EFITA 2015
29 June 2015 - 2 July 2015
POZNAN (Poland)


EFITA 2015: Sustainable Agriculture through ICT innovation

It is a great pleasure to invite you to attend EFITA/WCCA/CIGR 2015 Conference which will take place in Poznan, Poland from June 29 to July 2, 2015.
EFITA/WCCA/CIGR 2015 is a joint conference of three associations: European Federation for Information Technology in Agriculture, Food and the Environment (EFITA), International Network for Information Technology in Agriculture – World Congress on Computers in Agriculture (INFITA – WCCA) and International Commission of Agricultural and Biosystems Engineering – Technical Section VII: Information Technology (CIGR VII). All these associations deal with the use of ICT in the agri-food, bioresource and biomass sectors. These, and not only, will also be the leading topics during the conference sessions. 

We hope that the Polish hospitality will make this conference truly memorable, including social and networking activities that are aimed at forging collaboration and exploring ideas through multidisciplinary approaches. It is important that professionals meet up on a regular basis to interact, network and exchange ideas and knowledge. It is only by sharing ideas that we develop new ones that catalyze technological advancement.

Hoping to see you all in Poznan,

Applications mobiles : tablettes et smartphones écrivent le futur de la vigne et du vin
« Aujourd'hui, il n'y a pas un outil d'aide à la décision en viticulture qui ne soit décliné en version mobile » constate Gilles Brianceau (animateur du cluster Inno'Vin), qui souligne pourtant le faible taux d'engagement des professionnels dans les applications développées pour smartphones et tablettes.

A reasonable decision…

I made a decision to disconnect my home alarm system and to de-register from the Neighborhood Watch.

I bought a Pakistani and Taliban flags, raised them in the front yard, one at each corner, and the black flag of ISIS in the center. The local police, sheriff, FBI, CIA, NSA, Homeland Security, Secret Service and other agencies are all watching the house 24/7.

I've never felt safer and I'm saving $149.95 a month.
