We are at a significant crossroads in the EU, marked by a new legislative cycle and the challenge of harmonising environmental goals with industrial needs. The Strategic Dialogue on the Future of EU Agriculture has emphasised the importance of enhancing sustainable farming practices. Decarbonising agriculture and food production is essential for the transition, requiring the advancement and scaling of innovative solutions and sustainable practices.

This webinar aims to provide an in-depth exploration of the current state and future trends in the fertiliser industry within the European Union. Beginning with a retrospective analysis, the session will review historical developments, regulatory changes, and market dynamics that have shaped the fertiliser sector in recent years. Expert speakers will address critical issues such as supply chain disruptions, sustainability challenges, and the impact of environmental regulations on production practices. Topics will include advancements in sustainable fertilisers, the role of technology in improving efficiency, and the implications of global trade patterns on the EU fertiliser landscape. The webinar will also offer a comparative analysis of the EU regulatory framework and pathways to a decarbonised future. Additionally, the event will underscore the importance of collaboration among farmers, traders, policymakers, and consumers in driving change towards sustainable agriculture.
