    ✨ Today is World IP (Intellectual Property) day! ✨ At Aphea.Bio, we're recognizing the importance of IP in fueling and safeguarding innovation. IP in agriculture helps to ensure innovators can protect their hard work while promoting innovation and quality in the food we eat. Did you now that trademarks in agriculture do more than just protect logos? They safeguard the names of agricultural products, preventing copycats and guaranteeing consumers receive the quality they expect. An example is the trademark of the product name of ACTIV by Aphea.Bio®, a biostimulant applied as a seed treatment on wheat that is based on beneficial microorganisms.

    🌱 Providing farmers with innovative solutions to help the transition towards a sustainable agriculture is at the core of our company. 🌱 While many regions, such as the US and Brazil, have systems that are adapted to provide such novel biosolutions to their farmers within a reasonable timeframe, there is still some work to do to accelerate this for the EU. As leading member of the Biocontrol Coalition, we fully support the open letter sent to the EU Commission as well as the contribution submitted to the strategic dialogue for the future of agriculture highlighting the importance of biocontrol strategies. To achieve a future-proof, sustainable agriculture, we need to provide farmers with a wide array of tools to choose from.
