LIFE Plants for Plants: Crop Efficiency Enhancement Webinar

The Farm to Fork strategy and the European Green Deal call for an extension of sustainable farming practices that assure food security and reduce adverse environmental effects as well as climate-footprint.

The project LIFE Plants for Plants responds to this call with the introduction of innovative plant biostimulants, aiming to disrupt plant nutrition. Plant extracts and microbials science is opening a new era for biostimulants in which fertilising is re-invented. We need a paradigm change in European agricultural practice that requires collaborative efforts of all relevant stakeholders: practitioners such as farmers and farm advisors, scientific experts and policy-makers. The Crop Efficiency Enhancement webinar will be an important opportunity for all these actors to sit together around one table and exchange ideas on what is needed for policy objectives to become reality.

In several distinct tracks, participants will listen to stimulating keynote speeches and in the following participate in round tables, where they can directly discuss with speakers.

The topics treated in these tracks cover a broad range, comprising among others:

• Comprehensive market and scientific overviews of the plant biostimulation sector
• Scientific focuses and case studies on microbials and plant extracts
• A practical view on the audit process for biostimulants under the new EU fertiliser law

The webinar is moderated by Luke Hutson of New AG International. Speakers comprise representatives from the academic world (Prof. Puglisi, Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore – Piacenza), from the plant nutrition sector (Erik van den Bergh, Managing Director at Van Iperen International), from innovative R&D in agriculture (Adriano Altissimo, Scientific Manager at LandLab) as well as policy experts (Yves Madre, Farm Europe).
