Experts gather in Seville to analyse the crop science needs of EU’s agricultural sector

Today, the European Crop Protection Association (ECPA) called upon representatives from the food chain and policy community to form a European partnership to map ways to ensure the future of European specialty crops. The key mission of the initiative is to ensure that these food crops get the protection they deserve and are not left as “orphans” by the regulatory process: the reality of market return versus the high cost of investment does not hold a bright future for them.
