30 November 2018

The fourth Sino-German Agricultural Week took place in Beijing from 26 to 28 November 2018. With this year’s motto "Science & Technology Leading Green Development“, over forty speakers presented papers, drawn from theory and practice, on current innovations in the field of arable farming and animal husbandry. The aim of the event was to exchange experiences on the development of sustainable agriculture and to initiate a dialogue and specific co-operation between the over 120 Chinese and German participants from the fields of science, business and politics. Particular focus lay on the themes of digitalisation and agriculture 4.0. The event is an activity of the German-Sino Agricultural Centre (DCZ), an initiative of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs of the People’s Republic of China (MARA) and the German Federal Ministry of Food and Agriculture (BMEL). The German activities of the DCZ are undertaken by IAK Agrar Consulting and IAMO.
