Masterclass Co-Creation Trust: Biostimulants & Biofertilizers

Gain insight into Biostimulants and Biofertilizers and Gain insight into how the farmers and consumers are perceiving them! Are they game changes?

Are you a farmer or interested in agriculture, or a producer of fertilizers? Then join us and learn about alternatives for chemicals in agriculture: Biostimulants and Biofertilizers. Both of these products offer more natural and sustainable alternatives to chemical fertilizers and pesticides, helping plants grow better, stay strong under stress, and produce higher-quality crops. By using biofertilizers and biostimulants, farmers can improve crop yield and quality in a more natural and sustainable way. But what do farmers think about this? And how is this technology perceived by the general public?  

This masterclass offers insights into the perceptions of farmers and the general public towards biologicals (biostimulants and biofertilizers). We will share key insights from B-Trust co-creation sessions with consumers and farmers. We will hear from Professor Patrick du Jardin, who will provide an honest overview of these technologies, and a testimonial from Certis Biologicals showcasing their real-world applications.

About B-Trust

Food & Bio Cluster Denmark is a partner in the EU-funded B-Trust Project in which we offer you a series of masterclasses.

"The effective application of biotechnology in agri-food and biobased sectors – think of microbial protein, cultivated meat, production of milk components using micro-organisms, biodegradable plastics, …-  plays a crucial role in building a sustainable European future. B-Trust wants to contribute to the valorisation and implementation of these groundbreaking technologies by focusing on building consumer trust and broader stakeholder acceptance. Tackling trust related hurdles is as critical as addressing technological, economic and regulatory challenges, in view of delivering impact at scale with these biotech solutions." –  Flanders’ FOOD, Project Coordinator
