Session Innovation et Agtech avec les regards d’Audrey Bourolleau, Fondatrice de l’école HECTAR, Gustaf Forsberg, CEO Nitrocapt et Alexandre Viennot, Kermap. Nitrogen fertilizer is essential to food production. In fact, it is critical for humanity as a whole, because without synthetic nitrogen fertilizer, we could only feed half of the world’s population. However, their production and use account for 2.5 % of total global greenhouse gas emissions.” GUSTAf FORSBERG CEO of NitroCapt AI is a tool; it is not an end in itself.. The challenge is having enough time to fully understand how it works. You have to accept to work in suboptimal conditions, testing models that have malfunctions and have a certain error rate — even if it’s not ideal — because if you don’t take the leap, you never learn.” AUdReY BOURolLeAU Founder of HECTAR The contribution of aerial and satellite imagery to agriculture is threefold: the objectivity of the data — since the same methodology is applied to all the plots studied — the ability to scale up and extend to other regions, and finally, data automation.” AleXANdRe VIeNNOT Commercial director, Kermap An innovation program launched in 2023 The first large-scale, impact driven program of its kind in Europe, in two years it has proved itself to be an innovative, concrete, operational model for transitioning plant and grain industries. Our agronomists, our 45 technicians, and more than 100 VIVESCIA employees have rolled out an innovative program for them, including custom training that combines theory and practice in the field to help the farmers involved transition toward regenerative, low-carbon agriculture that promotes soil health and biodiversity. The farmers have worked with our teams to inventory their crop management systems, with 500,000 data points processed this year. This data is central to a digital chain of trust, the key to the TRANSITIONS program, which measures, analyses, and proves the impact of farming practices, soil resilience, ecosystems, and farms. Over the last two years, new partners from our value chain have joined the TRANSITIONS coalition. The entire value chain is involved in TRANSITIONS. It is an ecosystem of economic, scientific and technical partners.

NitroCapt was awarded the Food Planet Prize, the world’s largest environmental prize, in reco- gnition of its outstanding contributions and its ability to revolutionize the global nitrogen fertilizer industry. 23
