It has been an honor to participate in the 12th Regional Conference that took place at the city of Patras. I was engaged as a speaker in a session focused on the importance of the water resources’ management for a sustainable food production. It offered a platform for discussion on policies concerning the innovated agriculture, practices that promote the sustainability on the field and the challenges met by the farmers regarding the availability and the quality of the water.
