This publication is a compilation of Operational Groups and Innovative Projects in the field of traceability in the agri-food, agricultural, livestock and forestry sectors in Spain and Europe.

Summary of the presentation day of the digital forestry demonstrator implemented in Atlantic kiwi within the framework of the HIBA+ project

Document defining the strategic lines and measures necessary to promote the digital transformation of the agri-food, forestry and rural sectors and the instruments provided for their implementation.

Design, development and implementation of a network of territorial implementation software systems that allows the promotion and enhancement of forest territory at municipal level in Spain with the mobilization of all agents in the sector.

Validation of the use of drones as a safe and effective alternative in comparison to applications with conventional phytosanitary products (rigorous analysis of risks, scenarios, applications and equipment).

Technology and digitalisation through different tools such as blockchain, ICT tools or Big Data, constitute efficient solutions to optimise traceability, food safety, and avoid fraud and unfair competition throughout the supply chain.

Digitalisation represents an opportunity advantage for the agricultural, livestock, forestry and agri-food sectors, in terms of the promotion and sale of their products.

This paper analyzes the willingness of mountain olive growers to participate in an agri-environmental program that promotes the partial or total abandonment of production in order to enhance the provision of environmental public goods (biodiversity and soil functionality).

The EIT Food Consumer Observatory regularly produces research reports and studies on consumer perceptions of food.

Identify food trends Key factors that will shape innovation and business strategy in the coming years, with an eye toward new social values, consumer priorities, and the forces of a changing environment.

Practical guide on soil management and soil health from the SOILBIO project

Guide to provide farmers with knowledge about the interactions that occur in the soil in relation to its biodiversity and how these influence fertility and resilience depending on the agricultural practices used by the farmer.

Traditionally, rainfed agriculture has been developed not only due to the low availability of irrigation water but also because farmers assume that applying water to crops such as wheat or sunflower is not economically viable, as that water could be used for other crops that potentially generate higher profits.

Traditionally, brined cheeses have been produced in Mediterranean countries and some near the Balkans. They are characterized by a final ripening and preservation stage immersed in brine, which gives them their firmness and characteristic saline and acidic notes.

A set of Kabuli chickpea ecotypes was evaluated in two different locations for the variables flowering date, plant height, first pod emergence date, dry grain yield, dry grain relative humidity, test weight, and 100-seed weight. The experimental design was a randomized block with three replicates. The results of the statistical analyses performed are presented in the document.

A set of chickpea entries of the Desi type from the IFAPA Legume Germplasm Bank were evaluated in two different locations for the variables flowering date, plant height, date of first pod emergence, dry grain yield, dry grain relative humidity, test weight, 100-seed weight, and protein content. The experimental design was a randomized block with three replicates.

A wide range of filamentous fungi are capable of producing different types of mycotoxins in cereals, which pose a serious risk of chronic toxicity to humans and animals. These toxins can be generated throughout the entire production cycle, with the highest levels found in raw materials (cereal grains).

A wide range of fungi are capable of producing different types of mycotoxins. In the case of aflatoxins, the most well-known producing fungi are of the Aspergillus genus. Corn is among the most affected crops.

One of the possibilities for managing and recovering plant waste is composting, minimizing transportation and processing costs to obtain a product that improves the soil's physical and chemical properties. Compost has great fertilizing value and improves the soil's water retention capacity. It also reduces leaching and the environmental impact on aquifers.

One of the key aspects for successful cultivation is the correct variety selection. This publication presents the initial results of a study on the performance of the main pistachio varieties, conducted by the Mediterranean Fruit Growing team at IFAPA.
