AgroWeb South Eastern Europe,
as part of the AgroWeb
Network is an interactive portal for agriculture
information and knowledge sharing on rural and agricultural
development and integration to the world agricultural
community.
AgroWeb SEE portal aims to link people and organizations
within the SEE region with international organizations
to promote mutual exchange of information and generate,
share and use agriculture-related expertise. We also
promote expansion of Internet services in support of
rural and agricultural development.
We are working for different types of stakeholder. Primary
stakeholders include farmers and other participants
in projects and programmes. Secondary stakeholders include
local governance institutions, extension services, NGOs,
and private sector organizations. Tertiary stakeholders
include national-level development agencies, national
NGOs, policy makers, decision makers and international
donor agencies.

the art and practice solutions, standards and communication
channels of knowledge management. FAO initiatives and

Farm advisory services -
the topic of 2006 and of our this year’s conference - as
part of an integrated rural area solution
The International
PROGIS-Conference
2006 will take place on April 19 - 20 in
Vienna.
The event explores
background, legislation, needs and technologies for farm
advisory systems, as they are necessary to comply with the
new situations like commitments regarding Cross Compliance,
documentation needs to ensure food- and feed-traceability,
to calculate, to map etc. The set up of public or private
farm advisory services (FAS) is
binding from 2007. Few states have already installed
systems, but most of the member states are still evaluating
how to manage them best. FAS are on one side a challenge for
national ministries, on the other side an excellent chance
for agri-entrepreneurs picking up this new business segment
…… perhaps suitable to your activities? There are further
“winners” of this regulation. The farmers, who will get
grants for claiming FAS – that means qualified advise (if
advisors have an excellent technology) for low money. PROGIS
will present its
integrated AGROffice-technology as it is
applicable to any of the mentioned fields of business
activity. AGROffice comprises next to mentioned tasks,
issues like economy, ecology, logistics, precise - and
virtuell farming, forestry etc. Many of them “global
issues”, that’s why our partners from Germany, UK &
Ireland, Slovakia, Spain, Bosnia & Herzegovina will present
their excellent successes in their countries with PROGIS
technologies as well as experts from throughout EU will
present their views to the mentioned topics. You as a
participant will profit of all these views. Join us in
Vienna – the prel. program is online and the registration is
open at:
http://www.progis.com/event/conf2006/progis_konf/index.htm
This event will help also players in global markets like the
industries food/feed, agro machines, fertilizer and
herbicides, seeds etc. to prosper based on new technologies!
