Đurađ spoke about My Garden dealing with production of food for the premium sector and IT in agriculture. On their development road, they faced problems with staff, especially when it came to introducing new technologies. This is the reason why they have established a center for farmers focusing on raising the level of knowledge, applying market standards and introducing technological progress. This resulted in increased productivity and most importantly, in reversed migration of youth.
