Horsch “Serto SC” cereal seed drills that defy the cold

9 January 20259 January 2025 Redazione

Every sowing season carries a degree of uncertainty, which varies from year to year and crop to crop. In addition to the usual challenges of selecting the most suitable varieties or hybrids for one’s farm, economic and climatic variables must also be considered. Economic issues include market prices and public subsidies—the former entirely unpredictable at sowing time, while the latter offer a reliable and plannable source of income.

Artificial intelligence, all that glitters is not gold

8 January 202520 January 2025 Redazione

Furio Oldani The European Union defines artificial intelligence, in the acronym “Ai” or “Ia” depending on whether the terminology is Anglo-Saxon or Italian, “the ability of a machine to demonstrate human capabilities such as reasoning, learning, planning and creativity.” AI therefore allows systems to perceive the surrounding environments, to relate to them and to act to grasp specific objectives, solving any problems that may arise. The systems operating on the basis of Ai analysis are in practice capable of adapting their own behavior and therefore that of the hardware they…

Neither Coldiretti nor Greenpeace

7 January 20259 January 2025 Redazione

Agricultural growth is held in a vice. On the one hand, environmentalists who attack chemistry, genetics and farming. On the other Coldiretti which advocates niche agriculture aimed at the production of typical products. Convenient position as it allows her to erect walls against anything that could attack her power. Agricultural industrialization, non-traditional production, extensive production first and foremost, but also gmo’s, cultivated meat and free trade agreements. The two lobbies find their meeting point in biotech, with Coldiretti for years advocating positions close to those of Greenpeace except granting timid…

In a democratic state, laws are neither inherently good nor bad but always reflect social or economic needs that the governing administration seeks to address within the framework of its electoral mandate and ideological positions. This…
