Are you ready to adapt to changing climatic conditions
new technological and gastronomic answers to the
for their own survival and that of society as a whole?
We can help! Life and survival begins in the soil!
2025. eagerly awaited regenerative agriculture
event is coming up. Don't miss it!
... 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.

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.
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.
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.
The TMG REAG Conference and Exhibition offers you a unique opportunity to put your farming on a profitable path to regenerative agriculture and deepen your knowledge of sustainable gastronomy. By paying the participation fee, you are not only investing in the hope of ensuring your own survival, but you are also contributing to a good cause: you are contributing to the TMG Association's work to enable it to appear in as many forums as possible and to promote soil regeneration and regenerative agriculture; and to spread the educational programme to as many people as possible.
Comments:
If you can't come for three days, it's still worth buying tickets for all three days.
Why?
Because after the conference you will receive the days you have purchased recording of his lectures!
So even if you are not present on one of the days, you don't have to miss the presentations!
Immerse yourself in regenerative agriculture programmes, with hands-on demonstrations and interactive workshops to help you understand the interconnectedness of ecosystems. Find out how we can build a more sustainable future with living soil, landscape, animals and people in harmony!

The TMG Association is a grassroots organisation, the Soil Renewal Farmers Association, founded by a group of enthusiastic farmers who are ready to provide a new technological response to changing climatic conditions for their own survival and that of society as a whole.
After several years of cooperation and knowledge sharing, we officially became an association in 2018. Our membership is diverse: from one hectare farmer to 1000 hectares. Our members are mainly involved in arable farming, some grow other crops (e.g. vines, fruit, vegetables, lavender) and some are involved in livestock farming. We are also diverse in the sense that some of our members are expatriates from abroad, and some of our members are Hungarians from abroad in the Carpathian Basin. We have organic farmers and conventional farmers, but what we have in common is that none of us plough our fields anymore. We are at different stages of the transition process. Our aim is to help as many farmers as possible to stop farming altogether and really regenerate the soil.
In the early years of the association's history, we focused our efforts on strengthening the membership base, gathering knowledge, experience and success stories. With nearly a decade of collective work behind us, we are confident that regenerative agriculture is a viable alternative to the destructive agricultural system that currently prevails.
As the farming environment and our natural surroundings change for the worse, the number of farmers looking for a way forward is increasing. We want to offer them an alternative, based mainly on our own experience and by sharing our synthesised knowledge. Our members are regenerative farmers who are well-prepared, successful and therefore credible.
The aim of the TMG Association is to adapt the system of soil regeneration agriculture in Hungary and to enable its successful and efficient application. To this end, the association carries out self-financed experiments and research, and uses the results to produce professional articles and educational materials. In addition, our association is also involved in translating foreign literature into Hungarian and translating professional videos in order to provide our members with the widest possible learning opportunities. We organise professional days, farmers' forums, meetings and conferences for an effective exchange of experience. After all, that's our mission!
Our hands-on farmer forums are organised on the farms of our members and typically attract farmers from the region. We organise an annual conference, which attracts more and more people each year. As last year's conference expressed the need to showcase machinery that can be integrated into the technology, this year we are adding an expo to the event.
Conference attendance is mixed. Based on last year's participants, there are many arable farmers (54%), mixed farmers (23%) and smallholders (12%). The majority are conventional farmers, a small proportion are organic. More and more people say that they produce without rotation, but still a relatively large number say that they produce in the conventional rotation way (20%). So we still have work to do!
TMG is short for Soil Restoration Farmers, from the name of the association that organises the event. REAG stands for 'regenerative agriculture'.
If you feel that our farming and natural environment is changing negatively, and that this is having a negative impact on your farming, we can show you a workable way out. This is exactly what we will be exploring at the conference. If you are open to change and change is what you are looking for, this is definitely the place for you!
