This year’s Congress will explore how sustainable farming policies are shaping UK food production and their impact on pesticide regulations.
Key discussions will focus on balancing food production with environmental concerns, the effects of the Sustainable Farming Incentive on land use and food security, and potential policy changes with a new government.
The morning will cover these issues before splitting into two afternoon streams:
- Regulatory Affairs will address updates in UK crop protection regulations, including the latest from HSE/CRD and the implications of precision application.
- New Approaches to Agronomy will focus on applying recent scientific advances and new technologies in farming.
The final day will center on the future of pesticides, considering the Sustainable Use Directive, the National Action Plan for Pesticides, and the Sustainable Farming Incentive’s potential impact.
The conference will end with a workshop for delegates to discuss and provide feedback on HSE’s plans for regulating plant protection products.
