VIDEO INTERVIEW: Talking stakeholder collaboration and technological advancements in animal agriculture with Stephen Cisneros from TEXAS A&M AGRILIFE RESEARCH
How can European agriculture navigate a turbulent global trade environment, balancing disruption from US policy, rising protectionism, and the evolving ambitions of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP)?
Farmers are eager to innovate, adopt digital technologies, and improve sustainability, yet unstable regulations, complex bureaucracy, and unclear market demand continue to slow adoption, according to a panel at the recent Animal AgTech Innovation Summit.
Ostara, a US-based company, has developed a unique phosphate fertiliser that releases nutrients only in the presence of plant roots, significantly improving efficiency and reducing environmental impact. The company, which started with technology for nutrient recovery from wastewater, raised $70 million in 2022 and is planning further expansion to meet growing demand, primarily in North America, with potential future markets in Brazil. Despite initial low awareness, Ostara is gaining traction among large farms and consumer product companies, pressuring big agrichemical companies to take notice of their innovative approach.
