Forests are becoming smarter. With the help of digital technologies, we can now monitor forest health, assess sustainability, and make better management decisions faster and more accurately than ever before. To bring these innovations closer to practice, the GFarm project is organising an interactive field demonstration and networking event on 30 October in Rozalimas Forest, Pakruojis.
Co-organised by AgriFood Lithuania, Beta via, and Melda, the event will gather forestry professionals, researchers, and technology developers to explore how digital tools can support sustainable forest management and strengthen the green transition.
Throughout the day, participants will have the opportunity to see innovative digital solutions in action and discuss how technology can make forestry more data-driven, efficient, and environmentally responsible.
