Digital Agriculture: Regulatory and Scientific Aspects of Precision Application

+++ Book now with 10% discount +++ only limited places available at the reduced rate: DIGI10

Technological developments in agriculture equipment, including digital science have seen a fast acceleration over the past few years, driven by sustainability policies but also economical motivations. The rapid diversification of precision applications (PA) of crop protection products triggered a consensus among stakeholders to investigate the implications from a regulatory point of view and more particularly, on how to define a precision use in terms of risk assessment and product labelling, so that to better reflect the implementation of those application techniques as part of risk reduction objective. The digital Agriculutre conference ties into this discussion and offers a platform to all stakeholders.

The Conference will be taking place in Dusseldorf/Germany on 28 and 29 October 2025 and you can follow all the exciting contributions via our live stream!
