11th RedBioLAC Annual Conference 2019
RedBioLAC will hold the 11th edition of their annual conferences series and it will take place between 14 and 18 October 2019 in Varadero, Cuba. The topic of this year’s conference will be „Biodigesters: An agroecological option in the rural context“. Register here!
RedBioLAC (short for Red de Biodigestores para Latino América y el Caribe) is 11 years old since its creation and represents a large group of professionals working in different fields on biodigestors in the region. It has been consolidated at the regional level, and has become a space for virtual exchange as a very relevant form of presentation for biodigester technology.
As a framework for the work that the network promotes, an annual face-to-face meeting is held in different locations. The spirit of the conference is to exchange knowledge in the broad sense of the word (from the vision of the users, of those who install the digesters, of those who research and develop, and of forms of financing, and implementation, etc.), to connect participants from various sectors related to biodigester technology and to be able to show some examples of research and implementation throughout the region, as well as sharing lessons learned.
