[:en]On May 29 and 30, at the El Batel Auditorium (Cartagena), a thousand professionals gathered sharing knowledge in the new world of microorganisms.
Ideagro, together with Agromarketing Spain organized the I International Forum of Microorganisms, becoming one of the most important agricultural research forums of the year. Never before have so many professionals from the technical and scientific fields related to a subject as topical as agricultural treatments based on microorganisms come together.
As our Technical Director, Pedro Palazón, explains: “…At Ideagro, we have been leading the development of microorganism-based biostimulants and fertilizers for more than 9 years, so we were fully aware of the need to organize a forum in which the actors involved shared knowledge and analyzed the appropriate future strategies that would allow us to advance precisely, solidly and jointly in the field of microorganisms…”.
When we find ourselves before a new regulatory framework, which includes microbial products such as fertilizers, and soon, as biostimulants at a European level, it was the ideal moment to organize Microbiome, a pool that would allow for global knowledge from the different points of view. view involved: legal, phytosanitary, fertilizer and biostimulant.
When we designed the program, we were clear that we wanted it to be something agile, dynamic, that would allow us to know all the points of view in the same forum so that later each of the participants could draw their own conclusions autonomously and gain decision-making capacity in their daily work, something that, in view of the comments received, we believe we have achieved.
At Microbioma it has become clear that we are working with complex products, which we must investigate to discover their potential and, of course, to learn how to handle them efficiently..
«…For me the success of microbiome This is due to having been able to unite in the same forum more than a thousand people, with different training or concerns (72 % technicians/producers, 16 % manufacturers of microbial products and 12% researchers/scientists) in a relaxed, networking environment, and with the intention of sharing, collaborating and adding…” says our Technical Director.
We highlight a phrase from Dr. Esther Ngumbi: “…We need to find sustainable solutions that can restore soil health, reduce fertilizer use and revolutionize agriculture… the moment is now…«
Thank you for the effort and work, without them it would not have been possible, of two members of the scientific committee: Carlos García Izquierdo (CEBAS-CSIC) and Pedro Fernández Molina (Ministry of Agriculture).
Of course, to the entire Agromarketing team, who made “easy” what would have been “impossible” for others, with enormous flexibility, adaptability and indescribable confidence in this challenge.
In addition, and with regard to IDEAGRO, Palazón affirms, "...I cannot help but thank our partner Alexia Stellfeldt, IDEAGRO Project Director, who has actively participated in the scientific committee, in the preparations for the event and moderated the Biostimulants and Fertilizers blocks, putting all his effort and determination so that the event not only goes ahead, but is also a success..."
Also thank the rest of the #IDEAGROteam, their support and effort so that we have experienced two incredible and intense days in which it has become clear that microorganisms in agriculture are part of the sector's agenda.
See you at MicroBioma Forum 2020!![:en]On May 29 and 30, a thousand professionals gathered to share knowledge of the new world of microorganisms at the El Batel Auditorium (Cartagena).
ideagrotogether with Agromarketing Spain, organized the First International Forum of Microorganisms, becoming one of the most important agricultural research forums of the year.
Never before there had been so many professionals from the technical and scientific fields gathered in a forum related to a topic as current as the agricultural treatments based on microorganisms.
Having to face a new regulatory framework at a European level which includes microbial products as fertilizers, and shortly, as biostimulants, it was the right time to organize The Microbiome Forum, a round table that would allow us to have a global knowledge from the different points of view involved: legal, phytosanitary, fertilizer and biostimulant.
When we designed the program, our main target was The Microbiome Forum to be agile, dynamic. It should allow us to know all the points of view in the same forum so that each of the participants could draw their own conclusions in an autonomous way and gain decision-making capacity in their daily work. According to the received comments we believe that we have achieved.
In Microbiome it has become clear that we are working with complex products, which we must investigate in order to know their potential and, of course, to learn how to handle them efficiently.
“From my point of view, the real success of Microbiome is having been able to unite in a same forum, more than a thousand people with different training and concerns (72% technicians / producers, 16% manufacturers of microbial products and 12% researchers / scientists) in a relaxed environment, networking, and with the intention of sharing, collaborating and adding” says our Technical Director.
We are grateful to two members of the scientific committee: Carlos García Izquierdo (CEBAS-CSIC) and Pedro Fernandez Molina (Agriculture Ministry). as without their effort and hard work The Microbioma Forum would not have been possible.
We can't forget the entire Agromarketing team, who, with enormous flexibility, adaptability and indescribable confidence in this challenge, made "easy" what for others would have been "impossible",
From IDEAGRO Palazón would like to express his gratitude to Alexia Stellfeldt IDEAGRO's Project Director who has actively participated in the preparations of the event and in the scientific committee as well as moderated the Biostimulant and Fertilizers blocks Thanks to her effort the event not only went ahead, but it was a success.
See you at MicroBioma Forum 2020!
