Agricultural Technology is Enabling Technology

It enables

  • production of healthy food and feed and of renewable resources
  • f required quality
  • reduction of human workload in all fields of agriculture processes
  • high efficiency in agricultural machines and processes
  • appropriate animal husbandry
  • sustainable handling of natural resources
  • maintenance of the landscape and biodiversity

How to provide 8 Bn. people in 2020 with enough healthy food and sufficient bio energy - affordable and under preserving

  • f nature and landscape - without advanced agricultural technology?

AET Strategic Research Agenda

Summary

  • The intended knowledge-based economy (EU Lisbon Strategy) requires

significant advances in the technologies to manage food and renewable production. The European engineering industry for this sector is internationally leading and competitive, and has recognised the importance of a coordinated approach to the identification of research priorities, and the translation as innovations into practice.

  • Major changes are expected in the shape of agriculture and the

importance of new technologies as well as new ways of communicating information and making decisions.

  • Research themes are explained and prioritised under four topic areas:

Quality and Product Security Sustainable Plant Production Sustainable Animal Production Bioenergy and Renewable Materials.
