GUEST: Toralf Richter, FiBL, (GER/CHE)

Statistics, in some way, could be intended as the work of ancient farmers in their fields: observing the changes in order to anticipate the needs, and learning from the problems to find the solutions, both from a social and scientific approach. If we are what we eat, as a famous Feuerbach’s quote affirms, to some extent, it can also define who we are in terms of society. Statistics are one of the tool that can illustrate it. Toralf Richter, Consultant of FIBL, explains to us why statistical research is fundamental in agriculture and what it say about us and about our future.
