To mark the Year of Plant Health, Koppert has just concluded a three-part webinar series – Plants for Life, Plants to Survive – with a feature on Plant Resilience. The webinar series was to highlight the importance of plant health on people’s health.

In the third session of the plant health series, the Creative Director of ‘Resilience Food Stories’ Hanneke van Hintum and Maaike Groot, Manager Public Affairs at East West Seed, shone their light on various aspects of plant health and how it connects to human health. The keynote speakers discussed their viewpoints with an online audience of young professionals, scientists, entrepreneurs, activists, creatives, chefs and government reps; in short, anyone with a passion for plants and people.
