On December 10, 2024, at the University of Huelva, the HIDRONUT_SAT Operational Group (GO) “Application of high-resolution satellite images from the Copernicus program in the management of nutrition and irrigation in citrus crops” will present its objectives and progress during the ATTENTIA project Dissemination Day. This meeting will feature the researcher from the University of Huelva, Alberto Zabalo and Carlos Chacón, from the Department of Field – PRL – García Carrión 1.890 SL, members of the HIDRONUT Operational Group , to bring together objectives and advances deployed in this initiative. It should be noted that through this innovative initiative, the Andalusian citrus sector will have access to new digital tools to optimize water and nutrient management, and improve decision-making for the economic and environmental sustainability of producers and industry, improving traceability and transparency in transactions between the links in the production chain. GO HIDRONUT is formed by García Carrión 1890 and the Campus of International Excellence in Agro-Food Consortium (ceiA3) together with the research group ' Integrated management of agricultural and natural resources | AGR-227 ' of the University of Huelva, with the collaboration of the Association for Rural Development of Western Andévalo-Adrao. GO HIDRONUT is funded by European Agricultural Funds for Rural Development (EAFRD) and the Junta de Andalucía in the call for the Operation of Regional Operational Groups of the European Partnership for Innovation in Agricultural Productivity and Sustainability (EIP AGRI) of 2022

On the occasion of World Soil Day 2024: Take care of soils. Measure, monitor, manage. Speaker: Manuel López Vicente, Professor of the Department of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences. EPS Huesca In-person for students requesting credit recognition/ Online. Register here Collaborators: Official College of Agricultural Engineers Aragon-Navarra-Basque Country and the Territorial Delegation of Aragon of the Spanish Society of Soil Science (SECS) PROGRAM 13:00h Presentation by Dr. María Videgain, member of the governing board of the College, professor and researcher at the EPS of Huesca, University of Zaragoza. 13:05h Presentation of the DMS by Dr. David Badía Villas, professor of the Area of Soil Science and Agricultural Chemistry, at the EPS of Huesca, and President of the DT Aragón-SECS. 13:10h Talk by Dr. Manuel López Vicente, PPL at EPS Huesca entitled “Sustainable soil management in woody crops” . This talk presents the changes that living and inert covers generate in agricultural soils for permanent crops, such as olive groves and vineyards. Special emphasis is placed on the measurement and monitoring of the hydrological properties of the soil, complemented by aspects of soil fertility and biology; case results will be offered both for Aragon and other communities. With the data obtained, it is possible to achieve better agronomic management, which is essential for environmental sustainability, to optimize management, resources and to boost the profitability of farms. 14:00 h.

On October 29, the Demofarm technical conference will be held in Andalusia, focusing on "Digital transformation tools in citrus." The event will offer participants a practical overview of the latest technologies applied to citrus cultivation , with a guided tour of Finca Mogollón , where innovative monitoring and sensor solutions have been implemented to optimize water management and pest control. Digital tools for citrus cultivation Technologies to be presented include irrigation network monitoring, digital traps for the detection of Ceratitis Capitata , soil and plant sensors, and the use of satellite imaging platforms . The Demofarm Andalucía technical team, together with Tragsatec , will guide attendees throughout the day, explaining how these tools work and their benefits for more efficient management of farms. The day will end with an assessment of the implementation of these technologies by Daniel Esquivel, a technician at CRESCASA's Finca Mogollón, who will share his experience in the digitalization of citrus cultivation. This event is an excellent opportunity to learn first-hand about the new digital tools that are transforming the citrus sector. PROGRAM | REGISTRATION until October 28th.

New techniques, digitalisation and mechanisation of citrus production will be the central themes of this event, a benchmark in the citrus sector. The aim of the meeting is, among others, to diagnose the possible causes of the citrus crisis and the solutions that are on the horizon. This information and orientation day is subsidized by the program "AID FOR MULTI-REGIONAL TRAINING PROGRAMS AIMED AT PROFESSIONALS IN THE RURAL ENVIRONMENT. CALL 2024", financed by the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food (MAPA) and managed through the General Directorate of Rural Development, Innovation and Agri-Food Training.

Agroecological Meeting is a consolidated event of the country's agricultural and livestock sector that is attended by farmers, technicians, agricultural consultants, industries, cooperatives, marketers and companies that intervene in the agri-food chain. This eighth edition is focused on woody crops (olive, almond, citrus, pistachio, etc.) that are experiencing the proliferation of new plantations, the generalization of novel agroecological techniques and the rise of intensive models, aspects that show their dynamism. But there are also threats associated with the climate and lack of water , which reduce the competitiveness of traditional, less mechanized and automated farms. PROGRAM | REGISTRATION FORM

In recent years, a change has been taking place in the cultivation of nuts in Spain. The new intensive plantations provide precocity, total mechanization, continuous harvesting and high production. There is still room for improvement in the advancement of agronomic management of these plantations so that we opt for efficient and sustainable production models both economically and environmentally. The III Almond and Pistachio Forum aims to highlight this production model and transfer to the producer the most appropriate cultivation techniques to make a profitable and sustainable crop, in addition to addressing the possibilities offered by organic production.
