International Summer School 2024 - Climate-Friendly Agricultural Practices

The significance of greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture cannot be overlooked. Our upcoming summer school will center on exploring various strategies to mitigate these emissions on agricultural lands. Moreover, we have planned a field excursion where participants will have the opportunity to visit experimental fields in Rakičan and a state-of-the-art family farm in Noršinci. These visits will provide firsthand exposure to innovative and environmentally conscious agricultural practices aimed at curbing our carbon footprint.
