About
The Slovak University of Agriculture in Nitra, together with the civic association Druživa, under the auspices of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development of the Slovak Republic and with the support of the OECD and the Active Citizens Fund Slovakia, are organising the 6th edition of the international scientific conference “Agriculture as an Actor of Social Inclusion” (AGASI). The event will also include a discussion on the opportunities for developing social agriculture in Slovakia, which shows that open dialogue between stakeholders brings tangible progress.
The organisers built on this positive experience in the previous editions of the event as well, with the involvement of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development of the Slovak Republic and the Development Agency of the Banská Bystrica Self-Governing Region.
This year the 6th edition of the event is being prepared, and it will once again serve as a platform for experts and actors from a range of fields.
