@eufawready.eu

EUFAWREADY is a project funded by the European Union (under GA No 101212676) aiming to enhance EU preparedness for fall armyworm (FAW) outbreaks by developing tools for early detection, sustainable control, and reduced reliance on synthetic pesticides.

🔎 Last but not least in #EUFAWREADYSynergies: #NextGenBioPest. 🌱 The project is building a toolkit to protect fruit and vegetable crops from the hardest-to-manage pests, from biocontrol to RNA-based pesticides. 🤝 Like #EUFAWREADY, it aims to grow more while spraying less. 🔗 nextgenbiopest.eu #IPM

🔎 Synergy spotlight: #PurPest 💡 PurPest is building a sensor platform that catches pests early by picking up the chemicals plants give off when attacked. The #FallArmyworm is one of its five targets, and #EarlyDetection is a goal we share at #EUFAWREADY. 🔗 Learn more: purpest.eu #EUFAWREADYSynergies

🔎 Synergy spotlight: @forsaid.eu - building a tech-driven standard to manage #ForestPests and #pathogens via #RemoteSensing, automated ground detection, and #CitizenScience. 🤝 Like #EUFAWREADY, it's about #EarlyDetection and fast action, but in another landscape. 🔗 forsaid.eu #EUFAWREADYSynergies

🤝 In the coming weeks, meet the #HorizonEurope projects #EUFAWREADY partners with, each tackling #PlantHealth differently. 🐛 What we learn about the #FallArmyworm can help tackle other plant threats too, and vice versa. 👀 Stay tuned! 🧡 🔗 eufawready.eu/news/eufawre... #EUFAWREADYSynergies

🔎 New #OpenAccess study from @annalsapplbio.bsky.social on why #IntegratedPestManagement (IPM) uptake stalls in UK fresh produce: rules, education, social pressure, economics, and tools. 🌽 Lessons that matter for EU's readiness for #FallArmyworm (FAW), too. #EUFAWREADY #IPM

🐛 New #OpenAccess Article 🐛 Integrated pest management uptake in UK fresh produce: Barriers and opportunities #IPM #planthealth

🔎 Spotted at #EUAgRI2040: @sagropia.bsky.social on sustainable crop protection with novel biological solutions and an integrated approach. 🌽 Close to our own ground in #EUFAWREADY, where #BiologicalControl and #IPM sit at the centre of preparing Europe for #FallArmyworm (FAW).

SAGROPIA @sagropia.bsky.social

🌱 Hello from Day 2 of the #EUAgRI2040 Conference in Brussels! We’re back at our stand showcasing #SAGROPIA and our work on sustainable crop protection through novel biological solutions and an integrated approach. 📍 If you’re at the conference, come and say hello!

🌾 Happy #WorldAgricultureDay! Preparedness is the best protection. #EUFAWREADY is getting Europe ready for the #FallArmyworm with sustainable #IPM tools before it might be too late. 🤎 A big 'Thank you!' to all the farmers out there!

🐝 Dr. Tiffany Straza on why @agri4pol.eu is about far more than bees and sunflowers: it's about building a healthy relationship with nature. 🌱 That bigger picture - bridging science and nature - resonates strongly with our work at #EUFAWREADY. Watch the video in the original post👇🏽
