• Session I: “Modern agriculture and rural development (including landscape planning)”
• Session II: “Renewable resources – possibilities and constraints (including forests and biotechnology)”
• Session III: “Sustainable food systems and quality”
• Session IV: “Environmental safety and climate change”
• Session V: “Agricultural engineering” (in cooperation with ATAE, implementing a new partnership into the CASEE conferences)
• Poster Session
• “Experimental Farm Network (EFNet) Workshop”

Chair: Prof. Dr hab. Marek Szyndel

There were two “Poster sessions” at the 8^th CASEE Conference One o Monday, May 15^th, 16:00-18.00 in Cristal Hall first floor building 9 and the second on Tuesday May 16^th, between 10:30-11.00. During the two days altogether 27 presentations were held (including a 5-minutes poster presentation done by Prof. Peter Cepuder from BOKU concerning BOKU’s “Lysimeter Research Group”). Presenters came from 10 countries: Romania, Croatia, Albania, France, Italy, Estonia, Switzerland, Pakistan and Austria. There were general rules for the presentation: 5 minutes for each poster presentation: 3 minutes talk and 2 minutes discussion.

SUMMARY

1^st session: MODERN AGRICULTURE AND REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT – 2+1 posters

2^nd session: RENEWABLE ENERGY - POSSIBILITIES AND CONSTRAINTS - 1 poster

3^rd session:  SUSTAINABLE FOOD SYSTEMS AND QUALITY - 19 posters

4^th session: ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY AND CLIMATE CHANGE - 2 posters

5^th session: AGRICULTURAL ENGINEERING (ATAE) - 2 posters

The presented range of subjects was very wide. We started with genetic analysis of genes and finished with using satellite for the delineation of the forest management units. There were presented many aspects of food production, human and animal health and nutrition, general plant production with specific horticultural technologies, organic production, plant protection including plant virology and entomology as well as mathematical models for the technological procedures etc.. During the sessions we had a lot of visitors not just authors of posters. All presenters had very good command of English and presentation skills. It can be summarized, that the sessions were very successful.
