Console project case study on using natural flood management to achieve multiple environmental benefits in Wharfedale.

AREFLH and NUTRIMAN invite you to participate to a short survey on biofertilizers.

ECO-ZEO was a FP7 European Project which aimed at developping a new pool of GREEN CROP PROTECTION PRODUCTS (efficient, environmentally friendly and sustainable) for agriculture, to be used as a coating of leaves and fruits in different type of vegetable and fruit crops: tomato, apple, citrus and table grape. The products are based on zeolite

Such green products are aimed at delivering a wide range of beneficial effects in terms of water use efficiency, control of pests and diseases, reduction in pesticides use, increase of crop yield and tolerance to abiotic stress (water and heat stress).

A complete multidisciplinary Consortium composed of 10 partners from 8 different countries (European Union and Associated countries) has joined to reach all these challenges. An alliance of academia (4 research organizations), 4 agro-biotech SMEs, plant protection product industry and the important contribution of end users represented by an association of fruits and vegetables producers.

The UE funding amounts a total of 2,014 M€ and the project will last 4 years starting 1st March 2012.

The consortium's partners :

EUFRUIT is an EC H2020 funded, three year project to establish a framework and a systematic approach that together bridge the ‘valley of death’ for the European fruit sector by taking a multi-actor approach and thereby increasing the connectivity and efficiency between research outcomes and implementation of knowledge and outcomes.

The project consortium consists of 21 members, including research institutes, universities, and industrial partners who represent key parts of the fruit supply chain, from 12 European countries.
