🌽 #OrganicFarming and #agroecology can facilitate the adaptation of #agriculture to #climatechange, reducing the environmental impact of #food production. 🗣️ Have a look at the video by Professor @CamillaMoonen at the Fondazione Friuli conference in Udine, Italy (link below)

📝Let's break down the term IPM! 'Integrated pest management' (IPM) emphasises healthy crop growth with the least possible disruption to agroecosystems and encourages natural pest control mechanisms. 🧬The role of IPM in integrated breeding: 🔎Visit: ipmorama.eu

🌱 Congratulations to #LiveSeeding partner @fiblorg for a successful Open Day! 🎉 We learned about: policy and market measures towards 100% organic seeds in Europe, seed health: innovative research on seed treatments for organic agriculture... #ChangeSeedGrowDifference

🍝🇮🇹 #EUOrganic Award winner for Best Organic Food Processing SME is Gino Girolomoni, a coop specialised in organic pasta production. W/80ha organic farmland & facilities powered by renewable energy, it produces 9Mio tons of pasta/year, supporting >300 farmers & 60 local workers!

🫛Grain legumes are crucial for Europe’s plant-based protein, but face threats like Diaporthe/Phomopsis in soybean, anthracnose in white lupin, and blights, rusts, and Orobanche crenata in peas. Innovative, low-chemical strategies are needed for resilient, sustainable production.
