ENERGLIK wants to show how climate-neutral greenhouse farming and economically profitable greenhouse farming can track together

In drought periods irrigation is economically justified for some high value crops like vegetables and (early) potato.

Improved acceptance of IPM (integrated pest management) by gardeners and farmers is the goal of the SUPPORT project.

How do adapted soil management practices, particularly mulching and reduced tillage, affect water evaporation, infiltration and retention, as an adaptation mechanism against extreme weather conditions

The Cropexplore for farmers project unlocks and strengthens technical agricultural knowledge around the (very) many atypical crops that farmers could grow in function of bioeconomic processing

The aim of DroneXperience is to set up 5 training courses within the theme of drones.

Marigold cultivation, a relatively new venture, still has some remaining bottlenecks. These are addressed in GOGO2.0.

The main aims are to 1) define positive farm animal welfare and clarify its concepts, 2) identify valid approaches to assess positive animal welfare, ...
