🌿 Upskilling in Agriculture: Insights from the 2024 Sustainable Agronomy Conference 🌿 I’m thrilled to share that I recently participated in the 2024 Sustainable Agronomy Conference, focusing on managing soil health and addressing conservation challenges. This conference provided valuable insights into the latest strategies and innovations in sustainable agronomy, and I’m excited to apply these learnings to my work. From in-depth discussions on soil management techniques to exploring effective conservation practices, the conference has deepened my understanding of how we can promote sustainability in agriculture. Engaging with experts and peers in the field was incredibly inspiring and has motivated me to continue striving for excellence in our industry. Looking forward to implementing these new strategies and contributing to a more sustainable future in agriculture! #SustainableAgronomy #SoilHealth #Conservation #Agriculture #ProfessionalDevelopment #Upskilling

IPMWORKS IPM Decisions conference - IPM in action session showing IPM Works indeed: many examples - of which Almeria one Italian or Belgian ones - showing the importance of an holistic approach working with nature and ecosystems, with agronomy, monitoring,… including the use of biocontrol. Farmers need trainings and incentives to implement more IPM. And more biocontrol solutions in their hands as soon as possible. #biocontrol #IPM #sustainable #resilient #agriculture #foodsecurity

📢 Exciting News! A new study in the Journal of Agronomy Research reveals important findings about the Olive Quick Decline Syndrome (OQDS) in Southern Italy. This syndrome has affected millions of olive trees, and the research shows it's not just caused by one thing but by a combination of factors like fungi, soil issues, and farming practices. This study has caught the attention of experts and discussions are happening in important places.

I found this article interesting... "Current agronomy and the concept of sustainable intensification are contested. Sustainable intensification needs to include clarity about principles and practices for priority setting, an all-inclusive and explicit cost-benefit analysis, and subsequent weighing of trade-offs, based on scientifically acceptable, shared norms, thus making agriculture “green” again."
