Description
As the EU seeks to enhance soil health, nutrient efficiency, and climate resilience, organic-based fertilisers (OBFs) offer a sustainable, circular solution to help farmers reduce nutrient losses, improve soil fertility, and strengthen EU food security. However, regulatory and market barriers still limit their full adoption.
This event will bring together policymakers, industry leaders, and sustainability experts to explore how clearer policies, targeted incentives, and science-driven regulations can unlock the full potential of OBFs in European agriculture.
Objectives:
- Highlight the role of OBFs in sustainable nutrient management and climate-smart farming.
- Address regulatory barriers that hinder OBF market access and innovation.
- Discuss how the post-2027 CAP, Soil Monitoring Directive, and Circular Economy policies can create opportunities for OBFs.
- Showcase real-world success stories where OBFs improve soil health, nutrient efficiency, and sustainability.
Target Audience:
- EU policymakers working on soil health, nutrient use, and sustainability.
- Agrifood industry leaders looking to scale sustainable solutions.
- Farmers and cooperatives interested in integrating OBFs into their practices.
- Scientific experts on nutrient management and soil health.
- Sustainability advocates focused on the circular economy and food security.
This interactive session will feature:
- Keynote addresses from policymakers and industry leaders.
- A moderated panel discussion on policy and market challenges.
- An open Q&A session for stakeholders to engage directly.
Speakers (to be confirmed) may include:
- European Commission representatives (DG AGRI, DG ENV, DG GROW).
- Industry leaders in nutrient recycling and OBF production.
- Farmers and cooperatives successfully using OBFs.
- Experts from research institutions focused on sustainable fertilisation.
By bringing together key players in agriculture, policy, and sustainability, this event will advance the discussion on regulatory clarity, market incentives, and the strategic role of OBFs in Europe’s transition to climate-smart, resource-efficient farming.
