What actually is Agrobiznis?
They write about farms, beekeepers, stock breeders, winemakers and all others who process and produce a variety of food and drinks of Slovenian origin. They discover small providers with potential, entrepreneurial skills, enough perseverance and a strong desire to reach the summit in their niche market, to expand production and to make a name for their product. They also draw attention to innovative teams or businesses that have an idea of a new food production technology or a new business model that could lead to greater self-sufficiency.
Agrobiznis is a project of the Finance newspaper to promote entrepreneurship and innovation in the field of food self-sufficiency.
The project aims, in particular, at promoting sustainable development - towards environmentally friendly production, sales and consumption in the local environment, where there are fewer costs with logistics, and in particular less negative environmental and human health impacts, which are thus eating fresh and local food.
This year's conference will focus on the common agricultural policy, modern technology and its impact on agricultural decision-making, the challenges faced by young family farmers, the key steps in succession, and will also listen to successful entrepreneurial stories in agriculture from Austria.
