T
he central themeproposedby theUniversal ExpositionofMilan,“Feed-
ing thePlanet, Energy for Life”, openeda great debateon the futureof
food in theworldand the right of everyone tohaveaccess toadequate
food. It is a global challenge in which we must maintain and spread the high
yields achieved by themost advanced agriculture, respecting the environment
andpreserving the planet’s resources.At the same time, particularly in the less
advanced regions, wemust provide a growingworld populationwith themeans
to produce the food resources they need.
In both cases, agricultural machinery andmechanization play an unquestion-
able leading role and, for this reason, the Club of Bolognameets exceptionally
inMilan, in ameeting open to the public, to discuss and highlight the aspects
of sustainability and security of foodproduction that only amodernandefficient
mechanization can achieve on a large scale and for everyone.
Important international experts will highlight how the use of modern technolo-
gies in agricultural machinery enables the production of food in a sustainable
and safemanner. The development of simple and cost-effectivemachines con-
stitutes a fundamental means of promoting food security in developing coun-
tries.
Moreover, we should not forget that in the long course of human society, which
began about 10,000 years ago with the discovery of agriculture and livestock,
the development of more effective agricultural tools has been for thousands of
years themain driver of growth and development.
Theymade possible the increase in production capacity of the individual,mak-
ing available a surplus of food that freed aworkforce for the development and
growth of different sectors, thus causing the gradual evolution and economic
growth of society.
But wemust go as far as 1700, with the advent of the “Age of Enlightenment “
to see the birth of modern scientific thought based on “reason” and the begin-
ning of the great journey of science that has so profoundly changedMan’s way
of life.
In theUK, at thebeginningof the1700s, the first driven seeddrill is built,mark-
ing the beginning of the extraordinary development of mechanization, which in
the last three centuries has led to amore than hundredfold increase in human
