Agriculture as we know it today is the result of the "green revolution" associated with technological advances to feed the planet at low cost. This revolution was characterized by an increase in agricultural yields through the implementation of irrigation and the introduction of fertilizers and pesticides.

Today, we realize that this agriculture coupled with climate change has a negative impact on our planet and our health with an increase in certain cancers. Many pesticides are also endocrine disruptors causing hormonal imbalances.

Today we produce enough food for 12 billion people while 800 million suffer from malnutrition (figures from the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization).

Are there alternatives that would allow us to produce while preserving the soil?

while respecting nature?

while limiting resources and including the human dimension?

There are 3 options which are :

- Organic agriculture

- Agroforestry

- Agroecology.

The question is to know if these methods would allow to feed the planet. The answer is YES.

You will do research on these 3 fields and will expose the object of your work in the form of an infographic uploaded to the following board so as to be included to the virtual exhibition.
