Who sees the big picture?
Plant Health, Public Private Research Program
• Robust and resilient crops
• Robust and resilient growing techniques ( e.g. healthy soils )
• Smart and innovative technologies
• Effective and sustainable IPM (application and agents)
• Integrated approach to prevent loss caused by disease and pests
Food-related Risks; different perspectives
