EUFRAS organises an online collaborative Forum that helps to participate and manage thematic networks and to exchange, learn and grow with like-minded professionals across the agricultural advisory sector. Forum Participants : Beatriz Cardoso (CONSULAI) AdvisoryNetPEST: Enhance EU advisory services and foster knowledge sharing to reduce the use and risk of pesticides. Paula Resana (INTIA) STRATUS; Connecting advisors across Europe to accelerate knowledge creation and sharing on Integrated Fertilization Management. Claire Morelle (IFOAM) OrganicAdviceNetwork: Build a Europe-wide network of organic advisors of varying experience levels. To register for the Coffee Break click here EUFRAS is a network of advisory organisations created in 2013 with the aim of supporting agricultural advisory services across Europe. EUFRAS' main objectives include: developing a community of advisors and defending their interests; supporting the professional development of advisors; responding to the challenges facing advisory services in agriculture and rural development.

The processes for preparing organic matter for use as fertilizer must allow for sustainable management of crop nutrition, increasing crop productivity . To achieve this, the goal is to maintain or increase organic matter levels, reducing greenhouse gas emissions and water pollution by increasing carbon sink capacity, improving soil biodiversity by avoiding contamination by heavy metals and other pollutants, and promoting their management as "living soils." This event will showcase different technologies that allow reducing the environmental impact of preparing organic fertilizer products, with strategies that allow reducing nitrogen losses, such as slurry acidification, composting and biomethanization of waste.
