The national scientific conference with international participation on the topic "sustainable agriculture - science and practice" is also eagerly anticipated.

The Festival of Fertility has a competitive nature, with awards for the best and most attractive presentation by the participants, thereby encouraging producers. The most beautifully arranged stands will be evaluated and awarded by a special jury, and there will also be prizes for the largest apple and the most attractive fruits and vegetables.
