The occasion of the visit of Sony Purdue is the meeting of the G20 agriculture ministers who discussed between today and tomorrow (27 and 28 July 2018) with respect to the integral management and responsible land, the reduction of food waste and the role of technology in the agricultural sector. With the objective to meet the growing food demand in a sustainable manner, the heads of the delegations will seek to define a course agreed to their policies since the member countries of the G20 represent 60% of the world's agricultural land and are responsible for nearly 80% of the trade of food and agricultural products.
