The role of agriculture in the biodiversity of the Arctic - 6.-8. October

The ninth international conference of the Association for Agriculture in the Arctic (Circumpolar Agricultural Conference) will be held in Iceland at Hótel Söga 6.-8. October 2016.

The conference will focus on regional production that strengthens dispersed settlements, food production in the Arctic, tourism and innovation that responds to changing circumstances. Special emphasis will be placed on promoting good results that have been achieved in one area and that others can benefit from. A food exhibition organized by the final conference of the NordBio program will be included.

You can register on the conference website, www.caa2016.com. The conference fee is ISK 35,200.

On October 8, there will be a sightseeing tour of the agricultural district with a cultural twist where visitors will get to know Icelandic agriculture.
