The N2 2024: The Noosphere & the Global South conference explored the intersection of technology, society, and the noosphere—the sphere of human thought and collective consciousness. Hosted by Human Energy and UM6P, this year’s event brought together leading thinkers, visionaries, and innovators to discuss solutions to the challenges posed by the techno-social era. Through engaging presentations and collaborative dialogue, N2 2024 aims to inspire actionable insights and transformative change.

Bruno Gérard's Presentation:

Synergy, Sustainability, and African Agriculture

African agriculture stands at a critical juncture, shaped by dynamic drivers of change including rapid urbanization, demographic growth, and climate pressures. While agriculture remains the backbone of livelihoods for millions, its low-input, subsistence-based systems are increasingly unsustainable. These challenges are exacerbated by resource constraints, erratic rainfall, and degraded soils, which hinder productivity and resilience. The need for transformation has never been greater​.


Opportunities lie in adopting sustainable intensification approaches that enhance productivity without degrading natural resources. Digital tools, mechanization, and innovations in plant genetics offer practical solutions to close yield gaps and improve resource efficiency. However, these require a robust enabling environment, including improved market systems, access to credit, and secure land tenure. Moreover, strategic investment in higher education is essential to equip the next generation of agricultural leaders and researchers with the skills to innovate and adapt to the continent’s unique challenges​.


By leveraging transformative opportunities while addressing entrenched barriers, African agriculture
can transition from subsistence to sustainability. This transformation must prioritize integrated research and development, policy alignment, and cross-sector collaboration to meet growing food demands and enhance livelihoods. With bold and coordinated efforts, the continent can achieve resilient, inclusive, and sustainable food systems, contributing to long-term economic growth and environmental stewardship.​

N2 2024: The Noosphere & The Global South took place on December 16th - 18th in Ben Guerir, Morocco 🌐

The N2 Conference looks to deepen our present understanding and future vision for the noosphere, the sphere of human consciousness and mental activity especially in regard to its influence on the biosphere and in relation to evolution.

N2 is an international, interdisciplinary conference bringing together leading scientists, scholars from across the disciplines, thought leaders, creative artists, and all those who are interested in the meaning and possibility of the noosphere for our collective future.

We invite you to join the conversation and keep watching more N2 2024 presentations on this channel. Subscribe for updates and insights as we continue to explore the transformative potential of worldview, technology and the noosphere.
