'Agritechnica Asia & Horti Asia Regional Summit: Smart Production for Sustainable Food Systems' is to be held as a hybrid event. It is organized by VNU Asia Pacific and DLG (German Agricultural Society) and co-hosted by the Thai Ministry of Agriculture and Cooperatives, and will take place online at DLG Connect, the platform for the global agricultural community, and in-person in Nakhon Ratchasima, Thailand, on 16 and 17 November 2021.
Smart production
Plant production is a vital part of many sustainable food systems. At the same time, food systems have to protect natural resources, contribute to improving the livelihood of stakeholders, and strengthen communities at all levels. In order to cover all these challenges at once, and to ensure sustainable food production by Thai farmers, more innovative methods and smart solutions are needed. The Agritechnica Asia & Horti Asia Regional Summit offers farmers and farming specialists from Thailand and South East Asia not only innovative farming systems and a wide range of solutions for improving crop production but also access to a worldwide network of international companies.
Under the guiding theme 'Smart production for sustainable food systems', the Regional Summit addresses the challenges of sustainable food production facing farmers from Southeast Asia and especially Thailand. Organized by DLG (German Agricultural Society) and VNU Asia Pacific, the Regional Summit takes place at the Imperial Hotel and Convention Centre Korat in Nakhon Ratchasima, the very heart of rice, cassava, and sugarcane production in Thailand. Complementing the in-person event held in Thailand, DLG’s online platform will additionally connect onsite and online international providers, experts, and attendees. The summit is officially co-hosted by the Thai Ministry of Agriculture and Cooperatives.
