Society is currently undergoing a transformation towards a more sustainable and conscious approach to the origin and quality of the food we consume, as well as the way it is produced.

The agricultural field has focused on crop sustainability and ensuring food safety. Environmental protection is central to INTERJOSPAL’s mission.

. Therefore, it is essential to adapt farming methods towards a ZERO WASTE approach, which seeks to maintain the natural balance in the agricultural and environmental ecosystem, and gives consumers the confidence that they are eating healthy food.

In this context, the United Nations 2030 Agenda and the European Union’s Farm to Table strategy are presented as essential frameworks for addressing these challenges.
These plans seek to promote more sustainable agricultural practices, reduce food waste and ensure an equitable distribution of resources.

Due to the importance of promoting sustainable agriculture, in line with the initiatives proposed by the European Green Pact (EVP), the 2030 Biodiversity Strategy and the Farm to Fork strategy, INTERJOSPAL contributes to the achievement of these objectives by developing new biostimulant products with low environmental impact and zero waste.

Biotechnology plays a key role in this process. Because, from natural raw materials, such as plant extracts, microorganisms or their derivatives, they will be transformed into highly efficient and environmentally friendly agricultural products. Our investment in R&D&I responds to consumer demand to produce healthy foods to meet some of the most important challenges facing global agriculture in the coming years, for example, feeding a growing population that requires increases in crop yields, which can be stimulated by biostimulants. Extreme temperatures, lack of water, salinity and other stresses related to climate change require resilient crops to optimize yields.

For this reason,
INTERJOSPAL
is committed to research and development of new technologies such as “IONIC AGRO TECH“. It is also committed to investing in new strains of microorganisms of agronomic interest for the manufacture of natural biostimulants or biofertilizers that improve:

  • The availability in the use of crop nutrients, increasing yields.
  • Quality characteristics during crop development and in the final product.
  • Natural bioprotection against biotic and abiotic factors.
  • The synthesis of bioactive compounds by activating physiological and metabolic pathways.

The agricultural sector has a promising future; that is indisputable. If we do not invest in it, always under the principle of sustainability, our own future will be at risk.
