Agriculture plays an important role in climate change, as it is responsible for more than 20% of CO2 emissions. Sustainable agriculture aims to maximise the net benefit for people by developing new farming practices and methodologies to meet current and future societal needs for food, ecosystem services and human health, whilst reducing the negative impacts of climate change.
The event discusses the need to integrate data analytics in agriculture in order to respond to current and future challenges of the worldwide food and wine industry. This would entail intensifying the production in a sustainable way, reducing negative environmental externalities and promoting local economic growth.
The main objective of the webinar is to showcase the use of data analytics in technical solutions developed for agriculture to make it more sustainable by reducing the usage of raw materials, water, and chemical fertilisers and pesticides. This would help move towards healthier food products and greener agriculture practices for the environment, contributing to the European Green Deal goals.
