The controlled production of aquatic organisms is internationally recognized as the branch of the food industry with the highest growth rates. Aquaculture includes both fish and mussels, crustaceans and aquatic plants that are produced in fresh water or salt water. According to the FAO (2020), 114 million t of aquaculture products were harvested in 2018 - and the trend is rising. The diversity of this agricultural area explains the high demand for specialist information. After all, aquaculture also has to face global issues such as sustainability, animal welfare, health and climate protection. The EuroTier is a trend barometer and provides information about innovations in farming, feeding and aeration technology.

Sheep play a major role in landscape maintenance. In addition, they provide wool, milk and meat. Not only is cheese made from the milk of the ewes, sheep milk is also used in the manufacture of cosmetics. Automation and housing systems with low personnel costs hardly exist. This is a challenge for the sheep and goat farmers, but also a guarantee for high social acceptance. EuroTier offers professional sheep and goat farmers as well as hobby shepherds a platform to exchange information about current developments in breeding, keeping and feeding.

For many farmers in Europe, pension horse keeping is developing into a branch of the business that is to be taken up with a high development potential.

Feed recipes are constantly being adapted and new feeds and feeding processes established, for example to increase animal welfare or to reduce nutrient overhangs in order to enable environmentally friendly use. In addition, animal feed plays an important role in securing the nutrition of a growing world population. In the future, the importance of those who are not in direct food competition with humans, i.e. biomass not directly edible by humans, will continue to gain in importance. At EuroTier, leading companies from the national and international feed industry will show how these demands can be met using innovative feed, processes and recipes.

Agriculture faces major challenges in view of the increasing demand from a growing world population. As the largest land user, the sector has a great responsibility for the conservation of important environmental assets such as soil, water, climate and biodiversity. Digital technologies offer optimized processes and higher product efficiency along the entire value chain. This creates continuously high product quality, more sustainability and more flexible work organization. Competitive advantages that also drive agriculture. EuroTier shows what the digital transformation of animal husbandry will look like.
