PataFEST is opening a new space for collaboration across the potato sector with the launch of its Multi-Stakeholder Platform. Designed as an accessible and interactive hub, it invites researchers, farmers, policymakers, advisors, and citizens to connect, learn, and contribute to a more sustainable future for potato production.
PataFEST is excited to introduce its Multi-Stakeholder Platform, a digital space created to bring together everyone involved in shaping the future of potato crop protection. More than a technical tool, it is a collaborative hub designed to encourage conversations, build connections, and support smarter, more sustainable decisions across the potato value chain.
The platform offers easy access to carefully curated information and welcomes contributions from researchers, farmers, advisors, policymakers, industry partners, and interested citizens. Conceived as a living knowledge hub, it will continue to grow as new insights, experiences, and needs emerge throughout the project.
Visitors can explore several key sections:
Platform Sections
Resource Library
The PataFEST Resource Library brings together practical knowledge and scientific insights on potato crop protection and sustainable agriculture. As Europe advances toward more resilient food systems, this space provides selected materials on integrated pest management, soil health, agroecology, and more.
Users can access:
- Reports and guidelines
- Specialized publications
- Educational materials
- Data and statistics
Whether you're a farmer, researcher, advisor, or policymaker, the library offers tools that support informed choices, collaboration, and innovation within and beyond Europe.
Related Initiatives and Projects
This section connects users with other relevant efforts in the agri-food and bioeconomy sectors, helping them discover complementary work and explore new opportunities for collaboration.
Engagement Opportunities
The Engagement section serves as an active meeting point where stakeholders from across Europe and beyond come together to share experiences and promote sustainable solutions in potato farming. Its purpose is to promote dialogue, highlight best practices, and support innovation across regions and disciplines.
Citizen Science
This space offers activities co-developed with ECSA – European Citizen Science Association to bring potato research closer to society. Visitors can find webinars, workshops, podcasts, and maps of Citizen Science initiatives in agriculture. It invites citizens to play an active role in research, contributing observations, perspectives, and insights that enrich scientific work and support sustainable transitions.
This platform is open to everyone, and every contribution matters. Your questions, ideas, and expertise can help shape a more resilient and sustainable future for potato production.
