Dr Violeta Mandić, Principal Research Fellow at the Institute for Animal Husbandry, held a professional lecture on 8 June 2026 for the employees and associates of the Rural Development Agency of the Municipality of Inđija.
The lecture focused on the importance of semi-natural grasslands for sustainable agricultural production, biodiversity conservation, and the mitigation of climate change impacts, as well as on modern practices that contribute to preserving their productivity. 🌾
The international Erasmus+ project SMART STEP – Climate-Smart Steps in Grassland Management was also presented. The Institute for Animal Husbandry participates in this project as a partner. The project is focused on developing innovative educational content and strengthening the capacities of experts to apply sustainable and climate-responsible solutions in grassland management.
The constructive discussion and exchange of experiences once again confirmed the importance of cooperation between science and practice, continuous education, and knowledge transfer for more resilient agriculture and the sustainable development of rural areas.
