🌱 Biocontrol innovations to combat pests and diseases in key EU crops 🌱 In our seventh article of the biocontrol case series, we dive into the Horizon Europe project SAGROPIA. This five-year collaboration is developing 13 low-risk biopesticides and tailored Integrated Pest Management strategies to provide sustainable alternatives for managing pests and diseases in potatoes and sugar beets. With contributions from 10 leading research institutes and agribusinesses across Europe and the U.S., SAGROPIA is helping shape the future of agriculture by integrating biocontrol into large-scale crop systems. 👉 Read the full article: https://lnkd.in/gay7ytM2 👉 Join the Biocontrol Coalition: https://lnkd.in/eP8Eajyg #Biocontrol #BiocontrolCoalition #Sustainability #Agriculture

🌿 Empowering Farmers with Sustainable Solutions! This Farmers' Toolbox is expanding pest management with practical, science-backed tools that reduce pesticide use and boost crop health. 🛠️ Discover how this resource is making sustainable farming more accessible for farmers across Europe 👉 Read the article on our blog to explore relevant tools and techniques: https://lnkd.in/d6ZAKHtX 💬 How can innovative tools like this make a difference in your region?

🌿 Did you know that potatoes and sugar beets are among Europe’s most important crops? Unfortunately, they are also some of the most vulnerable to pests and diseases, which traditionally requires stringent plant protection solutions. 🥔 At SAGROPIA, we’re committed to transforming this narrative. Our Horizon Europe-funded project is developing 13 innovative biological and low-risk pesticides to replace chemical solutions in crop protection. 💡 Here’s why this matters: ♻️ Environmental Impact: These solutions drastically reduce the environmental footprint of pest control, supporting healthier ecosystems. 🧑🌾 Farmer Benefits: By continuing to develop their practices, farmers can keep growing the healthy crops we need, and meet rising consumer demands. 🙋♀️ Consumer Confidence: Biocontrol solutions align with the growing demand for food produced in environmentally friendly ways. 🧑🔬 This year, we’re also validating these biopesticides through large-scale field trials across Europe. Our goal is to ensure they are effective, scaleable, and suitable for the diverse conditions European farmers face. ✨ Together, we’re driving a new era of Integrated Pest Management (IPM), where sustainability meets innovation.
