Here are the materials generated by the event:
Ovidiu Bucătaru – We turned to the basic production area and took a step from the big crop to the vegetable crop.
Vlad Stamatin – We have started to invest a lot in technology. This year alone we have purchases of over 3 million euros.
Florin Tanasă – I believe that a young farmer must be passionate, persevering and have a minimum knowledge of phytotechnics and agrotechnics.
Ionuț Păcuraru – It is painful that in Romania there is no more research, the climate has changed, the technologies have changed, many of the information we know can no longer be applied, the farmer is on his own, and technologist and researcher.
Ionuț Angheluță – In vain we have modern technologies, state-of-the-art equipment, the best fertilizers, if we do not have a water source.
Viorel Băeșu – In Moldova the farmer receives less attention from the state and there are many restrictions.
