Dear Moderator, Good Morning
 
Please, find in the attached files the information related to (Form #1) initiative reported, (Form #2) feedback, and (Form #3) espression of interest of participation in the SFS Programme. I think that sustainable agricultural and the technology development  refers to increase productivity, quality, efficient and resource-saving, i.e., water, soil, land, energy, fodder techniques, good practices, methods and expertise for production and life quality. It also refers to techniques for species development and improvement, pest-control expertise and to technology appropriate for the management, protection and improvement of the environment. To achieve such objectives, in addition to increasing inputs of materials for production, scientific and technical expertise should be useful and fully utilized to improve efficiency, quality of production and to maintain sustainable agricultural development. In this context I do believe that could be useful an attention to new methods and instrumentation to decrease risk and impacts in agricultural practices. 
 
 
Very Truly Yours,
