The objective of this technical workshop is to deepen knowledge of the mechanisms that facilitate soil improvement, the factors that increase organic matter, understand how they work and how we can enhance them, as well as point out which practices can be negative. The results of studies on vineyard soil management, carried out by INCAVI, will be presented with the aim of defining sustainable strategies that promote the quality of grapes and wine. IRTA will consider introducing new molecular analysis technologies that allow us to understand soil biology, better understand how it works, and improve its management. Furthermore, the natural mechanisms that plants use to obtain nutrients and other benefits through active exchanges with soil microbiology will be presented. PROGRAM | REGISTRATION

New consumer trends are evolving rapidly, driven by changes in technology, sustainability and consumer preferences. Consumers are increasingly concerned about the environmental impact of their purchases, and mental and physical health is a priority, favoring the consumption of products that promote well-being, healthy foods and self-care experiences. New alternative ingredients are being introduced into food manufacturing, food analogues (meat) whose consumption is decreasing, as well as new cooking/consumption practices that could have a direct impact on consumer food safety. The webinar “Shelf life of food: adapting to new consumer trends” to be held on December 10 will present these changes in habits and new developments, as well as their associated microbiological and physical-chemical risks and how to deal with them. Goals To raise awareness about new purchasing, consumption and cooking habits, as well as new alternative ingredients and similar foods, according to the latest AINIA 2024 Barometer. To delve deeper into the microbiological risks associated with new food consumption trends. To delve deeper into the physical-chemical risks associated with new ingredients and analogous foods. Addressed to R&D and Quality technicians from food companies. Webinar for professionals only. Methodology 1h15 webinar, starting at 11:00 CET (Spanish time) and ending at 12:15.
