Technical tour

Date: 20 July, 2021 (Tuesday)  8:00 – 16:00

Participants will gain insight into precision agriculture technology solutions adopted and applied on the field through the example of a large Hungarian farming company, KEVE Zrt. The venue of the technical tour is in the outskirts of Baracska, near Budapest, where the technologies of the hosting company are presented through various stations, each with its own specific topic following the progress of vegetation. 

The last station, the “data processing”, will take place in the palace of Martonvásár.

Martonvásár is noted for the Brunsvik palace and the beautiful „English Garden”. This town is the centre of the Hungarian Beethoven cult, with the Beethoven Memorial Museum. The park is also the scene of the Centre for Agricultural Research of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, one of the centres of the European agricultural innovations.
