Agricultural Film 2023

Overview

The ​12th edition of AMI's international Agricultural Film conference will take place on 18-20 November 2019 at the Hilton Barcelona, ​Barcelona, Spain. The ​three-day programme will bring together agricultural and horticultural cover specifiers, raw material and film manufacturers, professional researchers and educational institutions, cooperatives, growers and associations and public and private bodies involved in agriculture to provide a forum and a networking platform with professionals active in this challenging industry and global food supply in general. Over the past 60 years, agricultural output and productivity has significantly increased and plastic agricultural film for silage,... mulch and greenhouse applications has made substantial contributions to this development. The use of plastic films has been notable in the horticultural industry, as well as in preserving and improving the quality of silage and contributing to continuously increasing crop and milk yields. Plastic films have also enabled the extension of cultivation in terms of the growing season and the location through the use of protective mulch and greenhouse films. Plasticulture is offering viable solutions to help achieve the challenging goals faced by today’s agriculture. Plastic films have been part of the solution concerning global food supply and they will hold an even more important role as government funds are released to encourage agriculture in the developing and/or climatically challenged regions.
