The Programme supports cross-border cooperation in the Mediterranean area to foster innovation, environmental sustainability, and social inclusion.<\/p>\n\n\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","lab_research_afp":[],"class_list":["post-3684","research_afp","type-research_afp","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/w1.aua.gr\/efp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/research_afp\/3684","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/w1.aua.gr\/efp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/research_afp"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/w1.aua.gr\/efp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/research_afp"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/w1.aua.gr\/efp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3684"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"lab_research_afp","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/w1.aua.gr\/efp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/lab_research_afp?post=3684"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
The EONANOBIOPS project aims to revolutionize crop pest management in Mediterranean agriculture by developing and commercializing a new generation of eco-friendly nano-biopesticides derived from essential oils (EOs). These biopesticides offer an effective, biodegradable, and environmentally safe alternative to synthetic chemicals, helping address major challenges such as pesticide resistance, environmental degradation, and food safety concerns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
