Why low-carbon agriculture by 2050?

Agriculture, at the heart of our food supply, faces a dual challenge: reducing its environmental footprint while ensuring the resilience of systems and the profitability of farms. The aim is not only to optimize the use of resources, but also to adapt production in the face of growing climatic constraints, improve resistance to shocks (droughts, floods, meteorological hazards) and ensure the long-term economic health of farmers. The challenge: to build agricultural models capable of sustainably feeding the population while preserving natural capital.

The "Energy, climate: towards a low-carbon, resilient and prosperous agriculture in 2050" conference

The Shift Project's presentation will be based on a comprehensive assessment of the current situation, fed by feedback from 7,700 farmers. At the heart of the analysis :

Identification of transformation levers to achieve a significant reduction in carbon footprint.
Exploration of possible ways to build more resilient agricultural models, better adapted to the climate and capable of guaranteeing the sustainability of farms.
Highlighting concrete examples, best practices and avenues of innovation to support farmers in this transition.

Speaker : Laure Le Quéré, Agriculture Expert Engineer - The Shift Project

This meeting is an opportunity to understand how to anticipate and integrate climate-energy issues into agricultural strategies. By taking part, you'll gain a better grasp of current developments, discover solutions that have already been tested in the field, and identify concrete levers for action. The discussions will help you build a long-term vision of the sustainability of your practices and the value of your business in a rapidly changing context.

Don't miss this opportunity to gain a better understanding of the climate and energy challenges that will have a major impact on agriculture in the years to come. Come and talk to The Shift Project, and leave with the tools you need to envision the future of your farm, fully integrating environmental, social and economic dimensions.
