| Zusammenfassung |
| The 4th World Congress of Agronomists and Professionals in Agronomy was held in Madrid
between 28th and 31st October 2008 with the motto: “The Agronomist as technical and
scientific nexus for conserving the Environment on the basis of rural development and food
demand”. The Congress was organised by the Spanish Association of Agronomists, the
General Council of Spanish Agronomist Associations and the World Association of
Agronomists, in collaboration with the Spanish Ministry of the Environment and Rural and
Marine Affairs, and with the support of numerous institutions and national and international
companies. The objective was to analyse and discuss the achievement of food security in a
context of environmental sustainability, rural development and a shortage of water and
energy, as well as the role played by agronomists and other agronomy professionals, both
now and in the future all over the world. The papers dealt with numerous aspects of the
Agronomy profession related to food security, sustainability and rural development, with
specific analyses relating to education and the professional role in the different fields in the
actual changing context. As was to be expected in a field of activity as broad as
that in which Agronomists and other Agronomy professionals work, the papers
and presentations covered a very wide range of topics. The main conclusion was
that Agricultural Engineers and other Agronomy professionals have played a very
important role in the development of agriculture and agroindustry, after analysed all
the successful achievements, for that reason the main recommendation was that
Professional Associations and the educational Institutions must ensure the continuous
capacity, professionalism and commitment of their members as a guarantee for the
society. |
