The story of the exchange.

The seminar brought together association representatives, university specialists and Greek businesses, with CONAFER Brazil participating as special guests. It followed the Cyprus forum as a distinct technical exchange in Athens.

Scientific contributions addressed crop systems, climate-related land salinization, olive cultivation and research on extra-virgin olive-oil polyphenols. Discussion also considered technological innovation and the future development of agricultural cooperatives.

The enterprise exchanges connected these research topics with farming, forestry, processing and international trade. The photographs record the university programme and its speakers, rather than another edition of the Global Farmers Forum.
