With the theme “Generations of Agro”, seeking to spread family succession in agribusiness and reach an audience of new rural producers, Tecnoshow Comigo reaches its 22nd edition. The event, which will be held from April 7 to 11 at the Comigo Technology Center, in Rio Verde (GO), was launched today (19) during a press conference and will have the goal of zeroing its carbon emissions.
According to Claudio Teoro, Comigo’s director of inputs and general coordinator of Tecnoshow, sustainability will be one of the main highlights of the event. “In partnership with Eccaplan, the cooperative will neutralize the carbon emissions from the event’s structuring, ensuring the Neutral Event Seal, offsetting them with carbon credits,” he said. In addition, visitors will also be allowed to calculate their carbon footprint through interactive totems and QR Codes at the fair.
In addition to this action, the fair also expects that the selective collection of waste generated will reach 100 tons. Of this total, 70% will be recycled by Coop-Recicla, while the remaining 30% will be sent to the landfill. “The fair will also have stands in collaboration with the Paranaíba and Rio dos Bois River Basin Committee, which will guide rural producers on the sustainable use of water resources; in addition to the Goiás State Secretariat for the Environment and Sustainable Development (Semad-GO), which will provide information on environmental licensing, water use permits and environmental regulations,” explained the coordinator, also highlighting the distribution of more than 20 thousand native tree seedlings.
This commitment to sustainability, as highlighted by Comigo's CEO, Dourivan Cruvinel, reflects the cooperative's routine. "Tecnoshow is a showcase to showcase the work carried out throughout the year. We have dedicated ourselves a lot, especially this year, when we celebrate 50 years, which inspired the theme 'Generations of agriculture', highlighting the importance of the different generations that make up this essential sector for the country", he celebrated.
