SPACE 2024 Highlights Agricultural Innovation and Global Engagement

Exhibitors reported high-quality exchanges with attendees, many of whom were eager to explore sustainable and efficient agricultural solutions. Despite the absence of an incumbent French Agriculture Minister for the first time since 1995, numerous international political figures, including the Minister of Animal and Fisheries Resources of Ivory Coast, Mr. Sidi Tiémoko Touré, attended. Discussions centered around agricultural development and raw material flows between continents, underscoring SPACE's role as a platform for critical industry conversations.

One of the standout features of SPACE 2024 was the "Espace for Future" segment, which focused on empowering future generations of farmers. Roundtable discussions covered essential topics like workforce retention, technology integration, and sustainable farming practices. The event's Innov'Space Challenge also broke records, awarding 48 trophies for innovations in livestock farming, animal welfare, and working conditions.

Animal presentations, including high-standard competitions, were key highlights, with the Supreme Championship crowning a "Pie Rouge" cow, adding to SPACE’s tradition of showcasing genetic excellence.

Looking ahead, SPACE 2025 is scheduled for September 16 to 18, once again promising to bring together the global agricultural community in Rennes.
