Valagro, a global leader in the field of biostimulants and other specialty nutrients for plants, has always put the best of its innovation and research at the service of farmers worldwide, helping them "do more with less".

Across the world, agricultural producers feel the need to produce more abundant and better quality crops while using less water, land and technical inputs.

In the complex context of the effects of climate change, scarcity of fundamental resources and low land yields, how can agriculture become constantly more productive and efficient in order to produce additional food for an ever-growing world population in a sustainable way?

To answer this question, Valagro launched Valagro for Future Farming, an initiative to show its commitment to building tomorrow's agriculture through the supply of increasingly innovative and effective solutions and technologies.

A meeting with the title INNOVATION ET PROFITABILITÉ EN AGRICULTURE: SOLUTIONS D'AUJOURD'HUI ET DEMAIN (Innovation and profitability in Agriculture: Solutions for today and tomorrow) will be held on 5 June in the futuristic setting of the Cité de l'espace in Toulouse.

Organised by Valagro France in collaboration with Terre-écos, our media partner for the event, the conference will be an outstanding opportunity to illustrate how Valagro solutions, and in particular biostimulants, can help French agriculture to achieve a better balance between productivity and sustainability, especially in market segments such as row crops.

The event will be attended by industry experts such as Prof. Patrick Du Jardin, Head of the Plant Biology Unit at the University of Liège, and Marie-Noëlle Brisset, Director of Research at the Institut National de la Recherche Agronomique (INRA).

The challenges faced by Indian agriculture and Valagro's role as an innovator will be the subject of the conference STEERING INDIAN AGRICULTURE THROUGH VALAGRO'S SUSTAINABLE SOLUTIONS to be held on 26th and 27th May at the Park Hyatt Hotel in Hyderabad. There will be discussions on the benefits delivered by innovative Valagro solutions by combining productivity, efficiency and quality in Indian agriculture. The event will be attended by distributors, farmers, journalists and opinion leaders in this market.

On the platform, we will have some of the leading exponents of India's academic and research world, including experts from the National Institute of Abiotic Stress Management – NIASM, and the Indian Institute of Horticultural Research – IIHR and the Tamil Nadu Agricultural University –TNAU.

The third event in the Valagro for Future Farming project - entitled “Ciência Por Trás Dos Bioestimulantes Em Grandes Culturas: Soluções Inovadoras Da Valagro Para O Brasil” ("Science Behind Biostimulants In Large Crops: Innovative Valagro Solutions For Brazil") - will be an invaluable opportunity for discussing the future of one of the most important agricultural markets in the world.

Once again, prominence will be given to Valagro's commitment to providing truly effective solutions that are capable of combining sustainability and productivity in agriculture, with particular reference to crucial sectors like that of industrial crops.

The event will be attended by experts from the Brazilian academic world, including Professor Alessandro Guerra of the University of Rio Verde and Professor Paulo Sentelhas of the University of Sao Paulo.
