This project focuses on organic pome, stone, and citrus fruits and aims to strengthen the competitiveness of European organic fruit production.

The main objective of InnoSeta is to establish an innovative, self-sustaining thematic network in spraying equipment, training, and advice to contribute to bridging the gap between new, high-end crop protection solutions available—whether commercial or from applicable research results—and those applicable to everyday European farming practices.

Net Net Arable worked with 14 farmer innovation groups in 10 countries. Data from the groups showed a wide range of crop yields. This indicates a need, but also a clear possibility for improvements. Based on scientific literature and input from farmers, more than 100 materials with practical solutions have been compiled on Net Net's Arable Knowledge platform (Farmknowledge.org).

Rosewood 4.0 will collect and structure relevant best practices and innovations (BP&I) with the aim of improving the timber mobilization framework in five regional hubs. Five regional (and one interregional/transregional) roadmaps will be developed based on the prioritization of collected BP&Is that match the identified needs/challenges of the different regions.

Non-profit professional association of companies producing select seeds. Analyze, study, and address common problems that may arise depending on the seed species.

SmartProtect is a thematic network focusing on cross-regional knowledge exchange of smart Integrated Pest Management (IPM) solutions for farmers and advisors.

The Best Practice Hens (BPH) will prepare and provide practical support to egg producers to encourage them to transition from cage to cage-free systems. This applies to both the rearing of laying hens and the maintenance of laying hens during the production period.

In this project, we will develop an integrated approach to combating the main health challenges in mushroom production (parasitic fungi and bacteria). By developing a microbiota-enriched wrapping soil, we will reduce the need for pesticides and contribute to improving the productivity, sustainability, and profitability of the European mushroom sector.

Identify, summarize, share, and present existing best practices and research results; Increase the application of new cost-effective technologies by enhancing active knowledge transfer between practitioners and researchers; Mobilize more biomass and create new business opportunities in rural areas by improving and strengthening the connection between practice and science; Apply a multidisciplinar

Sm@RT uses an original interactive, transdisciplinary, and multi-stakeholder approach, based on three levels of networking: 1) a network of well-equipped demonstration farms (digifarms), 2) a network of innovative commercial farms to foster exchanges with, 3) the small ruminant industry in each country.
