SMART-CSA webinar 5.3.2026 klo 13.00-15.30
This webinar is in Finnish!
What does diversified small-scale farming need now?
The aim of the first phase of the SMART-CSA project is to strengthen national networks and, in particular, to gather accurate information from professionals working in diverse local agriculture and related fields about how the sector operates and what its future prospects and challenges are, so that the right things can be done in the next phases of the project and truly useful results can be achieved. The webinar is largely a workshop-type event to ensure that everyone's voice is heard. The webinar is on Zoom platform.
We invite everyone involved in diversified small-scale farming (community supported agriculture, urban farming, agricultural models such as pasture hens, agroforestry systems, permaculture, etc.) and those interested in them, as well as experts working in or related to the field, educators, researchers, entrepreneurs, project operators, students, and others interested in the subject. Come and join the discussion!
