I'll be attending #SOFIE2 on behalf of co-organiser ECOFI @OrganiCarbon today. Eager to talk about how #organic-based fertilisers can help bridge the gap between urgent #fertiliseravailability challenges and long-term #foodchain sustainability! Let me know if you're there too 🌱

#Biostimulants can help improve #soilfertility says @A_Angeletakis on behalf of EBIC at @FAO Symposium on Healthy Soils, by:
♻️reducing #nutrient losses
🪱 increasing beneficial #microorganisms
📈improving chemical composition
🌱fostering root development
fao.org/events/detail/sympos…
#SoilFertility is the ability to sustain plant growth by providing essential nutrients and favorable chemical, physical, and biological characteristics🌱

#Farm2Fork
Fascinating (if a little unnerving) presentation from @michaeltanchum at #Farm2Fork about implications of recent geopolitical developments for food and agriculture #foodcrisis
➡️ Infrastructure reflects strategic intent ✅
➡️ Lack of strategic intent results in catastrophe ❎
"We may as well write these targets down in the sand, if we have no strategy to deliver them" says Luca Bonini in his opening address at #Farm2Fork and yet, many secondary raw materials are absent under new EU fertiliser reg 😓 #realityVSrhetoric @Food_EU @EUAgri @EUZeroPollution
Fully agreed. But how does this fit with the missing component materials in the incoming EU fertilising products regulation, including animal by-products; the vast majority of micro-organisms for biostimulants, oilseed cakes treated with chemical solvents, and more...
Humans are responsible for more nitrogen entry into the soil through fertilisation than what is created naturally. There are many challenges; all soils are different. We need LOCAL solutions for fertilising -- Dr Günter Brader @AITtomorrow2day.

Jacob Rees-Mogg crowdsourced Brexit opportunities from the public.
From that brown firehose of over 2,000 nonsensical suggestions plus his own efforts, he drew up this absurd list of the top 9 opportunities.
No, we really did leave the EU for this.🤦♂️

This is exactly why the #SAIO Regulation must require data collection for all fertilising products, including plant biostimulants and organo-mineral fertilisers! You can't manage what you don't measure... 🌱📏♻️

In a meeting with @PetrosKokkalis, the EP rapporteur on the revision of the Statistics on Agricultural Input and Output regulation.
Modern and targeted policy needs data to help taking decisions and provide information how the policy is performing on the ground.
