Yesterday, Protealis brought together soy experts, industry partners and customers from across Europe at its first Soy Field Day event in Ghent. While soy field days are a common practice in the industry, this one was extra special because of its northernmost location in Europe. It highlights Protealis' expertise: developing legume crops, such as soy, that are particularly suited for colder climates. Congratulations to the team on this achievement! 🌱 #Protealis #Innovation #Soy #ProudofOurPortfolioCompanies
And that's a wrap! 🎉 Yesterday marked a milestone as Protealis hosted its first-ever Field Day—the northernmost event of its kind!
