We live in a world that is changing fast due to climate change and the need for sustainable solutions that will help growers bolster their bottom line while ensuring the long-term viability of their operations.
It’s a big reason why I’m happy to report that Acadian Plant Health is one of the first biostimulant companies to earn registration under the European Union’s new Fertilizing Product Regulation (FPR) as part of the EU Green Deal.
The new regulation was created in part to promote sustainable agricultural strategies in a low-carbon economy through stronger regulations on safety, quality, and labelling requirements for fertilizer products.
Beyond that, it provides our company with an opportunity to provide an alternative solution in reducing synthetic chemical and fertilizer use.
Acadian’s seaweed extract solutions are positioned to play a vital and positive role in transforming global agriculture — all in a way that successfully meets the challenges we face today, from increased demands on supply, to depleting resources. Our solutions can help deliver on the vision of the Green Deal, while ensuring farmers can continue to achieve the results they expect.
The Green Deal is requiring farmers to search for environmentally friendly crop inputs so as to reduce the use of synthetic fertilizers and pesticides. Receiving our CE Mark Certification under the new EU Green Deal is essentially a stamp of approval that gives our partners and their grower customers the confidence that Acadian Plant Health’s seaweed extracts have been evaluated for safety, quality and efficacy and they can be confident in choosing our products as part of a crop input solution.
This is important moving forward in the biostimulant market of the future. Green Deal initiatives to reduce fertility use mean that growers need to utilize every bit of fertilizer they apply. Our biostimulants can help with that through increased nutrient uptake and nutrient use efficiency. As a result, we are playing an increasingly important role in creating a sustainable agriculture industry now and tomorrow.
