One possibility that merits exploration is to work with farmers to phase in smart farming
methods, which begin the process of sustainable crop and animal production while reducing
the need for petrochemical inputs (fuel, fertilizers, and pesticides). Implementation of ICTbased
knowledge tracking and decision support systems is integral to achieving low-input
agriculture systems.
ICT-based apps and healthy food platforms can also be employed to engage more citizens in
participating in Community-Supported Agriculture. This process can help persuade farmers of
the market demand for healthy, safe, and nourishing food products. CSA entities currently exist
in Luxembourg, but on a modest scale.
