Covid pushes the digital revolution in the countryside

by admin

The Covid emergency pushes the digital revolution in the countryside with investments in drones, gps, robots, software and the internet of things that reach 540 million euros with a jump of + 20%. This is what emerges from the Coldiretti analysis based on Smart AgriFood data on the occasion of the awarding of the Green Oscars, the innovation award for agricultural businesses. Investments which, according to the agricultural organization “aim to combat climate change, save the environment and increase the sustainability of production”. These are important objectives, so much so that the Pope has sent, through the Secretary of State Card. Pietro Parolin, one of his messages to express “appreciation for the significant event aimed at fostering an authentic ecological sensitivity and enhancing greater social inclusion”. And the Pope, reports card. Parolin – “hopes that the initiative will arouse a renewed commitment to promote environmentally friendly production models and increase the involvement of young people in the care of creation”.

But who was awarded? The victory in the Sustainability category went to Chiara Meriti who transformed her fishing boat into the fleet of guardian fishermen in the Marche region. Once the “saccata” has been emptied, the fish is sorted and all the plastic material is collected, which will then be stored inside a mobile ecological island made up of various containers. The trawler undertook, bearing the cost and effort, to select the plastic from the fish and transport it ashore. In the Creativity category, the Oscar went to Federico Pedrolli from Trentino Alto Adige who successfully experimented with the exquisite cider of the nightlife. Cider, dry or sweet, finds new ways and becomes the alternative to beer and wine for the world of nightlife and entertainment. Among others, for the covid category the prize went to Giovanni Zuanon who invented the first Agri-drive in the countryside in Veneto, where you can enjoy excellent snacks and craft beer in front of a good movie, in your own car without risk of contagion.
