« Innovation at the time of the third agricultural revolution by Ms. Catherine Regnault-Roger, professor emeritus of the University of Pau and Pays de l’Adour (UPPA), member of the French Academy of Agriculture and the National Academy of Pharmacy, on Public Life, is surtitled: ” Parole d’expert »
Well Named !
The chapô asks:
« In three centuries, three agricultural revolutions have followed one another. The first two, in the XVIIIe and 20e centuries, have made it possible to respond to the food challenges of population growth. Will the technological innovations of the current third agricultural revolution make it possible to meet the challenges of sustainable development? »
Very presumptuous who will want to answer ” oui ! Although… we have to agree on what we mean by ” sustainable development ».
But we can undoubtedly answer positively in the sense that the third agricultural revolution contribute to – in fact, it already contributes, and not just a little – to the answer.
Provided… Here, after a superb panorama that cannot be summed up:
« To conclude, we must insist on the fact that all these innovations, essential tools for agriculture to meet the challenges of the 21st century, must benefit from appropriate regulations which do not create any obstacle to their implementation but on the contrary encourage them to grow. »
And it is on this point that we must make a big collective effort.
