Scientists and experts from Bulgaria, Turkey, Greece and Georgia will meet in Burgas to discuss how to water crops more sparingly and grow more food with less water. The international congress takes place on 15 October at the Flora Exhibition Centre.
Its theme is "National Approaches to Water and Food Security".
The programme includes presentations and discussions on irrigation, food production with less water and sustainable farming. Each of the four countries will present its own experience and practical ways of managing water.
Farmers, industry associations, and representatives of institutions and research bodies are welcome, as is anyone interested in the topic. Guests will be able to ask questions, share experience and make contacts.
Registration starts at 09:30 and the opening is at 10:00.
The congress is part of the project "Decision Support System for Global Water Balance" (GwB), which is funded by the Interreg NEXT "Black Sea Basin 2021–2027" programme.
