The food industry faces the challenge of environmental sustainability, a key factor in ensuring its profitability over time. To achieve a neutral balance of emissions, it is necessary to reduce the carbon footprint of food from the field to the table. In this sense, the implementation of sustainable agricultural management measures is essential for the food industry.

We invite you to to participate in the event: "Technological challenges of sustainable agricultural management to reduce the carbon footprint of the food industry."The event, where representatives of the food industry, agricultural production and research centers will discuss the R&D&I challenges to be addressed by agricultural production in order to contribute to the reduction of the food industry's carbon footprint.

The day will promote the active participation of attendees in various working groups, allowing dialogue between companies in the sector and researchers from the Andalusian research centers of the CSIC.
