Plants for the Future ETP (Plant ETP) is a multistakeholder platform representing the plant sector from fundamental research to crop production and distribution. Plant ETP brings together stakeholders from the plant sector, including academia, the seed and breeding sector, agricultural service providers, and the farming community. Together the members consider the challenges and opportunities of agrifood value chains in a holistic way, while developing a vision for future systems spanning food, feed, and biobased raw materials. Plant ETP works at the European level, to promote the flow of innovation to the market for the benefit of society. This is done through its three missions.
providing strategic direction for the research and innovation (R&I) needs of the plant sector to ensure the solutions of tomorrow will be readily available
promoting science-based policymaking to support the plant sector and enable the translation of research for the benefit of society
increasing awareness and appreciation of the importance of plant sciences and plant breeding for our agri-food system
In this way, Plant ETP works at the science-policy interface, acting as the link between policymakers and agrifood stakeholders, to support the transition towards more environmentally and socio-economically sustainable agrifood systems.
