Pacioli Network A series of international workshops for innovations in micro-economic databases in agriculture. FADN coordinators, experts and researchers attend this workshop to discuss new developments in data collection, data requirements and research on farm level data sets. The workshop provides a source of inspiration for their day- to-day work and gives the opportunity to establish contacts in and outside the European Union.
