Our Missions & Values

At the heart of our mission is the recognition that plastic can be a valuable asset in agriculture when used responsibly.

Our mission section-image is to unite global plasticulture organizations, promote sustainable practices, and drive innovative solutions section-image for productive and eco-friendly agriculture.
Our mission is to improve the yields and quality of agricultural section-image production, while reducing the need for water section-image inputs and useful areas necessary for crops and livestock.

Our Missions

The International Committee of Plastics in Agriculture (CIPA) serves as a global consortium, uniting national associations dedicated to advancing plasticulture.

Our Values

CIPA is guided by a set of core values that reflect our commitment to sustainable agriculture.

Environmental Responsibility

We believe that agriculture and environmental stewardship go hand-in-hand.

We make sure that our practices protect natural landscapes and reduce the environmental footprint of agriculture.

Innovation

Tech innovation drives our efforts, as we encourage and support advancements in plasticulture.

From developing new biodegradable films to supporting efficient recycling programs, CIPA champions forward-thinking solutions.

Sustainability

We prioritize sustainable practices and continuously seek new solutions to reduce waste and ecological impact. CIPA supports the development of biodegradable and recyclable plastics, helping to build a circular economy within agriculture.

Global Collaboration

CIPA works with an international network of farmers, researchers, companies, and policymakers, uniting expertise from around the world to promote sustainable plasticulture practices.

Environmental Responsibility

We believe that agriculture and environmental stewardship go hand-in-hand.

We ensure that our practices guarantee food sovereignty while reducing the environmental footprint of agriculture.

Informing the Global Plasticulture Community

Providing the global plasticulture community with access to research and studies on the use of plastics in agriculture is at the core of our mission. *Plasticulture Magazine* exemplifies this commitment, serving as a platform to share knowledge and empower stakeholders to adopt innovative, sustainable practices that drive the future of agriculture.

The Importance of Plastics in Agriculture

Plastic plays an essential role in modern agriculture. It allows farmers to increase productivity, protect crops, and use resources more efficiently. Here are some of the applications and benefits of agricultural plastics :

At CIPA, we are committed to the responsible use of plastic to enhance agricultural productivity while safeguarding the environment.

Protection and Adaptability

Agricultural plastics provide crop protection against pests, weeds, and extreme weather conditions, enabling versatile solutions that benefit both farmers and the environment, while offering solutions that reduce phytosanitary inputs.

Increased Crop
Yields

Greenhouse films, mulch, and other plastic products allow for optimized growing conditions, increasing yields and improving crop quality.

Resource
Conservation

Plasticulture products help conserve water and reduce the need for chemical inputs, contributing to healthier soils and ecosystems.

Join Our Mission for a Sustainable Future

From continental organisations to national associations, CIPA invites all stakeholders to join us in advancing sustainable agriculture. Together, we can create an agricultural sector that supports productivity and respects our planet’s resources.
