Malta supports the promotion of new technologies to help the agricultural sector's transition towards greater sustainability.
These were the words of Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Animal Rights Anton Refalo during another Council, AgriFish, of ministers responsible for the same areas of the European Union countries.
