Brussels, Belgium, 20-11-2025 – Grodan recently hosted the stakeholder event “Advancing Water Resilience in Agriculture: Innovative Solutions for a Sustainable Future”, highlighting the growing importance of water resilience in agriculture.
Agriculture accounts for roughly 70 percent of global freshwater use, and extreme weather events—droughts, floods, and unpredictable rainfall—are putting even greater stress on the systems that feed us. Strengthening water resilience requires not just incremental efficiency gains, but a rethinking of how and where we grow crops.
Against the backdrop of the accelerating market transformation from low-tech to high-tech strawberry production, initial results from an innovative trial demonstrate the excellent compatibility between F1 hybrid strawberry seeds and Grodan stone wool solutions.
In the era of advanced technology and increasing consumer awareness, the modern greenhouse is not just a place of production but a true laboratory of innovation and an ecological bastion of food safety. Growers, who just decades ago focused mainly on efficiency and fighting plant diseases and pests, now face a completely new challenge: how to produce fruits and vegetables without chemical crop protection residues, while meeting the market’s ever-growing expectations?
We are a global leader in the supply of innovative stone wool substrate solutions for the professional horticultural based on Precision Growing principles.
