The International Plant Nutrition Council (IPNC) aims to promote science-based research and education in plant nutrition. This is done to underscore the significance of this scientific domain in crop production, food security, human health, and sustainable environmental protection. Widely regarded as the foremost international gathering on plant nutrition worldwide, the IPNC-organized Colloquia bring together researchers working on plant mineral nutrition, plant molecular biology, plant genetics, agronomy, horticulture, ecology, environmental sciences, and fertilizer use and production.
