Challenge vision

The main challenge is how to develop sustainable innovative technologies in agricultural production systems in Zajecar so that they meet the specific needs of different categories of producers, small families of farmers, rural households and their organizations? In Serbia, women farmers produce 20-30% less than their men. The main challenge is the empowerment of women and their families through entrepreneurship and farming.

By 2021, it is envisaged that the EU digital agricultural market is spending up to 9.2 billion euros. This growth includes the value of software, algorithms, platforms, and links between agricultural and technological hardware. Digitalization of applications, processes, and technologies gives the sector the ability to become more efficient and productive. The challenge is related to the GIS mapping of agricultural land where can be built several smaller solar parks. The development of clusters for organic farming and the construction of several smaller solar parks located in the south-eastern part of the Municipality of Zajecar would enable the city to make better use of sustainable solar energy connected to better agricultural production.
