The event, whose theme was the future of agriculture, created an excellent forum for dialogue between the global leaders of BASF Plant Protection Division and the experts of the Hungarian state administration.<\/h3>\n<p>Farming has become more complex than ever before. The unpredictability of weather, the difficulties in pest and weed control, market price fluctuations, scarcity of natural resources, and over-population of the Earth are a major challenge for agriculture. These challenges encourage BASF to continue its committed work to develop innovative solutions and to help farmers meet the world\u2019s growing demand for food.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-10128 aligncenter lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/bcsdh.hu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/basf_konferencia-17.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"466\" height=\"311\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 466px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 466\/311;\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Christoph Hofmann, head of Agricultural Solutions division at BASF Hung\u00e1ria Kft.<\/strong> emphasized at the beginning of the event that the conference wanted to become a platform where different stakeholders (the government, producers, industry) could discuss the questions of the future of agriculture.
