This visit comes at a time when the need to realize the potential of agricultural innovation has been placed at the top of the agenda by Phil Hogan, Commissioner for Agriculture, at the EXPO Milano, and also by the European Parliament, where a large number of MEPs have called for ‘EU agricultural innovation systems’.

WHAT?

• Modern production techniques – that deliver high yields, protect biodiversity, control pests, increase beneficial insects and pollinators and reduce erosion
