The fair in brief
Given that SIVAL is the place where producers come to find the keys to their future success; given the various targets set by the ‘Grenelle’; and given that the Novafel association is a platform for communication and a forum for exchanging ideas, with the aim of broadening perspectives: given all this, starting with SIVAL 2009, Novafel is instigating a 3-year frank and open-minded debate on the subject of ‘Sustainable production’ in partnership with VEGEPOLYS. Producing more with fewer inputs, less energy and better management of natural resources: can environmentally friendly agriculture be compatible with productivity and profitability? How do we rethink the speciality agriculture of tomorrow in order to meet environmental and social challenges, feed the planet, and ensure sustainable production?
