The conference “Agricultural Economics to support farming” is the annual forum organized by the Institute of Agricultural Economics – Sofia, which is in the auspice of Agricultural Academy. The conference started as an international scientific and applied event since 2014 and the main purpose is to get together the researchers, experts, professional and branch specialists in the field of agriculture, commodity markets, policy-making, and rural areas. The conference provides opportunities of invited speakers, lecturers, panelists and all other experts to share their studies, insights and judgements about development of Bulgarian and world agriculture and sheds lights on the actual issues, including the topics of agricultural policy.

In 2024, the conference is dedicated on the particular topic “Sustainable Agriculture and Rural Areas in the Context of Climate Change“, which will be conducted with the associated partnership of the European Rural Development Network (ERDN) and Shanghai Jiao Tong University (SJTU). The accent of the conference will be important topics related to the economic and social impact of climate changes and global initiatives for mitigating the pressure on the environment by the agricultural production. A pre-topic research book will be presented themed on the competitiveness of agriculture and viability of rural areas in Bulgaria, which consisted papers showing the evolvement of Bulgarian agricultural industries’ competitiveness as of implementation of CAP in Bulgaria and territorial municipalities’ divergences in the development on various aspects of economic and social life.

The conference will be organized in four key topics. The “Prices, Markets, and Policies” session addresses the economic factors and regulatory frameworks that govern the agricultural sector. “The Agriculture and Climate Changes” session highlights the crucial role played by agriculture to provide food security, supporting livelihoods, and contributing to economic growth while also managing natural resources responsibly. “Rural Areas in the Context of Climate Changes” session will render opportunity for exploring the contemporary challenges and prospects for rural development impacted by the unraveled social and economic transformation. The session “Economic Aspects of Digital and Precision Agriculture” will focus on the future of farming, offering incremental efficiency and outcome and triggering up sustainability through advanced technologies. We sincerely hope that you will be among us and together we will continue the discussion about the future development of Bulgarian, European and world agriculture in the context of the current situation and taking into account the future challenges.
