Projects & Practice

A pig meat producing short supply chain developed a marketing strategy to strengthen its brand and increase demand for its high-quality products.

An EIP Operational Group developed and tested a unique end-to-end agroforestry production process that is sustainable, profitable for the farm and the processing company, and which benefits consumers through products made in a way that supports the environment.

An EIP Operational Group worked on the reintroduction of ancient wheat species in the context of current practices applied at farm level.

Setting up collaborative water system measures and a governance approach to increase self-sufficiency of freshwater availability for agriculture.

An EIP-AGRI Operational Group project on the use of insects for adding value to organic residues from agriculture. 

Developing an integrated identification and control system that enables the detection of pests in fields and gardens and determines the optimal time to apply protective measures.

An EIP-AGRI operational group on improving the soil’s quality and structure, using new generation microelements and microorganisms.

Using biomass residues to produce a fertiliser, which is then used to grow trees, and will, over time, improve soil quality, has led to significant financial savings for nature conservation organisations and tree nurseries.
 

A farm employing people with special needs set up a process line and an experimental kitchen, where non-commercial agricultural produce can be turned into new products.
