The sixth conference of Agronomic, Food and Zootechnical Engineering, the College of Agricultural Engineering - North welcomes Agostinho Carvalho who will speak to us about the development of small and medium family farming.

What measures can be taken, immediately and in the long term, to safeguard small and medium-sized agriculture, family farming, and with it the rural world, local production, food security and sovereignty?

Is small and medium-sized agriculture essentially a political and ideological issue?

The College of Agricultural Engineering of the Order of Engineers of the North Region (OERN) organizes during the month of July a cycle of conferences totally dedicated to Agricultural, Food and Zootechnical Engineering. These conferences focus mainly on the role of agriculture and livestock in the current context of the country and the European Union and also on supply chains.
