Third Industrial Revolution Consulting Group
The harvesting of renewable energies allows farmers a diversification of their income and to be
more financially self-sufficient, providing more stability and resiliency to enable them to be
more experimental. For example, they can experiment with changing crops that may be more
tolerant to erratic climate and weather patterns, or crops that can be used to produce biobased
polymers for the expanding composites and 3D printing industries. The robust financial
security from onsite solar and wind power systems also enable greater flexibility in
implementing new smart farming methods – ICT-based precision tools and techniques – as well
as eliminating petrochemical inputs through alternative methods and organic practices.
Accumulating experience with smart farming approaches provides positive evidence of
increasing yields while reducing operating costs.
The transition to a post-carbon (emissions), biologique, organic, and ecologically sustainable
agriculture establishes a new era of best practices that can position Luxembourg agricultural
products as a premier global brand noteworthy for the care, stewardship, and regenerative
approach to farming that results in healthy, nourishing, and safe products that citizens can trust
and prefer. The ecological brand goes hand-in-hand with obtaining a premium price for
Luxembourg agricultural products.
