The reduction of energy use and water demand, the resource efficiency approach, the valorization of co and by-products, reaching the ‘zero-waste’ objective, and cutting its greenhouse gas emissions enables the sugar industry to remain competitive while contributing positively to the preservation of the environment.

 

 

Several instruments and practices are used throughout the sugar beet life cycle:

 

              - Rotation choices

 

              - Variety choices

 

              - Seed acquisition

 

              - Seedbed preparation

 

              - Plant growth and nutrition
