VEGEPOLYS VALLEY is a world-class cluster for the production (cropping practices) of specialized plants respectful of the environment, health and biodiversity. VEGEPOLYS VALLEY established two goals to face society issues:

• Create plants that will lead to a lower use of inputs and positive impacts on biodiversity, health and environment.
• Create "differentiation factor" plants to open new markets and therefore improve company's competitiveness.

VEGEPOLYS VALLEY, as partner to and a principal actor within SIVAL, is actively involved in promoting the trade fair.
SIVAL is a key event linked to both VEGEPOLYS VALLEY and the local area, and it is the only event to gather all sectors of the cluster around their production issues.
