Conference "Can we feed the planet with agroecology?"

Faculty of Science, Bât 7, amphithéâtre Dumontet - Triolet Campus
Admission 6 euros

As part of the "Nourish, Protect and Care" lecture series, Cosciences informs you of a radio conference with the exceptional presence of Pierre Rabhi. This event is co-organized by Cosciences, a Montpellier-based association for scientific dissemination and mediation, and Radio Campus Montpellier, in partnership with Radio Aviva, RCF Hérault Maguelone, Evolt, the University of Montpellier and the Groupe Naturaliste de l'Université de Montpellier. The public is invited to attend the recording of the program, which will be broadcast on the three partner radio stations.
This conference is organized as a cross-fertilization between three agro-ecology specialists:

• Pierre Rabhi: farmer, thinker and writer, initiator of the Colibris and Terre & Humanisme movements;
• Jacques Caplat: agronomist and anthropologist, director ofAgir Pour l'Environnement;
• Nicolas Brahic: pig farmer on Larzac, creator of solutions for living soils.

All three have experimented with and studied alternative agricultural production models, and are committed to disseminating their experiences, raising awareness and mobilizing public authorities at local, national and international levels.
This event will be a plea for a transition towards more agro-ecology, while questioning its limits and feasibility. The aim of this meeting is to inform and raise public awareness of the importance and feasibility of the transition to more sustainable modes of agricultural production, but also to raise awareness of the impact of small individual changes in consumption, the famous "hummingbird's share", a concept put forward by Pierre Rabhi.
The conference will be interspersed with short musical breaks, ending with a concert by singer Chloé Monin, from Montpellier's "Scotch&Sofa" group.
