Buenos Aires | The V National Silvopastoral Congress
It will be held in October and until August 15 is the deadline for the presentation of works
The V National Silvopastoral Congress will be held at the headquarters of the Faculty of Agronomy of the University of Buenos Aires (UBA) in the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires (CABA) on Monday 16 and Tuesday 17 October 2023. It is organized by INTA through the National Forestry Program coordinated by Dr. Pablo Peri, in conjunction with the EEA Delta and the Faculty of Agronomy of the UBA.
The new edition of the National Silvopastoral Congress organized by INTA, like previous editions, "will serve to exchange knowledge, experiences, reflect and debate. In this way, progress more efficiently as a team and in a network to be able to bring solutions to the different sectors of both production and public decision makers”, they indicate on the official site.
“For many years, INTA visualized Silvopastoral Systems (SSP) due to their importance and productive, social and environmental complexity. From his projects he began to generate knowledge and technology in order to understand and improve them. They were years of many advances and efforts that were compensated with the advancement of policies that support the activity, based on knowledge”, they explain from the Organizing Commission.
From INTA, knowledge about the SSP with implanted species was promoted, and with increasing force, work is being done to achieve a sustainable use of native forests that traditionally include livestock production.
The deadline for sending the works is until next August 15.
