On March 24, Jair Maggioni, Coordinator of Good Agricultural Practices at Corteva, will highlight the actions of Good Practice and Application Technology that the company has been carrying out in the state of Rio Grande do Sul through a lecture scheduled for 9 am . At Corteva's stand there will be activations of projects in the area of ​​Good Agricultural Practices, such as the model representation of the “Agriculture for Life Expedition”, as well as other news and interactions.

The “Expedição da Agricultura para a Vida” is a program with a traveling truck that trains agribusiness professionals throughout Brazil, through interactive platforms and in an innovative way, to promote more knowledge about productive, responsible and sustainable agriculture.

“Corteva’s actions at the event reinforce that Good Agricultural Practices contribute to both the productivity and sustainability of agribusiness. Participating in Sintag is an opportunity to debate the evolution of innovations in the area of ​​application technology”, says Maggioni.
