We participated in the PonicsVet project meeting in Greece

On June 6 and 7, Inga Bērziņa and Zanda Melnalksne represented the Farmers' Assembly at the Erasmus+ program project PonicsVet meeting in Greece. Together with partners from LLU, INNOBRIDGE (Bulgaria), IDEC (Greece), Eurocrea Merchant (Italy) and FarmTech Society ASBL (Belgium), we continued our work on creating a modern training program on the basics of creating and using hydroponic systems. Intensive work is planned in the summer to improve the content so that the program can be tested by interested parties in September. As hydroponics expert Toms Zoellners admits, hydroponics and aquaponics cultivation systems have a great future, however, research and technology development, as well as education of potential producers, must be continued. The creation of a training platform in the online environment is also the main goal of this project.
