The objectives of the AgroPine2016 meeting are to connect the different researchers from the Mediterranean region, to update, share and transfer the current knowledge, to identify strategic research needs and partnership opportunities and to network and analyse the current state of stone pine culture and pine nuts markets. After the first AgroPine meeting in 2011, co-organised by the SFM-RI UVa-INIA, the second edition will be held in Portgal, where stone pine area has increased since 1970 from 40,000 to 180,000 ha, with a clear vocation for agroforestery and plantations for cone production (info at http://agropine2016.iniav.pt).
