"Integration" and "ICT" are the today's key words when discussing the management of rural areas. Why? Single solutions as they are thousandfold in place constrain a sustainable development of agricultural management; but integrated solutions, resulting from cooperation, linking the production chain with affiliated industries/authorities will lead to a success in rural development and the management of natural resources and the environment. ICT becomes more and more crucial for best agro-management scenarios and for improving agricultural production and development. Both depends on high quality information which is the base for planning, controlling, business decision-making and for business success. High quality information has to be current, traceable, accurate, authentic and accessible for all players and has to be managed with ICT-technologies.
To these topics, there will be organized a seminar in Budapest from September 20th and 21st for a limited group of invited participants.
