Mr. Calcagni was invited to give a Lectio Magistralis at Caspian University on January 23, 2018. The invitation was extended by the Rector of the University in view of Mr. Calcagni’s recent valuable commitments to the development of the nut industry in the area, including projects to implement modern agriculture through financial support and a transfer of know-how to local producers. The focus will be placed on developing new producing areas and turning abandoned crops into modern, well equipped plantations, especially for hazelnuts, walnuts, almonds and pistachios.
Mr. Calcagni’s lecture gave a historical perspective of the global tree nut sector and projections for the future. Other points addressed were the complexity of climate change and the economic opportunities afforded by the transition from traditional fruit cultivation to a modern tree nut orchard.
