Sustainable agriculture

Produce while protecting the environment and our natural resources with the evolution of farming practices.

Agriculture has many faces: extensive, inclusive, connected… but the model of “sustainable” agriculture imposed itself on us. Farmers, consumers and the food industry have incorporated the new imperatives of “needing to produce differently”.

 

But adapting to a new model can take time and make that model profitable can become a challenge. The experiences shared within this session aim at presenting different possibilities to transfer to all the tools for a successful sustainable agriculture.​
