The 17th edition of the International Fair for Animal Production ( FIGAN ) will take place from March 25 to 28, 2025 at the Feria de Zaragoza facilities. FIGAN aims to become the meeting point for the livestock sector in the Iberian Peninsula once again. At the last edition, 987 exhibiting companies presented the most outstanding technological innovations , in 77,083 m2 of surface area. Among the main attractions of FIGAN 2025: An outstanding selection of pure breeds Various competitions and exhibitions Genetics Health Feeding Equipment Aquaculture A prominent presence of the equine sector

Next Tuesday, March 25, at 11:00 a.m., the PROVACUNO stand at FIGAN (Hall 6, Stand CD 31-36) will host the presentation of the SECUESVAC Operational Group , an innovative project focused on optimizing carbon sequestration in agricultural soils associated with beef production in Spain. Javier López, director of PROVACUNO , the entity representing the project, will be in charge of explaining the objectives and progress of SECUESVAC, which seeks not only to contribute to climate neutrality by 2050, but also to preserve the rural environment where beef production takes place. The SECUESVAC Operational Group is 100% funded by the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development (EAFRD) and the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, within the framework of the National Strategic Plan for the CAP (PEPAC) 2023-2027. The project's total investment amounts to €548,889.40, and the Directorate-General for Rural Development, Innovation and Agri-Food Training (DGDRIFA) is the managing authority for the aid. It is recommended to confirm attendance to facilitate the organization of the event.

The 20th World Bioenergy Congress & Exhibition will be held from 16 to 17 June 2025 in Frankfurt and is already preparing the participation of its speakers and experts. Bioenergy 2025 is comprised of keynote sessions and presentations by renowned speakers on the latest cutting-edge research in bioenergy. The aim is to provide comprehensive global discussions that address current challenges in the sector and showcase the solutions that are being adopted. Among other topics, Bioenergy 2025 will address: The diverse applications of bioenergy, as biomass is increasingly used for modern applications such as wood power, cogeneration and combined heat and power (CHP), are expected by experts to become the dominant form of renewable energy. Biogas. The impact of solar energy and wind energy on agricultural production. Advances in renewable chemicals. Green chemistry and green revolution. Sustainable energy for rural areas. Rural areas would need ready supplies of electricity generated from renewable sources. Sustainable energy and economy. Bioenergetic transition. Bioenergy Processes. Bioenergy technology faces challenges in terms of technological support, economics and knowledge. Biodiesel and Biofuels, and their limits without harming food supply and biodiversity. Advanced biofuels can help solve these complications. Waste to energy (WtE). Bioenergy will also include an Entrepreneurial Investment Summit to connect global proponents and investors in the field of biofuels, biomass, biogas, bioenergy and renewable energy and their related sciences to boost promising businesses.

The Symposium will take place at the Lleida Conference Centre “La Llotja”, located on the right bank of the Segre River, near La Mitjana Park, from 1 to 4 JULY 2025. New developments in weed science are geared towards achieving a balance between crop production and sustainability. In this regard, scientific research on weeds at European level is based on the EU Common Agricultural Policy and increasingly focuses on integrating new tools, methods and strategies to improve weed management. This situation could be defined by the motto of the congress: Joint approaches for sustainable weed management.
