Agribex is Belgium’s largest indoor professional trade fair for the agricultural and green sector.
At the trade fair, you will be able to meet and network with colleagues from a wide spectrum of the agricultural sector in an attractive and pleasant setting. You can also target suppliers with your specific wishes, expectations and purchase plans.
Exceptionally dry summers and extreme rainfall – climate crisis anyone? – combined with the war in Ukraine have confronted us with simple facts: our society must look for new energy sources. Agriculture can make more than a contribution to this. An essential part of this is the production of Biogas for making both CBG and LBG, which can be used as a fuel for electricity production in our vehicles and homes. A major source for methane production is slurry, manure and waste from the processing (food) industry. It forms the final piece of a circular agricultural economy while simultaneously contributing to more sustainable agriculture with fewer N2 emissions and fewer methane emissions into the air.
Solar panels and wind turbines are also part of the solution. And for this also, the countryside is being closely looked at, and agricultural companies are being approached. Agribex is a great source of information for any farmer who wishes to participate in this changing world.
Just like other industries, robotisation is making its presence known in agriculture. Tractor manufacturers originally developed the first prototypes, but small start-ups soon followed with more advanced and workable systems; and now classic tool manufacturers are also feeling the need to develop autonomous tool carriers themselves. The technology promises to bring about a revolution in cultivation and labour technology, as well as in terms of climate management and ecology, etc. We lift the veil a little to show where agriculture can go in the foreseeable future.
A fourth themed island at Agribex is a traditional success, namely Workshop Live. At the Thomas More University of Applied Sciences, daily efforts are devoted to a range of machinery, with the goal of inspiring young people and promoting the value of a career in Agricultural Mechanisation. And to respond to this, a job island will be set up in collaboration with VDAB, Forem and Educam where jobseekers and employers can meet and extracurricular courses be promoted.
