Regenerative Agriculture: from the field to corporate strategy
The RTRS 2024 International Conference will provide a platform for examining regenerative agriculture from both field and corporate perspectives. Sessions 3 and 4 will feature producers and corporate leaders discussing practical approaches and strategic insights that showcase how regenerative agriculture can reshape the future of sustainable soy production.
Titled “Towards a Regenerative Transition,” the conference will take place on November 19th and 20th at Oude Vismijn in Ghent, Belgium. This event offers a unique opportunity for industry professionals, producers, and researchers to come together and explore key topics in soy production and trade.
On the first day, we have planned five sessions. In our previous communications, we shared details about the first two sessions, which cover the latest updates on EUDR implementation and the emerging regulatory landscape for soy. Now, we’d like to highlight Sessions 3 and 4, where we will delve into the evolving world of Regenerative Agriculture.
Sebastián Malizia, Executive Director at Fundación ProYungas, will be the Firestarter who kicks off the conference with inspiring insights into sustainable practices.
In Session 3, Regenerative Agriculture: views from the fields, we will explore regenerative agriculture through the perspectives of producers and researchers, focusing on practical approaches to envisioning a regenerative future.
