The University of August 20, 1955, in Skikda, is hosting the first national forum on mountain agriculture and the rural economy. Organized by the National Union of Agricultural Engineers with support from the Ministry of Agriculture, the event focuses on developing a national vision for rural sustainability. The discussions explore how modern technology and artificial intelligence can enhance agricultural efficiency in mountainous regions. Aligning with National Tree Day on October 25, the program includes a major reforestation campaign aimed at environmental protection and forest fire prevention. The forum seeks to unlock the economic potential of rural areas by fostering local investment, supporting artisans, and creating employment opportunities to improve the livelihoods of local communities and encourage regional development.
