PataFEST Multi-Stakeholder Platform:
A Space for Collaboration in the Potato Sector
PataFEST is a European project focused on advancing sustainable potato crop protection and supporting the transition toward more resilient agricultural systems. As part of its activities, PataFEST features a Multi-Stakeholder Platform that provides an open and interactive space for collaboration across the potato sector.
​
Designed as an accessible hub, the platform invites researchers, farmers, policymakers, advisors, and citizens to connect, learn, and contribute to a more sustainable future for potato production. It is a digital space created to bring together everyone involved in shaping the future of potato crop protection.
More than a technical tool, the platform functions as a collaborative hub aimed at encouraging conversations, building connections, and supporting smarter and more sustainable decisions across the potato value chain. It provides 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 continues to evolve as new insights, experiences, and needs emerge throughout the project.
