This vision of the future is being realised today, with the creation of the Satellites et Agriculture (Satellites and Agriculture) club.<br /><br />On 24 November, for the very first time in France, two competitiveness clusters, AgriMip Innovation and Aerospace Valley, launched a joint innovation club. Known as the &quot;Satellites and Agriculture club, its inaugural meeting brought together 24 key players (companies and laboratories) from these two sectors. They include: 2GA, Actia, Agri-Intranet, Arterris, Arvalis, CNES, CS, CUMA, Geosys, Infoterra, INRA, LAAS, Nav on Time, Noveltis, Pioneer, Spot Image, Sulky, Terres de Gascogne, Université Toulouse 2.<br /><br />The club's mission: to create synergies so that necessary developments in the agricultural sector can benefit from technological resources deployed in the field of aerospace and embedded systems. <br /><br />Farmers are currently facing a major challenge: how to maintain agricultural productivity whilst at the same time reducing their use of fertilisers and plant disease management products.<br />Although the fulfilment of this objective requires new agronomic approaches, it would also be widely facilitated by the development of decision support technologies.<br /><br />&quot;Satellites and Agriculture&quot; will therefore work towards the implementation of collaborate programmes promoting the development of crop management products and services. Their end-goal: to promote the production of competitive agri-products that meet consumers' needs both in terms of productivity and respect for human health and the environment.]]></description></item><item><title><![CDATA[Pollutec Horizons 2009 Brokerage Event]]></title><link>http://www.agrimipinnovation.com/en/news/2009/12/pollutec-horizons-2009-brokerage-event-63.html</link><pubDate>Wed, 02 Dec 2009 08:30:00 GMT</pubDate><description><![CDATA[Pollutec Horizons will attract in Paris the key decision makers of Environment and Green Business.
