Free event promoted by Senar-RS will discuss strategies to boost agriculture in Rio Grande do Sul in a sustainable way.
Transforming agricultural land into a continuous source of production and income 365 days a year is the central objective of the Two Harvests Seminar: More Production All Year Round – Northwest Stage, which will be held on September 25th in Ijuí. The meeting will take place at the CTG Farroupilha and is part of the Two Harvests Program, promoted by the National Rural Learning Service (Senar-RS) in partnership with Farsul and other sector entities. The proposal is to discuss technical and economic alternatives to intensify agricultural production in Rio Grande do Sul.
The initiative seeks to revolutionize the state's production matrix, encouraging the intelligent and sustainable use of agricultural areas in both summer and winter. In addition to increasing the productivity and profitability of rural producers, the proposal contributes to the growth of Rio Grande do Sul's GDP and brings social and economic benefits to the entire population. Registration for the seminar is free and must be done on the website https://www.senar-rs.com.br/eventos/seminario-duas-safras-ijui.
The seminar will bring together producers, technicians, researchers, students, and agribusiness leaders to discuss topics such as the viability of multiple cropping, climate risk management, soybean farming practices, the agricultural credit market, weed control, and winter forage crops. According to the superintendent of Senar-RS, Eduardo Condorelli, the initiative reaches one of the most dynamic regions of Rio Grande do Sul's agribusiness, driven by the combination of large-scale grain production with a strong animal protein chain and agricultural implement industries. Condorelli adds that the goal is to bring even more innovation, management techniques, and management practices to local producers. "We want to show that, with planning and technology, we can exploit the maximum potential of the land all year round, generating more income within the property and strengthening the entire regional economy," he emphasizes.
The event is promoted by the Two Harvests Program, carried out by Farsul, Senar-RS, Embrapa, ABPA, Federarroz, Asgav, Acergs, Aprosoja-RS, Apassul, Sips, FecoAgro-RS, Sindag, Ocergs and ACSURS, with sponsorship from Sicoob and Be8 Agro.
