Already after entering the area and at the first look at the full exhibition area, it was clear that this year’s Země zhivitelka agrosalon will be interesting. From the visitors moving in the aisles and from the exhibitors’ stands, you can feel the anticipation and joy of the opportunity to meet again after a year. No wonder. The expositions of the individual exhibitors are full of the most modern technology, from tractors and combine harvesters, through small mechanization to robotic solutions for precision agriculture. In short, farmers, the lay public, children, fathers, and adults will all get their way.
One of the biggest attractions are the expositions of manufacturers / sellers with news from the field of agricultural technology. For example, new models of tractors with higher performance and lower fuel consumption, which are designed to meet increasingly strict emission standards, were presented at the stands. It is also aimed at those interested in precision agriculture, which enables yield optimization and cost reduction thanks to the use of advanced technologies such as GPS, drones or sensors for soil monitoring.
Innovation in the food industry and sustainability
In addition to agricultural technology, innovations in the food industry also play an important role at the Země živitetelka agrosalon. Stalls from mainly local producers offer a wide range of food, from traditional regional products to modern and healthier alternatives. Here it is possible to taste new types of dairy products, organically grown vegetables or alternative sources of protein.

In the accompanying workshops and lectures, experts address not only the aforementioned issues of sustainability, but also the future of Czech agriculture in the context of European policies and global changes. Discussions about the development of agriculture in the context of climate change, for example, attract great interest, where they talk about the need to adapt agricultural practices and use innovative technologies to ensure food security.
