The Exhibition for Agriculture and Livestock, Agrothessaly, is a regional exhibition organization with pan-Hellenic scope, which originates from the strategic cooperation of TIF-HELEXPO and the Municipality of Larissa.
Its aim is to promote the products of Greek and global agro-livestock production, to inform about all developments in new technologies and to create, in the most developed rural area of the country, an important networking point for domestic and international commercial contacts.
At the same time, it hosts interesting informative events on agricultural entrepreneurship, which are organized by primary sector bodies, but also by educational institutions – prominently the University of Thessaly – which attract the interest of professionals in the sector and the general public, both from the local and from the nationwide market.
Agrothessaly is a biannual event that operates in the covered market area of Larissa.

This session, which opens the three-day workshop programme, will highlight a new perspective on extensive livestock systems that embraces ‘uncertainty,’ challenges conventional policy ideas and introduces new thinking on livestock and climate change, biodiversity protection and pastoral development.
The opening talk will be presented by the principal investigator of PASTRES, Professor Ian Scoones, followed by four short presentations on key findings around the themes of Mobility and migration; Land and the environment; Markets and livelihoods; and Social protection and insurance. 4 high-level commentators (speakers tbc) will provide their input followed by an open discussion/Q and A.
In this session, presenters will highlight the policy and practice implications emerging from the discussions at the three-day workshop. These will be discussed by a panel of commentators from different regions of the world, and including policymakers, civil society representatives and experts. The final section of the session will be an opportunity for open discussion/Q and A. Details of speakers coming soon.
The fruitful collaboration between the Lebanese Agricultural Research Institute and the Faculty of Agriculture of the Lebanese University (LU) within the LIVINGAGRO Project led to the establishment of a field trial to assess the effect of soil management and different cover crops on soil characteristics, olive production and olive oil characteristics. The experiment was established in November 2020 at the Lebanese Agricultural Research Institute (LARI)-Abdeh station (Akkar, Lebanon).
The main objectives of this trial were:
The experiment consisted of five treatments and six replicates (trees):
Preliminary results showed an increase in soil mineral nitrogen and organic matter content only in the Faba beans (Vicia faba) and in the mixture Barley (Hordeum vulgare) + Vetch (Vicia sativa) treatments. In the spontaneous vegetation treatment just an increase in organic matter was observed. In case of broccoli treatment, only slight increase in organic matter was observed possibly due to the fact that the consumable part of the plants were harvested for human consumption and the remaining part was introduced to the soil because of its positive effect against Verticillium disease.
On the other hand, the experiment showed that farmers may increase their income through selling the additional crops such as fresh Faba beans and Broccoli. For instance, an average production of fresh Faba beans can reach about 10 000 Kg/ha sold at a price of 1USD/Kg when harvested at early spring (as in this region, these crops mature very early). Then, the remaining part of the plant should be introduced to the soil. As per broccoli, an average production of 20 000 kg/ha could be reached and sold at a price of 1 USD/kg.
In conclusion, the adoption of cover crops as a soil management practice can be considered as a good practice to improve the soil composition and increase its fertility, especially by increasing the percentage of organic matter and the amount of nitrogen. In addition, this practice can be considered as a feasible way to reach sustainability in many olive orchards on a long-term basis and to increase farmer’s income through the introduction of new crops in their orchards.

The third Agroecology Congress organised by the Italian Agroecology Association – AIDA, in collaboration with the Cambiamo Agricoltura Coalition, will take place in Rome.
The program is composed of two days of presentations and debates on the themes of European strategies in relation to agroecology and a one- day visit to an agroecological farm.
The Agroecology Europe Forum is a 3-day in-person event gathering people from all over Europe and beyond to meet in dialogue and discuss some of the most pressing issues and present solutions for today’s food systems.
By bringing together a variety of stakeholders from various movements and territories, we aim to create synergies that set an exemplary model for facilitating the transition to agroecology in Europe, while acknowledging the global reach of the movement. Local solutions supported by favorable policies, tailored to the diverse climatic, socio-economic and cultural realities of the European continent can bring about a more climate resilient, biodiverse Europe, with environmental and social justice at its heart.
By organising the next Agroecology Europe Forum in Hungary between 16-18th November 2023, we wish to draw the attention to the agroecological richness of the Central Eastern European region and create stronger alliances between the different actors involved in science, practice and movement.
