How can modern food production systems create shared value for people, farm animals and nature?

Since the industrial revolution, agriculture has developed rapidly, from have been handled manually on small-scale farms to today with modern technology, chemicals and artificial fertilizers. 

The question is whether these methods will be sustainable in the future? Will the soil be able to produce food with the methods we use today? Can we feed the ageing and growing population with today’s food production without risking damaging our planet? 

In this seminar we want to discuss how we, in the future, can secure the availability of nutritious food, create work- and business opportunities, while we take care of the animal welfare and work in harmony with the natural ecosystems.

• Should we go back to the original ways of food production? 

• Should we focus on sustainable intensification with modern biotechnology and artificial intelligence? 

Welcome!
