With this goal in mind, as Growtech, we are among the partners of the “Climate – Water – Agriculture” Meeting for a Sustainable Future, organized by Agro Business, and conducted jointly by AGRO TV and Boğaziçi University İklimBu. On November 22-25, we will be a platform where the most important issue in agriculture, Water, will be discussed with important international sessions, speakers and important names in the irrigation sector.”
Doğan Başaran, CEO of Agro TV Türkiye, emphasized that they aim to build bridges by combining the awareness of all parties of agriculture to ensure the continuity of the ecosystem in a self-renewing way for a sustainable life: “We have organized the ‘Climate – Water – Agriculture’ Summit for a Sustainable Future, the first step of the awareness project that we will create with events, reports and documentaries that will last until 2024. We will bring the whole sector together for our future in our event, which we aim to gather our entire geography from Mesopotamia to Konya Plain. We will also discuss the Water issue, which is the most important agenda item of agriculture, in an international framework hosted by Growtech.”
