Agrilevante: A Focus on Vocational Training in Africa

The Bari exhibition lives up to its promise of acting as a beacon for Mediterranean agriculture. Record attendance with over 100,000 visitors. Cutting-edge technologies make for a qualitative leap in the area's typical products.

The section specializing in machinery and equipment for green maintenance made its successful debut at Agrilevante. Seventy Italian and international exhibitors occupied a total area of over 3,000 square meters, including the demo area outside the pavilions. Maintaining urban greenery is increasingly crucial for the well-being of urban centers and for combating the effects of climate change. Emerging markets

Agrilevante is known for its numerous awareness-raising and information initiatives regarding workplace safety, with particular reference to the use of agricultural machinery. The Apulia Region and the Local Health Authorities of Bari and Taranto, as well as INAIL, have been particularly active, while specific initiatives have been aimed at young people. The experience of a tractor overturning is very instructive, made possible thanks to a simulator that reproduces the driver's cabin and the physical movement of the mechanical vehicle in the event of an accident.

The circular economy offers a response to the many challenges facing Mediterranean agriculture. During the Bari event, ITABIA events highlighted some good practices that can improve the resilience and sustainability of agricultural activities in the basin, with a particular focus on renewable energy. Field trials were held in the bioenergy area.
