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.
