On Monday, May 20, on the occasion of the 26th anniversary of the Polytechnic in Rijeka, the Mini-Symposium SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURE, GREEN TECHNOLOGIES AND RURAL TOURISM 2024 was held. The event was organized in partnership with the Center for Agriculture and Rural Development of PGŽ from Stara Sušica and Primorsko-goranska Kašetica to promote sustainable development in rural areas.
As one of the four invited lecturers, the lead of the NATURALLY project, Danijela Poljuha, presented the project results. Her lecture “Can invasive species be a source of valuable bioactive phytochemicals?” emphasized the importance of exploring the potential of invasive species as providers of ecosystem services. This approach could model the sustainable coexistence of species in the face of climate change.
The symposium offered valuable insights from various speakers, covering topics such as organic farming, recognizing certified organic products, the contributions of Rudolf Steiner, the principles of biodynamic production, and experiences from the Garden of Eden, or what life looks like when you “whisper to tomatoes” and follow your life dream. The audience engaged with numerous questions, making the event both informative and interactive.
From ❤️, we thank the Polytechnic in Rijeka for the invitation and the opportunity to grow in knowledge! Read more about this event here.
