(Adnkronos) - “Le attuali normative e agevolazioni stanno inducendo agli investimenti in agri-tech, in risparmio energetico, in attenzione al tema idrico. C’è molto fermento e Bper Banca è molto presente ad accompagnare tutte queste soluzioni”. Queste le parole Marco Lazzari, responsabile dell’Ufficio Sales Agri – Servizio Agri Banking di Bper Banca, intervenuto nel contesto del convegno ‘Agricoltura, sostenibilità ed innovazione: le sfide per coltivare il nostro futuro’, promosso da Bper in collaborazione con il settimanale “il Ticino” e organizzato a Pavia.

00:00Today we talk about innovation and sustainability in the agri-food world,
00:12so primary, but not only.
00:15Our observatory sees a segment that is very active on innovation
00:20and very prone to investments.
00:23All the current regulations and easing are leading to this innovation
00:30through investments in agri-tech, in energy savings,
00:37of attention to the water issue,
00:40and so we see a lot of ferment and Biperbank is very present
00:44to accompany all these solutions.
00:46The sectors for us are a determining theme.
00:50The agri-industrial world is characterized by large buyers,
00:56or by consortia, or by cooperatives, or by producers' associations,
01:01which clearly have a very long and very important line of suppliers.
01:08Recent regulations will also lead the sectors to have to specialize
01:16in the theme of sustainability,
01:18because the head of the sector will have to take into account
01:22the sustainability of the entire value chain.
01:25And so, I use a strong term,
01:27all the suppliers, all the suppliers will be dragged
01:31in a path of sustainability,
01:34and they will have to invest to have all the cards in order
01:39to be part of that sector.
01:41So, starting from the top, we want to get to the bottom,
01:46and bring our support.
01:48The numbers speak for themselves.
01:50In terms of jobs, agri-foods account for 10% of the jobs
01:56of our Biperbank Institute.
01:58So, evidently, in addition to having a positive outlook on the sector,
02:03it is also a very important specific weight.
02:06As I said earlier, it is a sector that is also very attentive
02:11to the whole issue of PNRR.
02:14So, it is a moment, an opportunity not to be missed.
