• EIP Operational group project “New technologies and economically viable solutions for producing local feed for pig production: cultivation of non-genetically modified soybeans and new barley varieties in Latvia” (Short: Vietējā proteīna barības ražošana). An excellent case demonstrating interactive innovation and co-creation.
• Visit the Training and demonstration center “Lielozoli” – aimed at creating an environment for transferring knowledge about sustainable farming, innovations, circular economics, and bout general topics of agriculture, mežsaimniecības, and fishery. The main target groups of Lielozoli are children, studentiem, families, and those who want to live and develop in rural areas.
