Plant pests cause significant declines in annual crop yields. Whiteflies alone cause hundreds of millions of euros in losses each year by transmitting harmful plant viruses. Conventional pesticides have negative environmental impacts and contribute to …

Today, pathogens in horticultural crops represent an agricultural challenge due to the use of chemical pesticides, which significantly harm the environment. Therefore, bio-based solutions appear to be an appropriate response to reduce the use of synthetic …

Can European eating habits be healthier and more sustainable? The EU-funded LIKE-A-PRO project will answer this question and more. It will explore the production of novel foods from alternative protein sources, such as rapeseed, mealworms, krill, …

Agrochemicals encompass a range of chemicals, such as fertilizers, plant biostimulants, and agricultural pesticides, used to improve crop yields by providing essential nutrients and mitigate diseases and weeds in agriculture. Despite these benefits, the …

Research for Resilient and Efficient Land Use in Europe Europe is one of the most intensively exploited continents in the world. Up to 80% of its land is used for settlements and production systems, particularly in agriculture and forestry. The EU-funded …

Faced with the increasing danger and frequency of wildfires, the EU-funded SILVANUS project will offer a new solution to improve preparedness. The key outcome of the project is the creation of a climate-resilient forest management platform to prevent and …

HEZUR EZ GEZUR is a cooperative innovation project for the development of a completely new and sustainable product based on the use of a food by-product (chicken bones) and promoting zero waste. This cooperative project will be carried out by the company …

Inappropriate antibiotic use contributes to the emergence and spread of antimicrobial resistance, recognized as a serious One Health problem. Therefore, combating bacterial infections through much more prudent antibiotic use is essential to preserve their …

The overall objective of SolACE is to support European agriculture in addressing the increasingly prevalent combined water and nutrient limitations in the coming decades. To this end, SolACE will design new crop genotypes and agroecosystem management …

ExpoSEED seeks to integrate forward and reverse genetic approaches to analyze the molecular mechanisms that control seed/grain (hereafter "seed") yield in model species and transfer the acquired knowledge to selected crops, such as legumes and cereals. …

Cold stress can severely reduce crop yields. Low temperatures restrict plant growth and development, while frost causes tissue damage. Yield losses are even more severe when cold stress occurs during the reproductive stage. The EU-funded BoostCrop project …
