Fascination of Plants Day

Aan de achtste editie van de “Fascination of Plants Day” 2026 (FoPD 2026) doen opnieuw plantenwetenschappers van over de hele wereld mee, onder de paraplu van de European Plant Science Organisation (EPSO).

Het doel van dit initiatief is om wereldwijd zoveel mogelijk mensen te enthousiasmeren voor planten en plantenwetenschap — als basis voor landbouw, de duurzame productie van gezond voedsel, de tuinbouw, de bosbouw en de ontwikkeling van plantaardige non-foodproducten zoals papier, hout, chemicaliën, energie en geneesmiddelen. Ook willen we de bijdrage van planten aan natuurbehoud en een leefbare planeet onderstrepen.

The ERA- Net SusCrop is launching a video contest to actively involve EVERYBODY from across the world to reflect, communicate and inspire on ‘what sustainable crop production means to you?’.

The competition is open to EVERYBODY and is supposed to activate multiple groups: school children, students, scientists, farmers/farmer-groups, and any person/group of random enthusiasts, artists (film, circus, music, digital/installation art, …), architects, social media/communication workers, etc.

KEYWORDS to inspire: sustainability, resilience, agriculture, forestry, ecology, crop production, crops, plants, science, nature, climate change, the future

However, we invite any kind of video: be original, think out-of-the-box! What does sustainability in the area of crop production mean to you? How should agriculture look like in the future? Do you practice sustainability procedures in growing crops or ornamental plants in your environment (e.g. your garden or balcony)?

More information on the different categories, prizes, eligibility conditions and selection criteria can be found on: https://www.suscrop.eu/video-contest-2022

We look forward to receiving your video!
