Farming is considered by many to be a traditional activity, carried out by hand and managed according to the dictates of the Borda d'Água. But is that really the case? Or is it an activity guided by scientific knowledge and which shows leaps in quality, sustainability and productivity when science is applied judiciously in agricultural fields?
This is the theme of the debate, organized by InnovPlantProtect (InPP), which will take place on National Scientific Culture Day, November 24, at 6pm, in the InPP Auditorium, in Elvas, and which brings together a CEO, António Serrano, a scientist, Rosário Félix, a science communicator, Cristina Nobre Soares, and an agricultural producer, Paulo Maria, at the same table to answer the question: “Does agriculture need Scientific Culture?”.
The debate will be moderated by Pedro Fevereiro, executive director of InPP.
Participation is open to all interested parties, subject to prior registration here.

The initiative is part of Science and Technology Week 2022, promoted by Ciência Viva, which runs from November 19 to 27 and celebrates science and technology at national level, with the aim of bringing science closer to society and promoting scientific and technological culture in Portugal.
