Are you 18-40? Are you passionate about developing a sustainable farming future and do you have the energy, passion and creative ideas to do it? Would you like to attend the world’s largest conference dedicated to finding sustainable crop protection solutions? If the answer is yes, read on.
We are looking for 50 young people from around the world to win attendance to a week-long Next Generation Summit in Ghent, Belgium.

The Next Generation Summit will run alongside, and include attendance to, the 14th IUPAC International Congress of Crop Protection Chemistry hosted at Ghent University on May 19-24, 2019.
The Congress, which takes place every four years, will focus on emerging trends in the crop protection industry. The conference theme is “Crop Protection: Education of the Future Generation” and around 1,500 scientists from academy, government and industry are expected to attend.
In the true spirit of GFAR we are proud to be working alongside and in collaboration with Young Professionals for Agriculture Development (YPARD), the International Association of Students in Agricultural and Related Sciences (IAAS) and Ghent University to bring together an extraordinary programme and opportunity for young people.

This blog post is part of our Partner Spotlight on YPARD, CropLife International and IAAS to promote youth participation in the IUPAC 2019 Next Generation Programme. The Programme aligns with GFAR’s key focus to empower youths to turn knowledge and innovation into enterprise, and builds on the success of the Youth Agripreneurs Project – YAP – an innovative mechanism created by GFAR and YPARD to stimulate smallholder youth entrepreneurship and to ensure that the voices of youth are engaged in shaping the future of agri-food research and innovation.

Dear sir/madam,
It is great to see and hear the opportunity of sustainable agriculture and crop protection, but it is too late for me to come across the announcement here!
I have been working on agriculture business in Cambodia since the last 8 years and pleasure to support growers for sustainable farming business. However, knowledge sharing on technical application for low cost and higher yields with standard are still the challenges for farmers, especially market linkages.
I think two important parts for agriculture sustainability is.
1. Technical knowledge for production
2. Market linkages
Kindly regards

Understanding that sustainable agriculture consists in the management of ecosystems where complex interactions between soil, water, plants, animals, climate and humans take place; with the goal of integrating all these factors into a production system that is appropriate for the environment, society and economic conditions
Based on this vision, references that range from soil preservation based on crop rotation techniques, reduced tillage, to health care of pollinators could be implemented on a daily basis through the implementation of hotels for bees and flower trails that improve the habitat for feeding and proliferating them. Other important initiatives to expand the productivity in the field in line with the local reality go through the use of high quality seeds adapted to climatic conditions and meteorological monitoring to optimize tasks in the field, improving the prediction and control of diseases and pests
