The European Network of Agricultural Journalists ENAJ and the Horizon Project EUFarmBook are pleased to welcome journalists to Bonn, Germany in September. The press event will be hosted by the Faculty of Agricultural, Nutritional and Engineering Sciences
at the University of Bonn.
The topic of this year’s ENAJ/EU-FarmBook Press event is “Transfer of Innovation into Agricultural Practice”. Journalists will learn about ground breaking research and the transfer of innovation to farms.
Embedded within the Faculty of Agricultural, Nutritional and Engineering Sciences at the University of Bonn, PhenoRob is Germany’s only Cluster of Excellence in the field of Agriculture 4.0. Phenorob is internationally visible as a centre of excellent research in robotics and phenotyping for sustainable crop production. It has delivered significant contributions toward sustainable agriculture – also through the successful spin-off of start-up companies.
Four visits to family owned farms are included in the program. The region is known for its diverse agriculture, which is based on dairy farming in the hilly region of “Bergisches Land” and on fruit and vegetable production and arable farming in the South of North Rhine-Westphalia. The journalists will meet farmers, who have successfully implemented innovations on their farms and who participate in research programs like Agri photovoltaics in orchards and strategies for climate resilience like planting Miscanthus to protect land and infrastructure against floods.
Deadline to register: 31 July 2025
