AMI’s 7th Agricultural Film conference will take place in Barcelona from 15-17 September 2014
AMI, Bristol, 28th May 2014 – 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 contribution to this development. The use of plastic films has been notable in the horticultural industry, as well as in preserving and improving quality of silage, contributing to continuously increasing 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.
For players in the market the business is a challenging one with many conflicting trends. Agricultural Film 2014 discusses the above issues, presents research findings and possible solutions to the problems faced by today’s protected agriculture. It brings together agricultural and horticultural cover specifiers, researchers, manufacturers and the supply chain to the industry and provides a forum to network with professionals active in this challenging industry.

The day will close with a Greenhouse film innovation session which will include speeches from the University of Thelassy, School of Agricultural Sciences, A. Schulman and the University of Bologna.On the final day of the conference the session on mulch film-biodegradability & waste reduction will include presentations from Barbier Group, the University of Montpellier and Limagrain Céréales Ingrédients.
