🌿 Field day & training session at @irtacat within #SAFWA! Topics covered: ✅ Bacillus thuringiensis in citrus IPM ✅ Vegetation cover for biological control ✅ Efficient pesticide application Training farmers for safer & more sustainable agriculture @PrimaProgram

📣 Join us in Tunisia! #SAFWA will be featured as a case study at the conference: “Outcomes, Impacts & Sustainability of PRIMA Projects” 📍 CBS (Sfax) 📅 20 May 2026 Discover how biopesticides & sustainable practices can reduce water & soil pollution 🌱💧 @PrimaProgram

How can we reduce pesticide pollution in agriculture? The @PrimaSafwa project promotes sustainable farming practices and innovative biopesticides to protect crops while preserving soil and water. 🎥 Watch the video by @MTMtinezFerrer from @irtacat to learn what biopesticides are

Students explored Bacillus thuringiensis, observing its spore/crystal complex under the microscope and learning how it can control mosquito larvae @PrimaProgram #Biopesticides #Biocontrol #Biopesticides #SustainableAgriculture

Inspiring the next generation of scientists and farmers🌱 At Université Saint-Joseph de Beyrouth @USJLiban , Mireille Kallassy introduced students to the goals of the SAFWA project @PrimaSafwa the importance of biocontrol.

How can we move from detection to decision in sustainable pest management? SAFWA will present its work on Bt-based biopesticides and farmer training to reduce land and water pollution during the NextGenBioPest clustering event. 📅 17 March | 10:30–12:00 CET

🌱 SAFWA at #IOCSO2026 Elena Fusar Poli & Michele Fontefrancesco presented an ethical mapping of agricultural systems in the Ebro Lands, linking wellbeing, equity & sustainability with farming practices.

📢 New publication by #SAFWA researchers! An ethnographic study on agriculture in the Ebro Delta by Michele Fontefrancesco and Elena Fusar highlights how farming decisions are shaped by values, traditions and constraints — not only by yields. dadarivista.com/Archivio/2025-…

We are proud of the positive reception to SAFWA’s contributions and grateful for the chance to exchange knowledge on cleaner, safer, and more resilient farming systems. 📸 Below: posters & presentation highlights from SAFWA at the event. #SAFWA #Biopesticides #IPM @PrimaProgram

IRTA’s Dr. María Teresa Martínez Ferrer, SAFWA partner, served as Convenor of the IOBC-WPRS Working Group, reinforcing the visibility of the project and strengthening collaboration with researchers and technical centres committed to sustainable IPM. 🤝✨

Great participation of the SAFWA project at the IOBC-WPRS meeting on Integrated Control in Citrus Fruit Crops, hosted by UJI and co-organized with IRTA. SAFWA played an active role throughout the event, sharing progress on sustainable pest management across the Mediterranean. 🌱

🌿 In Takelsa (Tunisia), the SAFWA project held a technical training session on sustainable citrus production. Farmers explored Bt applications for Prays citri & Citrus leafminer, IPM strategies, and conservation biocontrol. #SAFWAProject #Citrus #Biocontrol #IPM @PrimaProgram

This session combined theory and field demonstrations to strengthen participants’ capacity for safe and effective biopesticide use — key to reducing land and water pollution across Mediterranean farming. 🌍🌱 #Biopesticides #IPM #SustainableFarming #Mediterranean

📅 30 October 2025 | At Citrus Technical Center CTA of Beni Khalled, Tunisia A new #SAFWAProject training brought together farmers and technicians to improve spraying calibration and application efficiency, enhancing precision and sustainability in pest management. @PrimaProgram

🌿 The SAFWA project continues empowering Mediterranean farmers! This morning in Godall (Spain) a hands-on session on sustainable olive farming: machinery, kaolin & Bacillus thuringiensis for pest control, plus a live demo on smart spraying. #SAFWAProject @PrimaProgram

Our partner Michele Fontefrancesco presented SAFWA’s latest results at the 3rd International Online Conference on Agriculture by MDPI 🌿 The paper explores farmers’ decisions and barriers to biopesticide adoption in the Mediterranean. 🔗 sciforum.net/event/IOCAG2025 #IOCAG2025
