We begin this post with a key question to understand where both agriculture and the agroindustry linked to it are evolving. Why is the future of agriculture in plant biotechnology?
There are many reasons for this, but the main one is because productivity, quality, naturalness, and sustainability go hand in hand thanks to the application of science and technology.
Precisely for this reason, MAFA is part of various public-private groups and associations focused on promoting plant biotechnology, which is offering so many applications. We are part of organizations like Biovegen, an association that brings together entities from the agri-food sector with an interest in R&D&i in applied plant biology.
As our business goal is to offer the best natural solutions for the field, plant biotechnology is our best tool to achieve the biostimulation, nutrition, and bioprotection that each crop needs.
Why is the future of agriculture in plant biotechnology?
Sustainable and environmentally friendly agriculture is a priority in today’s society. In fact, new European regulations emphasize the need to protect the land and the raw materials it generates, while respecting the environment and plant health, and ensuring sustainable crop yields.
In other words, legislation on biotechnology and plant health aligns in mitigating the impacts of climate change on the health of our crops and forests. This is achieved with products that are as effective against the inevitable pests and diseases of plants and trees as they are safe and free from toxicity.
ChatGPT Plus What are the advantages of applying biotechnology to agriculture?
Considering that the agronomy sector is increasingly linked to plant biotechnology, it goes without saying that there are many advantages to applying it to agriculture.
PROVEN EFFECTIVENESS
Products made from biotechnology undergo numerous trials to guarantee their effectiveness and quality. This is precisely what we do at MAFA. Not only do we demonstrate to the farmers we work with how our natural solutions will be applied and their effectiveness, but we also publish them periodically on our website.
TOTAL RESPECT
They optimize crop production with total respect for the environment, that is, for the health of the plant, the soil, and the microorganisms within it.
NON-POLLUTING
It helps reduce CO2 emissions. This is because natural solutions for crops are obtained, optimizing water use and avoiding waste and chemical processes.
PROTECTS BIODIVERSITY
It helps reduce soil and aquifer contamination, a key aspect for the success of crops and their sustainability over time. By reducing or avoiding the use of chemicals, we develop productive and healthy crops, without compromising soil quality and biodiversity.
HEALTH WITHOUT RESIDUES
As a result of the above, we promote healthy agriculture, because it enables more nutritious foods free from toxicity and allergens. It is ZERO RESIDUE
