The winning farmers of the Grazing4AgroEcology Project will be honored at Agraria 2025, during a workshop with the main topic “Are current subsidy measures adapted to the needs of grassland using farms?”

Our University, through the Faculty of Horticulture and Business in Rural Development – Department of Economics, as a partner of the Grazing4AgroEcology Project, organizes on 11 April 2025, between 12.00-14.00, the workshop entitled “Are current subsidy measures adapted to the needs of grazing farms? awarding the most innovative farmers using pastureland – winners of the G4AE competition”. The event will take place within the Agraria Fair, Jucu, Cluj County (DLG Tent).

The workshop is organized in the framework of the European project Grazing4AgroEcology (G4AE – https://grazing4agroecology.eu/), a project funded by Horizon 2020, an initiative that aims to promote sustainable agricultural practices and innovative grazing adapted to the current needs of farmers and the rural environment.

The event on 11 April will bring together farmers, researchers, agricultural input suppliers, policy makers, media representatives and consumers to discuss the effectiveness of current subsidy measures and to identify new opportunities and legislative proposals to support sustainable grazing in Romania.

In addition, the participants will have the opportunity to hear the success stories of competition winners “The most skillful farmer in the field of grazing!”, a contest launched last year by USAMV Cluj-Napoca, in partnership with UBM Feed Romania, the largest independent feed factory in the country located in Sânpaul (Mures county).
