Miles de agricultores piden acelerar la transformación tecnológica del campo en Expo AgriTech 2026
Expo AgriTech 2026 cerró este jueves las puertas de su tercera edición en Málaga haciendo un llamamiento a acelerar la transformación tecnológica del campo para reforzar la competitividad del sector ante 8.207 profesionales y agricultores procedentes del conjunto del territorio nacional. Esta segunda jornada acogió también el Foro de Regiones Agrícolas Innovadoras, una cumbre de altos cargos autonómicos que puso sobre la mesa los avances que están poniendo en marcha en sus territorios para conseguir una actividad agrícola más sostenible, rentable y más atractiva para los jóvenes. El ministro de Agricultura, Pesca y Alimentación, Luis Planas, clausuró el foro destacando el papel "esencial" de las administraciones públicas y sector privado para impulsar la modernización del sector. Asimismo, consideró "muy interesante" la aplicación del modelo de la PAC en materia de innovación y destacó que España es uno de los países que más ha aprovechado los fondos de la Política Agraria Común destinados a impulsar la innovación y la agricultura de precisión. De cara al futuro, Planas identificó tres grandes desafíos para el sector: "Alimentar a una población mundial cada vez mayor; hacer frente al cambio climático y a sus consecuencias sobre la producción, incluidas la aparición de nuevas plagas y enfermedades; y aumentar la rentabilidad de nuestras exportaciones". Según destacó, todos ellos tienen un denominador común, "la innovación y el conocimiento", por lo que reivindicó el liderazgo de España en innovación y cooperación, así como el papel esencial del modelo cooperativo para conseguir que los avances lleguen también a las pequeñas y medianas empresas. Agua y suelo La sostenibilidad y el aprovechamiento eficiente de los recursos naturales también centraron parte del debate del Congreso AgriTech 4.0, que en esta edición contó con 285 ponentes. Ante la elevada competencia por los recursos hídricos, los expertos abordaron la necesidad de mejorar la planificación, impulsar las infraestructuras y aprovechar las tecnologías para garantizar el suministro de agua ante las crecientes demandas de los distintos sectores económicos. Andrés Góngora, secretario general de COAG, defendió que "el agricultor hace un proceso de transformación, de agua a alimento, por eso no creo que el debate esté en quién la usa más, sino en quién tiene la capacidad de utilizar mejor el recurso". Por su parte, Juan Carlos Gázquez, director adjunto de Cajamar Innova en Fundación Cajamar, señaló que "la competencia por las tierras y el agua es cada vez mayor y la disponibilidad cada vez es menor, por lo que hay que aumentar la productividad en el ámbito hídrico". Además, Álvaro López, responsable de la Coordinación Provincial de Aguas de la Junta de Andalucía, subrayó que "hay que buscar el equilibrio en la asignación de los recursos para avanzar en la economía". Asimismo, también se pusieron sobre la mesa los retos en cuanto a la sostenibilidad de los cultivos, especialmente del olivo, poniendo el foco en la conservación del suelo, la biodiversidad y la diferenciación del producto. Ángel Angulo, gerente de SAT 1941 Santa Teresa (Aceites1881), aseguró que "no es más rentable quien más produce, sino...
