Educational and practical sessions as well as workshops were organised during the exhibition, aimed at deepening the knowledge of participants and visitors about innovations, advanced technologies and sustainable solutions in the livestock sector.
During the exhibition, NPA showcased the Horizon Europe project AgriDataValue (ADV). ADV attracted significant interest at the NPA stand due to its cutting-edge nature, employing a multi-disciplinary and multi-actor approach to address complex challenges, including smart farming. Visitors were particularly curious about smart agriculture and the implementation of new technologies designed to reduce operational costs and achieve environmental goals. Lithuanian farmers are actively seeking opportunities to modernize their existing technologies and enhance their farms’ competitiveness. To achieve this, it is essential to understand how innovative technologies operate and to select the most suitable solutions and tools. However, the adoption of such technologies requires robust support mechanisms to accelerate modernization efforts.
