The day with farmers combined practice, research and education

On Tuesday, November 11, 2025, a Day with farmers took place in Prague, a traditional meeting whose goal is to connect agricultural practice with research, innovation and education. The event was organized by the Department of Information Technologies PEF ČZU in Prague and Úhlava, o.p.s. in cooperation with the Czech Academy of Agricultural Sciences (ČAZV) and the Association of Private Farmers Pilsen. The meeting belonged not only to farmers, but also to experts from research institutions and other interested parties who are interested in current trends in agriculture.

The participants were welcomed at the beginning of the program by the vice-dean for innovation and technology transfer of the Faculty of Business and Economics and the director of the Food Pavilion (FAPPZ), who created an open and friendly atmosphere for discussion on current topics of Czech agriculture. The key idea of the entire event was already stated at the beginning: agriculture today stands on the border between traditional everyday practice and rapidly developing technologies that are fundamentally changing the form of production.

The aim of the meeting was to connect agricultural practice with research through professional research and education, present the latest results of agricultural research and create space for discussion of current trends and challenges in the field. Attention was paid in particular to precision agriculture, modern procedures in food industry and the possibilities of use of artificial intelligence in agricultural primary production.

In addition to expert lectures and presentations, the event also offered space for informal meetings of participants. Farmers had the opportunity to discuss their specific operational issues with researchers, establish collaborations and share experiences. Many appreciated the possibility of a personal meeting with colleagues from different regions and institutions.

The day with farmers once again confirmed that the connection between university research, the professional public and agricultural practice is of great importance. The event brought not only a lot of professional information, but also inspiration and motivation for the further development of Czech agriculture.

Thanks to everyone who participated in organizing the entire event.
