... and it begins!

Production costs are sky high, purchase prices are low, the weather is hectic... Sound familiar?

If you stay in the agricultural sector - whether you are a farmer, machinery manufacturer, trader or consultant - you will need new solutions. This conference will help you understand how to transform traditional technology into future-proof technology. If you don't understand why, this is the place for you! Even if you do, you'll want to improve your knowledge and efficiency!

Looking for sustainable gastronomic solutions? Here's your chance to learn more about the effects of regenerative farming, fermentation techniques, sourdough and pulses - all leading to a better and healthier future!

This conference will show that everything is interconnected: soil, water, plants, animals and humans - they are inextricably linked. As we become more and more disconnected from nature, ecological and health problems increase. A regenerative approach helps us understand why we need to get back to the basics of life: healthy soil, living landscapes and real food. The quality of our lives depends on this interconnected system - because only in balance can we be truly healthy and happy.

A taste of the content

3 action-packed days of regenerative farming and gastronomy

The most renowned engineering manufacturers and dealers in 4000+ sqm

Gastronomic experience: tasting quality regenerative foods

Nearly 2000 visitors from a wide spectrum of the agriculture and food industry

Dialogue between participants, visitors - by soil type, by gastronomic area

Diverse national and foreign case studies

Installation of landscape elements on site: field protection forest strip, wildflower meadow, perennial biodiversity

A separate room for discussion with the speakers

Successful practitioners and renowned theoreticians

Soil testing live with detailed explanations

Over 50 renowned speakers, performances on 2 stages and 2 workshops

Rain simulator tutorial that always wins everyone over

By switching to regenerative farming, you can, among other things.

reduce erosion and
the rate of deflation;
can be retained on slopes steeper than 12%
support for areas;
reduce the number of hours worked,
the living workforce;
will be more predictable, more balanced
the yield level;
fertilisers and plant protection products
use can also be gradually reduced;

simplify the machinery fleet
(over time);
wear and tear, amortization
can be drastically reduced;
by integrating livestock farming into crop production
additional benefits can be realised;
break up the plant monoculture with cover crops,
by co-sowing;
risk capital is also
can be drastically reduced; etc.

... i.e. profitability
will grow!

Together with this, the soil will be able to renew itself, we will have living soil again. The ever increasing diversity of soil inhabitants will contribute to healthy soil, which will result in healthy plants. And healthy plants will produce healthy food, which will lead to healthy people.

It's that simple! And it's also wonderful: the producer's own economic interest is the same as the interest of society as a whole in the long run!

What does TMG REAG VIII Soil Life Conference and Exhibition mean?

This will be the 8th year that TMG, the Soil Renewal Farmers' Association, will organise its conference on regenerative agriculture (REAG is the acronym for 'regenerative agriculture'), and as the number of participants has grown exponentially every year, we thought big and created the first Central European regenerative conference and exhibition, which will not only provide professional knowledge on soil life, but also sustainable gastronomy. This event is unique in Central Europe in this field.

The event will feature exciting and colourful presentations from successful practising farmers, innovative researchers and experts in soil regeneration from both national and international fields. There will also be a large-scale machinery exhibition where you can see cutting-edge technology related to regenerative agriculture. During the direct seeding demonstration, several manufacturers will showcase their machines on a blanket plant table on site.

And for those interested in sustainable gastronomy, there will be lectures and workshops on fermentation, sourdough, pulses - everything that goes into environmentally conscious eating.

What is the purpose of the event?

By demonstrating regenerative agriculture, we want to show farmers the way to a sustainable and profitable agriculture. After all, the vision of our association is to make the Carpathian Basin green in winter and summer!

We believe that only healthy soil can grow healthy food. The aim of our association is to spread knowledge about sustainable gastronomy in the Carpathian Basin, so that the health of families is a priority alongside soil health.

We want to show that there is life without ploughing, and what life is like! There is a way of growing crops without ploughing, and we will explain the theoretical and practical elements of this in detail. For many people, in very large areas, the question of how to survive in adverse conditions is a vital one. Many people also want to take steps to live healthy and fulfilling lives, and a fundamental reform of their nutritional routine is an essential part of this.

Who it's for
the event?

For: arable crop farmers, livestock farmers, fruit and plantation farmers, retail gardeners, consultants, people interested in the food industry, academics, students in agricultural education;
For farmers who are willing to change and are interested in this topic;
For those who are already on this path and want to improve;
For advanced farmers who would like to get to know each other and exchange experiences,
For those who want to eat nutrient-rich, healthy food and are interested in fermentation and fermenting,
For those looking for future-proof gastronomic solutions.
For those who want to gain a systems approach to the nutritional cycle

Who are the people who should not come
to the event?

Those who produce profitably with conventional agro-techniques and believe that they can produce profitably in 5 years and beyond;
Those who have no problem with weather anomalies;
Those who are satisfied with the purchase and input prices;
Those who are unable to change and do not even want to try, prefer to make excuses (e.g. because "our ancestors ploughed on")
Those who have no problem with poor quality, preservative-rich foods,
Those who shy away from cooking at home.

An unparalleled opportunity!
Consult Mykhaylo Draganchuk!

Now is your chance to consult one of the leading experts in regenerative agriculture! This exclusive opportunity requires registration and places are limited. Applications will be considered on a first-come, first-served basis, and those for whom we can secure an appointment will be notified separately. When registering, you will be asked to specify the topic you would like to ask Mykhaylo Draganchuk about, ensuring you get the most out of this unique meeting. The consultation fee is payable on the spot.

What are the specificities of the event?

The event will feature two stages with parallel presentations, with more than 50 inspiring presentations! Each presentation will end with a 'Q&A' session where you can ask questions - there's no wrong question! If you're interested in a topic in more depth, we'll provide a separate discussion area where you can continue the conversation with the presenters.
You can meet farmers and share your experiences with others at banquet tables designated by soil type. Tools and machinery will be presented by the most reputable manufacturers, all in accordance with regenerative principles.

There will also be demonstrations: the rain simulator and soil tests will give a live demonstration of the effects of different farming methods. And now we are also looking forward to sustainable gastronomy! Taste products from regenerative farming and learn more about fermentation, sourdough and pulses.
We will share the conference recordings later so you can take all the knowledge home with you!
