Present were leaders from the Ministry of Agriculture, officials from municipalities, farmers cultivating vegetables and small trees.

This event has served the farmers and participants from municipal and government institutions, to observe the effects the positive aspects that the digitalization of agriculture has in easing the work of farmers, then on the optimal growth and development of plants and also on reducing damage to agriculture through appropriate measures to address climate change.
