PataFEST is working with top European projects to make sustainable agricultural research more impactful.
PataFEST collaborates with EU-supported research initiatives to advance sustainable and resilient agricultural systems. These partnerships help shape the future of European agriculture.
These activities facilitate knowledge sharing, joint dissemination, collaborative research, and future project planning. This ongoing work demonstrates PataFEST’s commitment to strong partnerships and innovative collaboration across European research.
NEM-EMERGE: A Sister Project Addressing Soil-Borne Threats
NEM-EMERGE tackles the growing threat of parasitic nematodes in both conventional and organic farming. The project develops sustainable solutions based on optimized crop rotations, resistant plant varieties, and the use of soil’s natural antagonistic potential. These approaches are supported by monitoring and risk assessment tools to improve decision-making and reduce crop losses.
POMATO: Innovation for Disease-Resistant Crops
POMATO focuses on protecting potatoes and tomatoes from harmful bacteria by developing natural pest control methods, identifying resistance genes, and using AI-based tools for early detection. Through field validation and integrated pest management strategies, the project aims to enhance crop resilience, reduce losses, and strengthen food security.
NextGenBioPest: Towards Sustainable Crop Protection
NextGenBioPest develops innovative solutions to reduce pesticide use by combining biological control agents, RNA-based pesticides, eco-friendly chemicals, and advanced diagnostics. The project delivers a comprehensive toolkit for sustainable crop protection in key fruit and vegetable crops, validated through field trials and supported by training and stakeholder engagement.
A Shared Vision for Collaboration
Through clustering, PataFEST advance sustainable agriculture through shared innovation. Their collaboration aims to maximize impact and deliver practical solutions for farmers.
These efforts are ongoing, and PataFEST continues to seek new collaborations and opportunities for synergy. We invite you to learn more about these initiatives, connect with project teams, and explore ways to contribute to sustainable agriculture.
