Corteva Agriscience is participating in the EU-funded NOVATERRA project, bringing together farmers, researchers and SMEs to investigate and develop combinations of alternative, non-synthetic products and biological control techniques for Mediterranean vineyards and olive groves. Raquel Abad, Corteva's Principal Biologist of the R D department and responsible for areas such as Biostimulants, shares the extensive trials underway, using some of Corteva's solutions to achieve sustainable progress, including INSTINCT™nitrogen stabilizer, UtrishaTM N (BlueN®) and Urisha Rhizo biostimulants.     The results so far are very promising. Raquel shares, "N reduction is possible without losing performance by stabilizing N in the root zone with INSTINCT™ and using biostimulants."     Read more about Corteva's products' role in the NOVATERRA project here:   #NOVATERRA #SustainableAgriculture #NitrogenManagement #Mediterranean 

MARINE ALGAE EXTRACTS AS ALLIES FOR SUSTAINABLE VITICULTURE The threat that climate change is triggering, in addition to the 2030 goal of reducing the use of chemical pesticides and phytosanitary products by 50% according to the European Green Pact, makes it necessary to look for innovative, effective, ecological and sustainable solutions. An example of this is the SEAWINES project funded by the Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación. In this project, strategic and ecological alternatives are being sought against fungi responsible for mildew and powdery mildew through macroalgae extracts which serve as biostimulants. These supose an interesting option to replace chemically synthesized phytosanitary products. Specifically in this project, extracts from two different algae are being tested: Ulva ohnoi and the invasive Asian alga Rugulopteryx okamurae, whose extracts have shown very good results increasing the expression of resistant genes and the activity of antioxidant enzymes. The consortium of this project is made up of the IFAPA Rancho de la Merced center (Jerez de la Frontera, Cádiz), El Toruño (Puerto de Santa María, Cádiz), Instituto de Ciencias de la Vid y del Vino (La Rioja), NEIKER BRTA and País Vasco University (UPV). https://lnkd.in/dqrxs8rz

🇪🇺 Today I attended a press conference on the first organic group certification for mountain pastures in the Asiago Plateau, comprising of 7 municipalities. It is the first case in Europe, a highly effective measure for safeguarding fertility and protecting the structure of the soil and, therefore, biodiversity of our natural heritage. Our member VALORITALIA S.R.L. is behind this initiative, and I would like to thank them for believing in it and working hard on activating this first group! Group certification is closely linked to the objectives of the #EUGreenDeal and #EUFarm2Fork of more sustainable and resilient food systems. These EU initiatives aim to reduce the environmental impact of agriculture, with organic farming and group certification playing a role in this transition. In fact, group certification is yet another step to guarantee the future of organic in Europe. Through it, small virtuous businesses, such as mountain huts, have been able to start a path towards complete traceability, with a clear reduction in control costs and administrative burdens, thus making organic more accessible and sustainable for them too. IFOAM Organics Europe believes that facilitating group certification can stimulate the growth of the organic sector, while increasing the diversity and resilience of agricultural systems, and we promote practices that ensure integrity and trust in the group certification system, ensuring that organic products meet the required high standards. If you're interested in learning more, our publication on group certification gives detailed guidelines, showcasing case studies and best practices to implement this approach: https://lnkd.in/eKsd_wha Recent farmer protests highlight concerns regarding the transition to more sustainable practices, underlining the need for support, training and equitable policies. IFOAM Organics Europe supports an open and constructive dialogue with farmers, promoting solutions that balance environmental needs with the economic vitality of farming communities.

Our research group #NEWTEC from Universidad de León participates actively in the DeliSoil - EU Mission Soil, a new project under the EU Mission ‘A Soil Deal for Europe’. Through the strengthened cooperation of a diverse EU-wide consortium, this project has been launched to develop solutions for the processing of nutrient-rich side streams from the food industry and prevent environmental risks. DeliSoil (Delivering safe, sustainable, tailored & societally accepted soil improvers from circular food production processes for boosting soil health) will advance the EU Fertiliser Regulation's goal of bringing safe and high-quality recycled fertiliser products to the market, while promoting the EU Farm to Fork strategy on sustainable farming. https://lnkd.in/dJGTh2te

🌱 AGRICORE´s 4th #Publication is here! 🌾 This paper from our partners Cooperativas Agro-alimentarias de Andalucía examines the impact of Measure 11 on #organic #olive #farming in #Andalusia, part of the 2014-2020 Rural Development Programme. 🌿 📊 Surveyed 189 organic olive farmers. 👩🌾 Discovered diverse age and gender distribution. 🌍 Uncovered knowledge gaps regarding environmental aspects. 🌞 Most farmers committed to organic methods. These findings offer a fresh perspective on Andalusia's organic olive sector, helping #policymakers create improved, sustainable #policies. 🌿 👉 #Download it at our #website: https://lnkd.in/dcsUJitq #agriresearch #EU_H2020 #OrganicFarming #Sustainability #Andalusia #AgriculturalPolicy IDENER Università degli Studi di Parma Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (AUTH) Akdeniz University AXIA Innovation EXELISIS AYESA Uniwersytet Technologiczno-Przyrodniczy im.
