AGRI’CULTURE: New at the SIA
AGRI’CULTURE: when agriculture tells its story differently
AGRI’CINE
Through film screenings and documentaries, agriculture and food are revealed in a different light, bringing viewers closer to the women and men who bring them to life.
During the week, three screenings are offered each day, giving visitors a chance to pause, reflect, and discover. Each day, the films screened address a different theme
- Women farmers in the spotlight
- Pastoralism & livestock farming professions
- New agricultural models
- Transmission & access to food
- Climate resilience
A place to stop, watch, discuss, and understand agriculture through the prism of images and stories.
Food demonstration
On Sunday, February 22, the AGRI'CINE space will host a culinary and educational event honoring the men and women of the catering industry.
The winners of the “Gargantua” competition represent a specific sector and share the unique aspects of their profession through a savory recipe in the morning and a sweet recipe in the afternoon:
- School catering: taste education, discovering new vegetables, anti-waste and economical recipes that are easy to reproduce at home.
- Hospital catering: meals as an act of care, with balanced recipes made from fresh produce and tailored to nutritional needs.
- Nursing homes: adapting food to elderly guests, working on textures and flavors, and offering foods that are easy to eat, including by hand.
Come and meet the people who feed you every day!
AGRI’CURISOSITE
AGRI’CURIOSITÉ is a cabinet of agricultural curiosities: a space to observe, understand, and marvel at the most unexpected, ingenious, and original aspects of agriculture.
As you browse through this collection, you will discover rare and unusual objects related to agricultural professions: models of agricultural machinery, anatomical models, photographs, archaeological remains, tools from yesterday and today...
All of these items bear witness to the deep connections between the land, the people, and the knowledge of the profession. Take the time to look, ask questions, learn... And above all, let your curiosity guide you.
AGRI’LIBRAIRIE
In this space, designed as a lively pop-up store, books and games become gateways to understanding agriculture in a different way.
This space offers a complementary and sensitive view of agriculture: one of stories, knowledge, imagination, and perspectives that combine science, culture, youth, and personal development.
Young and old alike are invited to participate in fun, educational, and experiential activities: reading workshops, board games, creative activities, herbariums, coloring, storytelling, meetings with authors, book signings, and even audiobook listening stations.
Open a book... Agri'cultivate yourself!
AGRI’CIRCUIT

On the circuit, young participants develop their coordination, attention span, and sense of rules: following a course, finding their way around, avoiding obstacles, and sharing the track with others.
The prize is a CLAAS mini tractor diploma! On your marks... get set... go!
