The three-year sustainable agronomy event is the event that will be held every three years to enhance the design experiences developed in the Action Plan. It will be held in Milan in the expo area.
The event is managed by the International Foundation, Agronomist World Academy Foundation.
In addition to the exhibition of the projects, thematic events will be organized on the identified objectives, photographic and cultural exhibitions.
The term “Agronomist” was coined in the eighteenth century to refer to an expert in agricultural sciences.
In ancient times among the Sumerians, the role of Agronomist was considered sacred and of exclusive priestly attribution. The Agronomists presided over the census and stacking of agricultural areas, foundations of new colonies, and all campaign operations.
The activity of the agronomist was considered sacred because it intervened on fatal aspects for the society connected to food and therefore to the survival of the human population. The Agronomist assumed the priestly and magistracy function, assigning the lands, defining the boundaries, creating irrigation systems, prescribing times and modes of cultivation and harvest. Even today, the agronomist focuses its activity on delicate aspects, potentially dangerous for the environmental balance, intervenes on natural cycles, sometimes altering them voluntarily for the needs of production and food, entering new extremely risky frontiers such as bioengineering..

Local development and identity are the indicators of the territorial organization of production processes. The relevance of the anthropic changes determines the landscape recognition, the irreversible soil loss, the community relationship.
The identity of agricultural production is also local identity; the correct planning and design of production sites helps to promote the transmission of value that an identity territory can reveal.

Sustainability and productivity are the indicators of the efficiency of the use of natural and anthropic resources of a farm. The evaluation of efficiency is based on the accounting of production both in terms of consumption and in terms of the inputs / outputs.
How to produce more for new needs by limiting the impact on the environment? The methodological approach of the future must aim at the balance of resources through careful planning of consumption.

Biodiversity and genetic improvement represent the indicator for measuring the ecosystemic complexity of a farm. It measures the criticalities of the simplification of production processes, of the monospecific nature of agronomic choices, of the use of modified genetic resources and at the same time of genetic variability aimed both at the perpetuation of the species and the greater resistance to threats caused by adversity.
If genetic improvement represents the scientific and professional progress of the agronomic world, it is necessary to take effective actions to stop the loss of biodiversity in order to ensure the resilience of ecosystems

Food and food waste are indicators of the efficiency of agricultural production on a farm. The links of the food supply chain are evaluated with respect to the consumption production ratio. Another element of measurement is represented by the cultural diversity of consumption.
Food as a cultural brand: its choice also determines its social status. But how and how much to produce? It is necessary to give concrete technical answers to the inequalities and contradictions for the construction of a democratic society and a development perspective.

Climate change and production territories represent the indicator of crop adaptability to the production environment. The adaptability to different production environments compared to climate change measures the resilience capacity of agricultural production.
The contribution of the agricultural sector to climate change is fundamental. For the territories of production a long phase of new planning of agricultural systems opens, of their insertion and of their effectiveness to mitigate the effect of the change.

The Sustainability Campus consists of a network of Pilot Farms where projects contained in the Project cluster that implement the actions of the various Focus Area represented in the Global Farm of the Future 2030.
The Global Farm of the Future 2030 represents a experimentation laboratory of precise indicators which make it possible to measure sustainability on a small scale and therefore to associate them with the macro indicators indicated by AGENDA 2030 per assess the degree of sustainability of the practices that are implemented with the projects selected on the Campus.
The structure of the Campus is as follows:
