AGRINOVA meeting highlights (26 March 2026): practical solutions, digital tools, and sustainability

On 26 March 2026, PAMEA hosted the second AGRINOVA Good Practices Exchange online meeting (10:00–13:00, Europe/Vienna). The session brought together partners and stakeholders for a practical exchange focused on real implementation experience and transferable approaches. 

In difference to the First Meeting, this second meeting featured 12 best practice presentations, each adding clear value through concrete examples, applied methods, and lessons learned. The topics covered a wide range of sustainable and smart farming solutions, including biostimulants, low-carbon approaches, intralogistics, precision seeding, soil conservation, differentiated nutrient application, drone-supported plant protection, digital technologies in livestock farming, social cooperation models, and AI applications in agriculture.

The session covered a strong mix of sustainable and smart farming applications, ranging from the benefits of bacterial biostimulants and a Czech low-label carbon initiative, to practical intralogistics and precision seeding, soil conservation and differentiated nutrient application, drone-supported plant protection, and digital technologies used in livestock farming; it also included social innovation through agricultural cooperatives, emerging AI applications in agriculture, and two recorded case studies focused on irrigation profitability and the shift from volume-based production to value-added products.

The good practices collected during this session will support AGRINOVA’s ongoing work on project outputs, including the development of guidance and training materials.

Thank you to all presenters and participants for the excellent preparation, active engagement, and meaningful contributions that made this meeting a success.
