CARINA Showcased at Agrokomplex 2025 in Nitra, Slovakia

From 3–7 September 2025, CARINA partner PEDAL Consulting presented the project at Agrokomplex, Slovakia’s largest agricultural exhibition, celebrating its 50th edition. With more than 92,000 visitors and over 500 exhibitors from nine countries, the fair provided a unique opportunity to connect with farmers, researchers, companies, and the general public.

In Pavilion M2, dedicated to research and innovation, PEDAL Consulting engaged visitors in discussions about European projects and their role in shaping the future of agriculture. CARINA was presented both at the stand and through a dedicated lecture, “Intelligent crops, stronger future – Discover carinata & camelina with the CARINA project.”

The presentation highlighted the key advantages of camelina and carinata:

  • Ability to grow on soils unsuitable for traditional crops
  • Potential as sources of oil for biofuels and biomaterials
  • Valuable co-products for animal feed
  • Positive effects on crop rotation practices

Visitors showed strong interest in the potential of these crops, leading to lively exchanges about their role in strengthening Slovak agriculture.

CARINA’s participation at Agrokomplex confirmed the growing awareness and enthusiasm for innovative, sustainable farming practices, and demonstrated the importance of connecting research with real opportunities for farmers and communities.
