BCPC Congress
Shaping the Future of Crop Production
Harrogate, UK
Save the Date: 3-4 November 2026
Each year, the BCPC Congress brings together people who are closely involved in the direction of UK crop production – from policy and regulation through to practical application and innovation.
In November 2026, the conversation continues.
With important regulatory discussions ongoing, continued attention on resistance, and innovation shaping how crop protection is delivered, BCPC Congress 2026 provides an opportunity to reflect, share perspectives and consider how these areas are developing in practice.
What the 2026 Congress will explore
Across two days, the programme will reflect on the forces currently shaping UK crop production, including:
- UK-EU Reset, including what a new single (UK+EU) regulatory regime will look like in the future, and what this could mean in practice for the crop production sector
- An update on resistance, covering trends in resistance to crop protection inputs and how resistance considerations are influencing labelling and guidance
- Innovation in crop protection, including the use of AI in regulatory process, insights into the work of the European Precision Application Task Force, updates on digital labelling and the use of drone technology
- The EU’s Simplification Omnibus – exploring the legislative vision and practical implications for all
Sessions are designed to encourage informed discussion, with time to listen, question and connect ideas across policy, science and industry experience.
Who it’s for
BCPC Congress attracts professionals from across:
- Crop protection and agronomy
- Regulatory affairs and policy
- Farming and food production
- Research, testing, innovation and advisory roles
It’s a forum for those who value insight, context and informed debate – and who want to stay close to how decisions and developments are unfolding.
