The “INESC TEC Science & Society” magazine returns in 2022 with the theme “(R)Evolution in Agro-food and Forestry”. In the fourth edition, INESC TEC experts and guests provide a thorough outlook on the impact of science and technology on these sectors.
The transfer of technology is a crucial and complex step in the innovation process. Likewise, the adoption of technology is a vital and challenging phase. In this sense, INESC TEC established the TEC4AGRO-FOOD in 2014, the Institute’s Initiative for Agro-Food and Forestry. The TEC4AGRO-FOOD is a new organisational approach aiming at structuring the market-pull innovation process, as opposed to the science-push that occurs naturally in INESC TEC’s Research & Development Centres, supporting the establishment of the adequate balance between the two opposing motivations and the full knowledge-to-value chain.
TEC4AGRO-FOOD mission is co-shaping the digital (r)evolution in Agro-Food and Forestry, through technological R&D focusing on digital and robotic technologies, towards the creation of long-term value for INESC TEC via clients, markets, and relations.
This is the starting point of this edition, which focuses on aspects part of the (r)evolution of both sectors – from the need for an integrated vision for agro-food and forestry policy and technology to digital transformation, artificial intelligence, and the application of geospatial information systems in agro-food and forestry.
The magazine aims to disseminate science to society and contribute to the discussion of emerging questions. The upcoming edition will focus on energy transition.
