Feeding the world without depleting or poisoning the planet: the challenge of sustainable agriculture.
A session moderated by
Is it still possible to feed 8 billion people without destroying the planet or depleting its resources? Given the scale of the challenge, concern is justified, and the scientific community regularly sounds the alarm. Between intensive crop selection, massive use of pesticides, and excessive mechanization, the consequences are unprecedented: widespread pollution of soil, water, and crops; growing health risks—particularly for farmers themselves; and declining biodiversity.
Yet an urgent question arises: How can we transform or move away from a dominant productivist model—in which the health of all, both humans and ecosystems, is threatened—without jeopardizing the economic situation of farmers, which is already severely compromised? Are there possible alternatives that can reconcile food security, respect for the environment, and economic viability in order to build a sustainable and resilient agricultural system?
After the meeting, join us for a signing session at the Mucem Librairie-boutique.
