At the recent EIT FOOD "Cultivating the Seeds of Innovation" event, industry leaders and policy officials engaged in discussions on advancing agri-food technologies. The event highlighted smart agriculture and the need to interpret data for informed decisions. Discussions covered AgriTech Innovation, Heraklion's UNESCO acknowledgment, and the call for businesses to embrace innovation.   Adding a significant perspective to the dialogue on Agritech innovation, Vlasios Tsezos, CEO of Agritrack took part in the dedicated panel coordinated by Prof. Spyro Founda alongside Smart Agro Hub CEO Mr. Hatzipapadopoulos and Mr. Tsesmeli from Neuropulic. The panel addressed Smart Agriculture challenges, emphasizing the complexity of the supply chain, data security, and the need for standardized data insights. It is worth noting that the Minister of Agricultural Development and Food, Mr. Lefteris Avgenakis intervened to further illuminate challenges and opportunities in agritech. The event showcased a collaborative spirit driving innovation in the agri-food sector. 🌱🚀 #Innovation #AgTechChallenges #eitfood

𝗟𝗘𝗩𝗔𝗖𝗢 𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝟰𝟭𝘀𝘁 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵 𝗦𝘂𝗺𝗺𝗶𝘁 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝗕𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗮 LEVACO is proud to have participated in the 41st Plant Health Summit of the IQS Conference in Barcelona, alongside our partner Ricardo Molina. This conference focused on innovation in agriculture and the essential role of plant health in sustainable farming, bringing together scientists and experts dedicated to develop innovative solutions. Dr. Filiz Y. had the honor of presenting our innovative product, LUCROP® SRF. This adjuvant is composed of biodegradable ingredients and is completely free of microplastics. LUCROP® SRF stands out for its high rain resistance, film-forming capabilities, and crystallization inhibition properties, leading to increased efficacy and reduced environmental impact. We thank the organizers and all attendees for the discussion and insights. #chemicalindustry #innovation #TeamLevaco #PlantHealthSummit #Innovation #Agriculture #Sustainability

🐛🐛 Last post and a summary from the #IFW2024 from Manna Insect team Ykä Marjanen and Saverio Danubio. We didn't participate 2022 or earlier, but talking to many veterans the mood has shifted definitely from academic interested to "making business". Lots of conversations were about getting into realism on expected price levels, becoming profitable, and so on. Also many research presentations were much more concrete and helpful for direct commercial usage than earlier. We are still lacking the ecosystem players and collaboration that is standard in other agrisectors. Most are still doing "everything" from biowaste to selling BSF meal, and even proprietary tech, which is not how other agrisectors work. However, we are seeing more openness and activity on collaboration and forming support ecosystems for insect farmers. The good news is that we are going to right direction as become a mature business oriented industry, with less about hyping and more about hard value propositions. Two years is a long time, so we are eager to update this summary after Torino IFW2026. Also I would like to see IFWx event in #Africa for 2025. Africa has its own way of using #BSF and I think it will hugely significant on helping the continent becoming more independent on food production. The whole industry should go there and learn how BSF doesn't really need that much tech (more education though) around it to make an impact. P.s. If you didn't catch my update post from IFW2024, please go and check it out with lots of pics and insight. #blacksoldierfly #larvae #agrifood #agritech #insects #animalfeed #animalprotein #agriculture #BSF #protein

Cultivating Connections: Thea-Isabella Otto’s Journeys Through the Next Gen Ag Landscape Part 2 After attending the #Indooragcon in Las Vegas, I traveled to San Francisco for the World Agri-Tech Summit. Although the focus at the previous event had been on controlled environment agriculture (CEA), this topic didn't receive as much attention at the summit in San Francisco. However, this turned out to be a positive thing. The summit wasn't solely focused on vertical farms, which have been struggling lately. It was a diverse gathering of innovators from across the entire agri-food spectrum. The event took place on March 19th and 20th, and attracted a high-level delegation of 2,400 people from 58 countries to discuss the future of sustainable agriculture. As someone in the indoor farming industry, this was a unique opportunity. While the Indoor AG-CON in Las Vegas primarily attracted industry professionals, the World Agri-Tech Summit in San Francisco provided a direct link to potential investors and retailers. It was like having a front-row seat to the future of food production, where cutting-edge technology meets real-world demand.

𝗕𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗻𝗲𝘄 𝘁𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗻𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗼 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗰𝘁....... 🦕 We are thrilled to announce our participation in the 'DINOSAR' project—a diagnostic tool that integrates optical, infrared, and SAR data. This innovative project aims to integrate optical and SAR data at an early stage of the processing chain. Our objective is to develop a physically-based and operational diagnostic, utilizing multi-sensor Copernicus EO data. This diagnostic will consistently monitor crop phenology and health under all weather conditions, contributing to a more sustainable use of agricultural resources.   At eLEAF, we proudly lead the consortium that we've formed with our partners, playing a crucial role in scientific research. We invite you to follow our project page and learn more about our progress over the next three years. Together, let's make a positive impact in the field of agricultural technology Thanks to: Euronovia, SarVision, Mark Noort, C.I.
