March Member Meeting Preview

By José Alexandre F. Loyola, Regional Director

As the growing season is wrapping up here in Brazil, I am preparing to conduct our first in-person members meeting of 2025. The meeting will be held on 10 March at Embrapa Territorial in Campanas, SP. We will discuss, plan, and validate the main regional actions we will focus on in 2025. This includes existing and new projects, new member acquisition, events, and marketing actions. We will also take in a presentation about Embrapa Territorial's solutions. For more information on the meeting, reach out to me via email.

Last month, I was able to participate in a virtual meeting with Embrapa, the Brazil Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock, and Food Supply (MAPA), and the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) to discuss how AgGateway can collaborate with an initiative these organizations are promoting. They are working to create a platform for integrating and standardizing data on agricultural machinery, using as a reference a model that was implemented in Japan.
