Description
On November 11, 2025 , the Coruña municipality of Ames will host the second edition of the LAKTIS project's mid-term conference. This initiative promotes the calculation, analysis, and reduction of the carbon footprint of dairy farms, fostering a more sustainable production model aligned with the climate challenges of the agricultural and livestock sector.
The hybrid session (in-person and online) will offer an open discussion space where farmers, technicians, researchers, students, and other stakeholders in the dairy sector will share perspectives on the initial calculations and the mitigation strategies proposed by the project's technical team.
The day will begin at 10:30 a.m. with a welcome reception and coffee , followed by the presentation of the LAKTIS project (11:00 a.m.) by the MEDRAR Innovation Office , which will outline the methodological approach and progress made to date in measuring the carbon footprint on farms.
At 11:30 a.m., a round table will be held with the participation of specialists from AGACA , the University of Santiago de Compostela , ODOS , Gregorio Salcedo and Solid Forest , who will present the initial results obtained and mitigation proposals adapted to the Galician productive context.
The participating farmers will then assess the most effective measures in a brief ranking of mitigation strategies (1:30 p.m.), before enjoying a break for a snack and networking (1:35 p.m.).
During the afternoon session, a participatory work dynamic will be carried out (2:30 p.m.) aimed at prioritizing the most viable and profitable measures, and at 3:30 p.m. real success stories of emissions mitigation will be presented, led by the entities ENTOMO Agroindustrial, Pentabiol and Innogando , who will share their experience in innovation and sustainability in the sector.
The day will conclude with a visit to a CLUN farm (4:15 p.m.) and a conclusions session (6:30 p.m.) coordinated by the MEDRAR Innovation Office team.
This second edition reaffirms the LAKTIS project's commitment to climate action in the dairy sector , promoting collaboration between science, business, and agriculture to advance low-carbon production that is more resilient to climate change.
