The project “Development of innovative pharmaceutical and cosmeceutical products from industrial hemp (Cannabis sativa L.)- CannabisMed” aims to produce innovative, high added value products from industrial hemp using mainly cannabidiol (CBD) as an active ingredient. Specifically, the project will explore the possibilities of cultivation, extraction, analysis and will evaluate the biological activity of hemp in order to highlight new pharmaceutical activities of its extracts. The ultimate goal is to exploit all this information through the development of innovative compositions in modern pharmaceutical formulations, from food supplements to cosmetic products and slow transdermal release products.

The pilot project of the Operational Group ” VIO-PROSARMOGI” is financed by Action 2 “Implementation of the Operational Plan (project) of collaborations with the aim of promoting actions that demonstrate respect for the protection of the environment and adaptation to climate change” of Submeasure 16.1-16.5 “Cooperation for environmental projects, environmental practices and actions for climate change and current environmental practices” (Project Code: Μ16ΣΥΝ2-00172). This specific action is implemented within the framework of the Rural Development Program (RDP) of Greece 2014-2022 co-financed by the European Union – European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development (EAFRD).
Realising dynamic value chains for underutilised crops. RADIANT implements a suite of strategic and fully inclusive multi-actor engagement methods to co-develop solutions and tools to ensure that agrobiodiversity in the form of underutilised crops (UCs) is realised via Dynamic Value Chains (DVCs). https://www.radiantproject.eu/
VALERECO valereco.eu develops an EU-wide legume ecosystem to identify barriers and enablers of legume adoption and to provide services on the economic and environmental benefits of their inclusion into agricultural systems. In detail, VALERECO aims to:
- Develop a knowledge base on the legume ecosystem services
- Establish Living Labs to co-create and demonstrate economically and environmentally feasible solutions for legume incorporation into cropping systems
- Promote the diversified legume-derived ecosystem services across the value chain
- Experiment with innovative uses of legumes to promote biodiversity-driven farming systems
- Develop a digital legume information hub to upscale and uptake VALERECO results

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.
