A film debate is organized on January 23 at 8:30 PM at the multicultural hall of Villefranche d'Astarac.
On January 23, the documentary: La théorie du Boxeur, directed by Nathanaël Coste will be broadcast at 8:30 PM at the multicultural room le Préau.
It will be followed by a debate moderated by a representative of the MODEF (Movement for the Defense of Family Farmers.
Synopsis:
The excesses of the climate are hitting the agricultural world harder and harder. In 2022, the drought creates a real electroshock in the Drôme valley. Nathanaël Coste, geographer by training, investigates organic and conventional farmers for whom the time of adaptation has already begun. On the ground, approaches differ, whether they rely on technologies, water storage, soil management or agroecology.
While half of the farms will change hands in ten years, the film questions farmers and researchers without a priori to rethink our way of producing and build the food resilience of a territory.
Water is at the heart of any living system. The territory of the Drôme valley, classified as a water deficit zone since 1995, is in a fragile position. The evolution of the climate pushes us to rethink our agro-food system, which is wasteful in resources.
What place for corn or soya, water-hungry in the summer and often intended for animal feed?
What could be the usefulness of future small and large water storage?
What does regenerative hydrology propose?
Long channels and large retailers have a predominant role in our consumption models. Industrial logic guides agricultural policies by aiming for high yields and low prices.
What is food resilience and how to ensure it?
How can our food be a lever to adapt agriculture?
Why does the development of short circuits help to respond to climate change but cannot solve everything?
In the air, on land and in soils, ecosystems are complex and interconnected. The crisis of climate change is accompanied by a strong erosion of biodiversity in the fields which finds its cause in the destruction of natural habitats and in the excessive use of phytosanitary products.
Do these two crises have a link?
Plant cover, conservation agriculture, agroforestry: what do the practices that seek to promote this biodiversity and create more resilient agrosystems propose?
