SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURE

A MAJOR CHALLENGE

Sustainable agriculture is a major challenge for the coming decades, both in terms of productivity and the preservation of global agricultural resources. Its principle is based on the three pillars of sustainable development developed in 1992 at the Rio Summit:

• Economic Viability: Autonomous production systems, resource-efficient, ensuring decent incomes for farmers
• Social Equity: Equitable distribution of wealth, production rights, and power relations between farmers and distributors
  
• Environmental Preservation: Respect for soil biology, landscapes, and the quality of air and water
  
  

DIFFERENT TYPES OF AGRICULTURE

Pillars of sustainable agriculture, organic farming advocated by the FNAB (National Federation of Organic Agriculture), peasant agriculture supported by the FADEAR (Federation of Peasant Agriculture), and economical agriculture defined by the RAD (Network of Sustainable Agriculture) stand out from intensive agriculture through the involvement of stakeholders in environmental preservation, the production of quality products, and the creation of social ties.

ACTION PIN'S CONCRETE RESPONSE

To meet these requirements, ACTION PIN has committed to an eco-responsible approach by developing products of natural origin for use in organic agriculture, in accordance with regulations EC 834/2007 and 889/2008.

• Adjuvant components are easily biodegradable.
• The unique formulation of HELIOSOUFRE S®, a biocontrol fungicide, reduces sulfur doses per hectare by 50%.
• The liquid formulation of HELIOCUIVRE®, an AB anti-mildew fungicide, offers ease of use, reducing copper inputs.
• Drums are recycled through the ADIVALOR process.
• The entire range has been certified as compliant with regulations EC 834/2007 and 889/2008 by Ecocert Intrants*.

PIN TERPENES TECHNOLOGY

To this is added the Pin Terpenes Technology developed by ACTION PIN for its products, which brings precision and security to treatments.

• Drift reduction
• Resistance to leaching
  
• Optimization of spreading surface
  

By choosing biocontrol combined with terpenes technology, ACTION PIN supports farmers in implementing more sustainable and environmentally friendly practices.

In 2018, nearly 3.7 million hectares of crops benefited from Pin Terpenes Technology.
