ZeroParasitic is a three-year project, aiming to deliver innovative sustainable solutions to overcome broomrape plant parasitism in key Mediterranean cropping systems

This Interreg ADRION project was coordinated by the Agricultural Institute of Slovenia and Dr. Irena Bertoncelj and the intervention objective was to strengthen transnational and sectoral cooperation to improve ecological connectivity (EC) throughout Dinaric Mountains, connecting them with the Alps enabling long-term protection of biodiversity in view of current and future climatic changes.

To improve EC, eleven DINALPCONNECT partners from seven countries established a network of Pilot regions to strengthen transboundary linkages between Natura2000 sites and protected areas where EC was explored and consolidated. Joint action plans for improved EC of transboundary habitats in Pilot Regions were based on guidelines for agricultural and forestry practices protecting biodiversity.

The IPM Decisions Platform provides a “one stop shop” for decisions support in integrated pest management. It is a web-based framework providing farmers, advisors and researchers access to a wide range of Decision Support Systems and weather data from across Europe through a set of four dashboards (see below).

The operational groups involved are farming organisations, applied researchers and academic institutions across Europe. Our main objective is to communicate alternative weed control solutions of each operational group to key stakeholders through networks across the EU.

Weeds negatively affect the sustainability of EU farming systems with weed management relying to a large extent on herbicides. The reduction of pesticide use and risk has become major policy targets of Farm to Fork strategy, aiming to promote agroecology and the transition to sustainable and resilient farming systems. GOOD is a 4-year Horizon Europe project adopting multidisciplinary approach, aspired to create and evaluate Agroecological Weed Management (AWM) systems, and demonstrate that AWM adoption reduces herbicide use and enhances sustainability and resilience of cropping systems.

Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered the undoubtable source. Lorem Ipsum comes from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" (The Extremes of Good and Evil) by Cicero, written in 45 BC. This book is a treatise on the theory of ethics, very popular during the Renaissance. The first line of Lorem Ipsum, "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet..", comes from a line in section 1.10.32.

The standard chunk of Lorem Ipsum used since the 1500s is reproduced below for those interested. Sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 from "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" by Cicero are also reproduced in their exact original form, accompanied by English versions from the 1914 translation by H. Rackham.
