1st Bioeconomy Field Day in the Rhine Valley
On the grounds of the Agri/ Horti Photovoltaic Research and Demonstration Facility, the BioeconomyREVIER will introduce you to the agriculture of the future on August 18 from 12 - 4 pm.

Join us in the field! We introduce you to the agriculture of the future. At the 1st Bioeconomy Field Day in the Rhine Valley, you will learn more about agricultural robotics, agri-/horti-PV, alternative crops, innovative value creation concepts, biodiversity and climate adaptation.
In its function as a supplier of food and raw materials, as well as in shaping the landscape, agriculture is one of the most relevant bioeconomy sectors in the Rhenish mining area, both economically and in terms of landscape. Here, a sustainable, bio-based circular economy is a living tradition. In addition to the structural change caused by the lignite phase-out, which directly affects agriculture through its land, the industry is affected by further upheavals and constantly changing framework conditions.
Many are therefore concerned with the question of what the agriculture of the future will look like: Which methods and crops offer added value? And are these sustainable for the environment and climate?
Together with researchers from Jülich and other partners in the "BioeconomyREVIER Innovation Cluster" funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research, we are addressing precisely this question. As part of the BioeconomyREVIER structural change initiative, promising approaches from science are therefore being tested and further developed for economic practice in the region. In addition to the other topics "Integrated Biorefinery" and "Biotechnology & Plastics Technology", the focus is primarily on agricultural topics.
Our innovation approaches are now becoming increasingly visible. Therefore, we are very pleased to hereby offer you for the first time a field day dedicated to the bioeconomy and agriculture at the future "Profile Place of the Bioeconomy" in Morschenich-Alt. The location is to develop into a meeting place for practice and science in the thematic field of Innovative Agriculture.
We therefore cordially invite you to an initial, exciting exchange! Look forward to the presentation of the first Agri-/Horti-PV demonstration and research facility in the Rhineland area, demonstrations of several field robotics systems, alternative crops for cultivation, information on soil and geodata systems as well as networking and consulting opportunities.
