Also this year on the occasion of Cremona International Livestock Exhibitions 2023, the institution “Comizio Agrario di Cremona – Ente Eredità Girolamo Beltrami” and CremonaFiere will promote the Prize “Targa Beltrami” (now at its 25th edition).
The prize “Targa Beltrami” aims at recognizing and awarding companies and researchers of the agrifood industry standing out for innovative machinery, processing methods and procedures.
Aim of the prize “Targa Beltrami” is that of promoting a culture of innovation, thus raising awareness on the fact that innovation means efficiency enhancement both in terms of products and procedures, and that it contributes to a greater environmental sustainability.
The category are:
- Precision farming intended as powerful tool for crop management, aimed at considering space and time variables related to parameters such as soil composition, humidity, nutrient availability, pathogen and weeds presence through information and communications technologies.
- Precision breeding intended as smart use of technologies to monitor physiological, behavioural, production and reproductive indicators on single heads of cattle, with the aim of improving management strategies, animal performance and their sustainability.
- Milk processing intended as milk processing and cheese making within agricultural farms and/or small dairies downstream of raw material production.
- Energy efficiency in agriculture and livestock farming intended as implementation of innovative procedures and technologies to build renewable energy plants or for maintenance and upgrading of existing plants (also in terms of efficient use of agricultural products for energy and biomethan production).
The prize «Targa Beltrami» addresses companies of the agrifood industry, entrepreneurs, researchers, start-ups and institutions that developed innovative projects, products or processing methods
After the evaluation of the scientific Committee, prizes will be given during Cremona International Livestock Exhibitions
