SPACE elects new Chairman

Didier Lucas, a swine farmer in  Saint-Alban (Côtes d’Armor), has been elected new Chairman of SPACE.

Committed in unionism since 2004, Lucas presided over the FDSEA 22 from 2010 to 2019. Currently Chairman of the Chamber of Agriculture of Côtes d'Armor and Vice-President of the Chamber of Agriculture of Britanny, he is acknowledged for his relentless commitment to agriculture and farming.

Since 2019, he has been managing the Espace for the Future, a forward-looking SPACE project dedicated to innovation and anticipating farming's evolution

He succeeds Marcel Denieul, SPACE Chairman since 2014, in a continuous effort to accompany professionals through the profound changes in their sector.

"I weigh the responsibility that falls to me, to walk in the footsteps of my predecessors who established this landmark event over 40 years ago in the heart of our grand farming region in the Grand Ouest. SPACE has become a crown jewel of innovation at the service of today and tomorrow's farming. The entire world converges and seek fitting and inspiring solutions for all sectors. Facing societal, environmental and climate challenges, but also for food and agriculture's pivotal role in every country, I wish to SPACE to remain a global reference in solutions fitted to the needs of farmers and farming companies," Lucas said.
