Guidelines for farm-specific or crop-specific rules for mitigating pesticides impacts while ensuring sustainable agriculture

 

A LIFE project

What is Agrowise?

The Agrowise project is a part of the "LIFE Program" with the objective of providing guidelines to each member state for implementing the Sustainable Use Directive (SUD) rules at the farm? or crop? level. This project takes part in the "Farm to Fork strategy" which aims to achieve a 50% reduction in chemical pesticide? use by 2030.

Led by the French Institute "INRAE", this eighteen-month project brings together research organizations from 8 European countries. The project will collect, harmonize, and propose scientifically-backed methods and strategies of plant protection?  to reduce pesticide? use and risks for various crops?. The guidelines will promote innovative approaches to crop protection? by limiting the use of chemical pesticides? and following Integrated Pest Management (IPM)? principles.

The FORTUNA project is a three-year initiative funded by the European Union, started in January 2024. The main objective of FORTUNA is to identify future research challenges within the framework of the European Farm to Fork (F2F) Strategy. This strategy sets forth quantitative targets aiming to decrease the overall use and risk of chemical pesticides by 50%, as well as to reduce the use of more hazardous pesticides by 50% before the year 2030. They published their first Newletter. Check it here !
