We keep arable farmers up to date on the latest technology and support them in using state-of-the-art equipment and processes to increase the productivity and sustainability of their farms.
We analyse innovative technological approaches for optimising agricultural practices and increasing yields. We promote the exchange of knowledge and experience in order to develop sustainable solutions to the challenges of crop production. Our goal is to improve the efficiency, quality and environmental compatibility of agricultural processes through technical innovations.
The DLG Committee for Technology in Crop Production
