Agriculture 4.0: How to revalorize the primary source of energy

The energy context requires the implementation of solutions with the aim of producing more quality biomass on the same surface area. Light is the key factor in production influencing all others. Analyzing and understanding it is a skill that will enable a successful agroecological transition.

Resource depletion, pandemics and geopolitical conflicts are forcing seed-to-fork stakeholders to quickly adapt directly or indirectly to shortages, increases and climate change.

Symptomatically the energies dry up, from cause to effect one becomes denser. Scientifically called electromagnetic radiation, it is the main player in photosynthesis, more commonly called light. The ability to better understand and analyze this intensifying phenomenon makes it possible to anticipate the different physiological and agronomic mechanisms of biomass.

In this webinar we would like to share with you the actions and operational visions of these actors facing this problem. Among the different cultivation methods, no solution is universal but the overall issue remains the same: eating better.

Firstly, we will discuss current energy issues with a speaker who will provide a pragmatic vision of the current and future consequences of energy accessibility.

Secondly, a European producer constrained by restrictive energy use measures will share the measures used on an environmental, societal and economic level to cope with constantly evolving regulations in his country.

Finally, we will have the chance to discuss with a technical director of four priority seed research centers exposed to the same issues, but with different cultural and geographical constraints.

This webinar opens with new cultural practices where light is the determining element in food production. She is the main actor on the ability to better feed populations with the lowest environmental impact.
