16th AgroStat Conference (AgroStat 2024): BOOK OF ABSTRACTS

The AgroStat biannual series of conference are driven by the Agro-Industry Group of the
French Statistical Society (SFdS), which is a non-profit organisation bringing together
researchers, engineers, teachers and statistics users (https://www.sfds.asso.fr). The 16th
Edition of the AgroStat Conference (AgroStat 2024) will take place from the 3th to 6th
September 2024 in the city of Bragança, Portugal, hosted and organised by the
Polytechnic Institute of Bragança (IPB).
Bragança is a typically-Portuguese old town (Romanic origin dates back to the 10th
century), located by the Natural Park of Montesinho – one of the wildest forest zones of
Europe – and the Douro Valley – the third oldest protected wine region in the world; and
surrounded by traditional villages of a distinctive rustic beauty. Bragança houses several
traditional industries producing a myriad of local foods, such as cheese, fermented meats,
wine, chestnuts and honey, which provide substantial economic sustainability to the
region.
