researchers, precision farmers collaborating with ERMES project, vice-president of rice district “Risaie della Lomellina”, a representative of “Consorzio di tutela della I.G.P Riso Nano Vialone Veronese” and SPEKTRA AGRI s.r.l.
