On Saturday, November 16, CosmoCaixa hosted a new edition of BCNspiracy, a renowned science communication event that brings science closer to all audiences through talks and expert discussions. This year, as part of Science Week, the event focused on the theme “Soil and Food.” Researchers from IRTA participated in the event, contributing their expertise in regenerative agriculture and soil health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A debate on the future of Soil and Agriculture<\/strong><\/p>\n

During the roundtable discussion Soil Health and Food<\/em>, Georgina Alins and Francesc Prenafeta, researchers at IRTA, joined Xavier Domene from CREAF on stage, with Andrea Arnal moderating the session. The debate highlighted the importance of adopting an agricultural model that respects ecosystems while producing high-quality food.<\/p>\n

Georgina Alins emphasized the work of the AgriRegenCat project, which she coordinates at IRTA. This project has become a benchmark in regenerative agriculture research, exploring the implementation of sustainable practices across various crop types and contexts. \u201cIt is crucial to continue researching to identify the best practices that can restore soil health and increase its biodiversity,\u201d Alins pointed out. She also stressed the collaboration with institutions like CREAF and the University of Lleida to ensure a multidisciplinary approach.<\/p>\n

For his part, Francesc Prenafeta underscored the need to combine scientific knowledge with traditional agricultural practices to achieve a balance between food production and ecosystem conservation.<\/p>\n

The discussion concluded with a clear message: the future of agriculture lies in integrating regenerative models that respect natural cycles, reduce environmental impact, and ensure a sufficient and high-quality food supply.<\/p>\n

Science through stories<\/strong><\/p>\n

Enric Sangr\u00e0, a science communicator at IRTA, delivered a talk in the NANOspiracy<\/em> space titled How to Make Science Memorable: The Power of Telling Stories<\/em>. Using the AgriRegenCat project as an example, he explained how stories help connect scientific concepts with general audiences, making them more accessible and understandable.<\/p>\n

Sangr\u00e0 announced that in 2025, IRTA will publish a children\u2019s book that will explain regenerative agriculture through an engaging and educational narrative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The importance of Science Communication<\/strong><\/p>\n

IRTA\u2019s participation in events like BCNspiracy reinforces the institute\u2019s commitment to science communication and the promotion of sustainable agricultural models. Through projects like AgriRegenCat, IRTA continues to champion research and its dissemination.<\/p>\n
