Month: June 2025

The 16th International LANDNET Conference took place in Budapest between May 28-30, 2025, organized by the FAO (Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations) in celebration of its 80th anniversary.

Since 2002, the FAO has been organizing annual regional workshops for Europe and Central Asia on land tenure topics such as land consolidation, land banks, state land management, land abandonment, and land market development. The technical network became widely known as LANDNET in 2010. The main professional theme of the 2025 LANDNET workshop was: Land Consolidation from European and Global Perspectives. The three-day conference provided opportunities to explore best practices in land consolidation through various lectures and panel discussions. The Obuda University was represented at the conference by Institute Director Andrea Pődör and Deputy Institute Director János Katona.
