Data Driven Decisions & Insights on Carbon Footprint
Saturday, July 15 • 10:30 AM - 11:30 AM

Global developments, like rising energy prices, legislation on corporate social responsibility, and increased requirements on the reduction of chemicals and carbon footprint force growers to be more transparent about sustainability in relation to growing flowers and ornamentals. Historical and current data on use of crop protection agents, fertilizers, water usage as well as crop circumstances itself (like temperature / moisture etc.) offer growers an opportunity to make data-driven decisions when deciding on investments in relation to greenhouse equipment. Through insights and calculations, you can make the right decisions and meet the market requirements in relation to topics such as use of crop protection agents and carbon footprinting / LCA analyses. During this 1-hour session, MPS and LetsGrow.com will showcase opportunities on data-driven decision making. Working together leads to making the industry stronger and more sustainable.
