In an impulse forum at the DLG Winter Conference 2025 in Münster in mid-February, the DLG Farm Management Committee focussed on a highly relevant topic: ‘The agricultural country Ukraine between war and EU accession’.
During the expert panel "Bioeconomy and Innovation," organized with the participation of the DLG, experts presented projects and identified the necessary framework conditions for achieving resource-efficient and financially viable agriculture.
The panel aims to present innovative approaches in the field of bioeconomy in Asia and give an insight into how the exchange between actors and projects is promoted: How can sustainable innovations be identified and evaluated? How can innovations be disseminated in agricultural practice and in the value and supply chains? What financing options need to be developed and what political and institutional conditions need to be in place?
