SUMMARY:SAVE-THE-DATE - From Soil to Systems: Living Labs and Artificial Intelligence for a Sustainable Future of Agriculture
DESCRIPTION:Soil is rarely at the centre of conversations about the future of agriculture. We tend to focus on food production\, resilience\, new technologies\, competitiveness and security. Yet all of these questions begin with the same basic resource: healthy soil. Its condition shapes biodiversity\, water retention\, crop quality and the long-term viability of farming systems. \n\n\n\nOn 13 October 2026\, PolSCA PAS Office\, the Committee of Agronomic Sciences of PAS\, University of Florence and Leibniz University Hannover will host a conference in Brussels on soil and plant health\, and their role in the future of European agriculture. \n\n\n\nBridging the Gap: Policy\, Research and Living Labs \n\n\n\nThe event will take the EU Mission “A Soil Deal for Europe” as its starting point. As one of the five Horizon Europe Missions\, it has helped bring soil health into a broader policy and research debate. Just as importantly\, it has moved that debate closer to practice: to farms\, regions\, field trials and collaborative projects involving farmers\, researchers\, businesses\, public authorities and civil society organisations. \n\n\n\nA central theme of the conference will be Living Labs. Rather than treating them as another Brussels policy term\, the event will look at what they mean in practice: testing ideas in the places where they are expected to work. In fields\, on farms and within local innovation ecosystems\, it becomes much easier to see which solutions can make a real difference\, and which remain convincing mainly on paper. \n\n\n\nTechnology and Data in Sustainable Agriculture \n\n\n\nThe conference will also look at artificial intelligence and the growing role of data in agriculture. Digital tools can help monitor soils\, crops and agroecosystems\, support precision farming and improve decision-making. At the same time\, they raise practical and political questions: who controls agricultural data\, who benefits from it\, how can digital tools respond to the needs of users\, and how can technology support sustainability rather than simply add another layer of complexity? \n\n\n\nThe event will bring together researchers\, practitioners\, policymakers\, businesses and civil society organisations. It will also refer to ongoing work under European partnerships. \n\n\n\nThe conference follows on from “Advancing Food Systems in Europe”\, organised by PolSCA Office in March 2025. \n\n\n\nFurther information on the programme and registration will be published soon.
