Digital Agriculture: Regulatory and Scientific Aspects of Precision Application

Digital Technologies in agriculture are seen by regulators and stakeholders as an enabler of the objectives of the Green Deal and Biodiversity Strategy, as well as of the principle of Sustainable Food production systems in Europe. Precision applications are part of this innovation, and there is a need to link the technology to regulatory needs for data generation and risk assessments.

Technological developments in agriculture equipment, including digital science have seen a fast acceleration over the past few years, driven by sustainability policies but also economical motivations. The rapid diversification of precision applications (PA) of crop protection products triggered a consensus among stakeholders to investigate the implications from a regulatory point of view and more particularly, on how to define a precision use in terms of risk assessment and product labelling, so that to better reflect the implementation of those application techniques as part of risk reduction objective. The digital Agriculutre conference ties into this discussion and offers a platform to all stakeholders.

The Conference will be taking place in Dusseldorf/Germany on 28 and 29 October 2025.

You can also follow all the exciting contributions via our live stream!
