“The Association promotes the complementarity of its members’ crop solutions, including conventional crop protection, biologicals (derived from nature), agri biotech and digital & precision agri technologies, for an integrated approach to crop protection that supports a wide range of farming production systems (e.g.: conventional, conservation, organic, integrated, agroecological, vertical etc.) for the sustainable production of safe quality food, one that safeguards the environment and human health. The Association pursues a mainly scientific goal through the scientific study and analysis of all fields of interest to the crop solution industries.”
