The Slovenian Chamber of Agriculture and Forestry - Agricultural Institute Kranj will take part in the 30th anniversary Spring Agricultural and Handicraft Fair Komenda 2025, which will take place in Komenda, Slovenia, from 11 to 13 April 2025, where it will jointly present the projects Circular Rainbow and BeBlue - Beyond Bluegrass, funded under the Italy-Slovenia Interreg Programme. KGSZ -Zavod Kranj is a partner in both projects and the joint exhibition and demonstration space represents an important opportunity to strengthen scientific cooperation between Slovenia and Italy and to promote innovative solutions for the sustainability of aquaculture and aquaponics, focusing on digitisation and new technologies.

The fair, which will take place at the Komenda Racecourse, will start at 10am on Friday and will be open until 7pm. On Saturday and Sunday, we will be present from 9am. Entrance is free.

We will be present at the Circular Rainbow stand (Tent 8), where we will present the project activities, the 3D model of the RAS, promotional material and questionnaires for fish farmers. The Circular Rainbow project develops innovative models for circular trout farming that optimise production, reduce environmental impact and increase resilience to climate change, while the BeBlue - Beyond Bluegrass project focuses on strengthening a sustainable agri-food sector through aquaponics, which combines in a single system the cultivation of soilless plants and the farming of fish - water recirculation allows for an optimal use of the natural resources needed for the production of feed for fish.

Both projects promote the circular economy and digitalisation for advanced monitoring to improve the management of systems, and cross-border cooperation is a key and essential element: the achievement of the intended objectives is closely linked to the expertise, presence on the ground and ability to involve operators in participatory processes, which is ensured by the project partners.

In addition to the Slovenian Chamber of Agriculture and Forestry - Agricultural Institute Kranj, the Faculty of Biotechnological Sciences of the University of Ljubljana is also involved in both projects as one of the partners.
