On October 6, a round table “Issues of reclamation of damaged lands” was held in Skolkovo, organized by the Committee on Agrarian Industry and Agricultural Industry of Business Russia Moscow and the Cluster of Biological and Medical Technologies of the Skolkovo Foundation.
The main topics of the round table were the state program for land reclamation and support measures for entrepreneurs dealing with this issue.
“It is difficult to overestimate the eco-issue in Russia, given the concern for the country’s food security and healthy lifestyle, for which a targeted national program has been adopted, approved by the President of the Russian Federation. As of today, this topic is more relevant than ever,” noted committee chairman Sergei Merzlyakov. – Just a little less than a month ago, on September 11, on the instructions of Vladimir Vladimirovich in the Altai Territory, as part of the environmental rehabilitation of areas of the Salair National Park, activists, business representatives and authorities planted 2.6 thousand young cedar trees. Sure, it’s a good promotion, but it’s not enough. We must resolve the issue of land reclamation at the level of the entire country through our common efforts.”
Russian Peat Company LLC (rpc LLC) was represented at the round table by marketing analyst Alexey Ivanov. He made a report “Land reclamation. Application of peat substrates and other peat-based products.”
