BIOVEGEN co-organized the I Meeting of the PISTACIA Operational Group: Sustainable production of quality pistachios.

In this context, BIOVEGEN acts as an innovation agent and will be responsible for carrying out the dissemination plan for the results obtained by the Operational Group in Phase II of the same.
