There are only a few days left until the VII Jornadas de Fruticultura

From 9th March, in La Almunia de Doña Godina, Zaragoza (Spain), the Association of Agricultural Entrepreneurs of the Right Bank of the Ebro - AEAMDE, is organising the VII Conference on Fruit Growing. They will talk about water use, soil health, new fruit varieties, technical and scientific advances in fruit growing, a key sector in Aragon. 

 

In 2023, Aragon exported 187,664 tonnes of fruit and vegetables, with nectarine, peach and flat peach being the most outstanding, generating 294 million euros, with 257 million coming from fruit.

 

Strategies for efficient water use and soil nutrition, adapting to climate change, will be discussed at the event.

 

Experts such as Alex Escolà (GRAP group of the University of Lleida), Ángel Jiménez (dean of the Official Association of Agricultural Engineers of Aragon, Navarre and the Basque Country), Carlos Lozano (Centre for Plant Health and Certification of the Government of Aragon) and Joan Torrents (owner of the ModpoW product), among others, will participate.

 

There will also be a round table on energy economics, with debates on self-consumption, with speakers such as Tirso Vázquez, co-founder of BOMBEATEC and Pedro Larrotiz, director of DIEM environmental management, among others.

 

Varietal and technological innovation issues will be addressed by professionals such as Carlos Tapia (Avium SpA from Chile), Todd Einhorn (Michigan State University) and other professionals.
