The need forsustainable agriculture with a multidisciplinary approach is imperative to securefood for future generations. The organizers have held a series of workshops ofsix sections divided into two days, each section has a common topic on sustainableagriculture which links to the overall concept of sustainable agriculture,taking into consideration environmental, economic, social, and innovationalaspects. The theme for the firstday is "Soil, Plant, and Food: Agri-food Waste Recovery andReuse" and will be focus on the discussionabout the treatment and the reuseof residues from agro-industrial, food, forestry production processes, and how agro-industrial residues froma legislative point of view is consideredwaste, but it is importantto find alternative andmultidisciplinary strategies for their treatment and recovery using a circular economy approach. On the second day the theme will be "The role of sources,data analysis and digitalization for the agrifood sustainability", and will focus on the sustainability ofagriculture from the economic point of view and the digital technologies. In particular, the discussions will deal with topics ranging from processes for making food production sustainable, the possibility of tracing the level ofsustainability of agriculturalproduction, to the role of genetic improvement for sustainable agriculture, to the use of the biomass of agricultural origin in the framework of the circular economy.

The need for sustainable agriculture with a multidisciplinary approach is imperative to secure food for future generations.

The role of sources, data analysis and digitalization for the agri-food sustainability

The topics dealt with on the first day will leave room for environmental sustainability and  the defense of biodiversity, through new strategies to increase resistance to abiotic and biotic stresses and to reduce inputs; with the aim of mitigating the negative effects of climate change (including erosion and soil degradation, reduction of biodiversity) and increasing, at the same time, the spread of conservative agricultural systems while respecting natural resources.

The first day has as its general theme sustainability in agriculture through the reduction of inputs in the fight against insects, weeds and environmental stresses for the protection of biodiversity and includes 11 interventions in total one of which will be a plenary lecture.

Sustainable Agriculture to tackle climate change

The second day will leave room for the theme of environmental impact in food and feed production through new sustainable production processes. In addition to climate change and the depletion of natural resources, the current system of food production is one of the main causes of the heavy environmental impact with activities closely related to breeding, transport, packaging and packaging. Achieving a sustainable food production system and reducing food waste are major global challenges that can help address growing food demand and produce food with high added value both from a sustainable and nutritional point of view. 

The second day has as its main theme the new sustainable production processes of the agri-food sector but also the reuse of waste from the supply chains to be used in the extension of shelf-life and in the production of feed and includes 9 interventions of which a plenary lecture.
