Conference: “Can agroecology feed the planet?”

Tuesday, October 17, 2017, from 7:30 p.m. to 10 p.m.
Faculty of Science, Building 7, Dumontet Lecture Hall – Triolet Campus
Admission €6

As part of the "Feed, Protect, and Care" lecture series, Cosciences informs you of a radio conference featuring Pierre Rabhi as a special guest. 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 Naturalist Group of the University of Montpellier. The public is invited to attend the recording of the program, which will be broadcast on the three radio stations partnering with the event.
This conference is organized as a cross-dialogue between three specialists in agroecology:

• Pierre Rabhi:farmer, thinker, and writer, founder of the Colibris and Terre & Humanisme movements;
• Jacques Caplat: agronomist and anthropologist, director ofAgir Pour l’Environnement (Act for the Environment);
• Nicolas Brahic: pig farmer in Larzac, creator of solutions for living soils.

All three have experimented with and studied alternative agricultural production models and are committed to sharing their experiences, raising awareness, and mobilizing public authorities at the local, national, and international levels.
This event will advocate for a transition toward greater agroecology while questioning its limits and feasibility. The aim of this meeting is to inform and raise public awareness of the importance and feasibility of transitioning to more sustainable agricultural production methods, but also to create awareness of the impact of small individual changes in consumption, the famous "hummingbird's share" concept proposed by Pierre Rabhi.
The conference will be interspersed with short musical interludes and will end with a concert by singer Chloé Monin from the Montpellier-based band "Scotch&Sofa."
