[[Agroforestry]], which integrates [[forestry]] and farming, can provide multiple benefits, and planting trees on farms could help meet UK [[tree planting]] targets. In Wood For The Trees part 7, Tom Barnes of Vastern Timber visits Vallis Veg, a small farm in Somerset, to see how they've benefited from growing trees on the farm.

Tom is MD of Vastern Timber, a family owned sawmill specialising in British timber. He's working with film-maker Charly Le Marchant to make a series of short films considering the future of British forests. In this film Tom discusses agroforestry at VallisVeg.co.uk, a small farm in Frome, Somerset.

At Vallis Veg, Chris Smaje and Cordelia Rowlatt, with their team, have planted thousands of trees on their farmland. In less than twenty years, they have established [[willow]] to help manage flooding, alder and hazel as wind protection and for firewood, fruit and nut orchards, a [[market garden]], a woodland campsite, and a thriving co-operative forest school based in the newly established woodland. Chris Smaje is author of Small Farm Future, and he writes passionately [[about]] farming, politics, social and environmental issues on his very popular blog, SmallFarmFuture.org.uk

Tom talks to Cordelia and Chris about why they chose the trees they planted, and how agroforestry could bring benefits to farming and forestry.

| transcription = Hello my name is Tom Barnes, welcome back to  our series of films dedicated to the future of   British forests, woodlands and trees. These  films are where I try and balance my deep   despair at the declining state of our woodlands  with, I hope, a healthy dose of optimism that   trees, and land use more widely, have risen to  the top of the political agenda. In our last film   we identified the fact that 40% of the trees  in this country are based in small woodlands,   and how important it is to recognise and  understand the issues facing owners of these woodlands. For this episode we are going to widen  our focus, and explore options for land that is   not currently forested. We're going to have a look  at agriculture, and how farms can contribute to   increasing and improving woodland cover in the UK.  Currently, agriculture makes up about 70 percent   of the land use in the uk and only about 5% of  this is woodland cover   if we are going to meet government targets then a lot of  this is going to have to happen on agricultural land Currently in the UK agriculture - the  growing of food - and forestry - the growing   and harvesting of trees - are treated as separate  disciplines, now this may be partly cultural but   I do believe that this siloed approach has been  reinforced by the common agricultural policy,   which has for years disincentivized the planting  of trees on productive agricultural land.   However there is a way to farm that involves  food production and increased tree cover and   that is agroforestry. This concept promises  many environmental and ecological benefits.    Now agriculture is definitely not my area of expertise  so i've come to meet two people who have literary,   academic and practical experience of agroforestry. Chris Smaje author of Small Farm Future, and his   wife Cordelia Rowlatt moved into farming in 2003.  I've come to their farm near Frome in Somerset   to find out why they got into farming,  and how trees have helped transform their   land. Why do you think that trees are important  in the agricultural landscape? Well they've got so   many different functions some of them are fairly  obvious ones - obviously they have uses as timber   or livestock fodder trees - they they  do all sorts of things with water management and   protection from flooding and we've got a  little bit away from that um but in recent times   but historically people always integrated trees  with farming - traditional land use was wood pasture   where people would graze animals underneath trees  and make use of the the products from the trees as   well I think that's going to be a bigger feature  of farming again in the future. Tell us the history of your involvement at Vallis and and how  you became interested in farming. I guess it all originated from the idea of rethinking and  relocalising the food system and sort of bringing   people and and food and local farming together  - in ways that the the mainstream food   system doesn't do so much. My wife Cordelia and I  when we were living in London - this was in the   in the 90s and people were talking about climate  change and food and the global food system being   problematic and so on. We wanted to be  near a town and part of a community,   and we ended up buying this piece of land The  first thing we did actually was plant these trees   these trees were all planted over kind of the  winters of 2004 and 2005. but then we started a   market garden and a veg box scheme and that's been  the the sort of main agricultural focus here but   various other community and education projects  and kind of small holding activities here this   is Shared Earth Learning the poly tunnel  over there - and also some of the land here   and they are an educational cooperative, who  provide opportunities for kids who benefit from   being outside. It's fantastic to share land with  groups like that and also they get to use the woodland What does agroforestry mean to you and  how has it influenced the way you farm your land? I suppose really it just means sort of what it  says on the tin it's agriculture and forestry   and it's bringing those two things together - we haven't necessarily thought of this as a   explicitly as an agroforestry project, it's more  been a a way you know a case of thinking about   what sorts of land use, you know,  we we want to have and been to be honest it's been a little bit seat  of the pants um you know. We we have sat down and planned things but it's, you know, in some  ways it's been a sort of reactive process   One of the things we were trying to think about  when we're planting trees is how we can use the   space really effectively and so we have a campsite  where each pitch is a little bit separate so and   people really love it because they're not squeezed  together in a field I mean one thing on this site   is that it's quite wind exposed we've got these  brutal south westerlies ripping down from the Mendips   so if you look at the way we've planted  trees you'll see our paranoia about the the south westerly winds  You can see this one this  is a sweet chestnut it's it's quite old and it's   tiny because it's getting blasted by the wind but  if we walk deeper this way the ones at the front   are providing wind shelter for the ones behind  and they're way bigger back here This one actually is a cherry not a sweet chestnut but  even the oaks back here are way bigger. Pretty much   the first trees we planted here we interplanted  hazel with alder and so the idea was that the   hazel with a sort of bushy lower growth habit  would mix well with the taller growth habit of   the alder and provide wind protection from top to  bottom. This is the main bit of the market garden   the intensive bit where in the summer there's  things that need picking you know kind of pretty   almost every day and then of course they've got  both of those trees they've got other functions   the the the hazel hopefully gives you some nuts  and the alder is a nitrogen fixing plant   we've got hazel's or even  oak you know we don't necessarily    use it for our daily meals, but you know,  a lot of it is about   sort of multiplying functions and having a  multi-functional site, we planted somewhere   between three and four thousand trees initially and one of the things we were really keen to   be getting some crops from some of them  so chestnuts was a really prime one and I   love the idea of having chestnuts because you're  getting a carbohydrate crop. It creates different   spaces and creates some privacy in the site... and  we also were trying to create different spaces   that would add different layers for biodiversity  but also different kind of human size spaces for   things to happen and as we walk around our land  it's quite interesting to see the effect that   has because as an as a human walking through  our landscape it feels really different to   the the kind of traditionally big agriculture  scale of things and that field is actually   a similar size for us and then as you walk  all over us it's like you can get lost then   we're using the timber um you know we heat our  houses and hot water with it we don't have any   livestock at the moment for various reasons  but we have like right where we're sitting here   we've had like sheep grazing around in here and  obviously there's um you know trees can provide   fodder for for livestock and certainly in some  of the hot summers we've had a couple of years   back that was quite significant actually. Those  trees are specifically ones where you can feed   the leaves to the animals and when it was really  really dry and the sheep were in there my husband   would go in and hack some of the branches off and  drop them down for the sheep to eat so there's   a whole bunch of different things and some of  them are sort of more intensive like we do have   a little nut and fruit orchard you lavish lots of  care and attention on those trees whereas some of   the other ones you know you sort of pretty  much plant them and let them do their thing   we've got some willow down at the bottom which is  fast growing i mean we use it mostly for firewood   and it helps take take up some of the  water in a sort of wet part of the site   considering that over 70 percent of the land in  the uk is under agriculture do you think that   an agroforestry approach could help to meet  government tree planting targets? yeah I think what's attractive about that  is that it's people thinking about trees putting trees to work in the landscape  and combining it with agriculture - I think   planting more trees is great, but people can  you know you can get into this slightly sort of   haphazard tree planting and you know there's  a whole debate about climate change you know   should we really be planting trees to mitigate  climate or shouldn't we be looking more at fossil fuel use? I think if you look at tree planting  from an agroforestry lens it's sort of like the   pieces of the jigsaw come together and it totally  makes sense to plant trees you know as part of a   wider land management that's you know I think the  result would that there would be more trees in the   landscape and and they'd be delivering those  multiple benefits. Why now? What's changing that   makes now the time for an agroforestry revolution? Well I mean obviously there's bigger things going on in the political landscape like  Brexit so we're rethinking the whole   policy framework of farming, climate change is  rising up the agenda and I think there's   the whole rewilding movement, and people getting  more interested in thinking about wildlife and   interacting with with with wildlife in their  local spaces so it's a great time to be um   thinking about this and integrating trees. I mean  my concern i guess is we've got to keep thinking   about food as well. It's not it's not just  trees and it's not just wildlife, or or climate change   It's it's about producing food for  ourselves locally and that's where agroforestry   again contributes because there's the agro bit  as well as the forestry. Are you enthused by the   idea of the the the incoming ELMS policy and the  shift in focus to the provision of public good   I mean i'm enthused by it relative to the last  subsidy which was paying people for owning land, essentially   So yeah, I mean public money for public  goods makes sense my worry is that it's going   to push people into doing good  things in terms of trees in the landscape and   and biodiversity stuff but we need to  be thinking about local food production   and you know putting all these different parts of  the economy together so that good well-produced   local food is available and affordable for  everybody so um you know the the elm stuff is   maybe one part of that that's pushing in the  right direction. What are your hopes and fears   for the future of agroforestry and uk farming more  widely? Well i suppose a fear is obviously it's a   time of huge change and um the farm workforce is  quite an aging one I think a lot of people will be   perhaps thinking about getting out of farming,  and the danger there is that food   production will diminish and the government  will perhaps be thinking more in terms of   trade deals and importing food from other  countries and really what we need to be doing   is relocalizing food and and producing more of  it ourselves, integrating it better   in the landscape but our hope is that the policy framework is more geared to   thoughtful integration of trees and biodiversity  into the landscape there's a lot of young people   who are more switched on than perhaps even a few  years ago. If you could suggest one policy that   the government could implement to support the  work you're doing here what would that be? I'd probably say a carbon tax, because so much, or so many of the problems that we have   are connected with cheap fossil energy that makes  it easy to to sort of divide land uses up into   kind of single monocultural sorts of things. I mean there's loads of other reasons why carbon tax   would make sense but it would really incentivize  people to be producing food and other products   such as woodland products locally in the landscape  in a way that's not really happening at the moment   when fossil energy is so cheap. Well Cordelia it's  been uh fascinating to to find out more about your   land and how you've used the trees and  intersperse the trees with your other types of   agriculture. It would be remiss of me not to introduce the book this is Chris's book   Small Farm Future and I would recommend that all  of our viewers run out and buy a copy it's got some real insights into  small-scale farming and agroforestry   It's been fascinating to get a personal  perspective from Chris and Cordelia and   to understand the journey they've been on. Trees  have completely transformed this landscape you  wouldn't believe that less than 20 years ago  this whole area was just bare arable fields   Vallis is evidence, I think, that trees can play  a part in agriculture so one question is whether   agroforestry can contribute in a meaningful way to  government targets for tree planting, well I would say it has to, because if agricultural land takes  up 70 percent of our of our UK land area we simply   won't have enough space if we don't plant trees  on farmland. So that's it for our visit to Vallis   for the next episode we tackle growing better  trees for more productive and healthy woodlands   So thank you for watching, and please subscribe  to our channel to see more of these films.

Good pollination with efficient pollinators is a prerequisite for regular and high-quality yields in agricultural crops, especially in fruit growing.

However: The pollination performance of the honey [[bee]] is often insufficient in early flowering fruit species and cool weather. Bumblebees and mason bees, on the other hand, already pollinate at lower temperatures.

In intensively managed orchards, however, these natural pollinators are often too few in number because they lack food and habitat. In particular, they are denied access by weather protection systems. In this video, Clémence Boutry of FiBL Switzerland introduces the most important mason bee species for fruit growing and shows how their cocoons are correctly deployed.

Bumblebees and mason bees, on the other hand, also pollinate at lower temperatures. In intensively managed orchards, however, these natural pollinators are often too few in number because they lack sufficient food and habitat. In particular, they are denied access to orchards by weather protection systems. In this video we introduce the most important mason bees for fruit growing and show how their cocoons are correctly distributed. Mason bees for successful pollination in closed cherry orchards Mason bee species for fruit growing Two mason bee species are particularly important for the pollination of fruit crops: the horned mason bee and the rust-red mason bee. The horned mason bee flies at temperatures as low as 4 degrees Celsius and is particularly suitable for pollinating early flowering fruit species such as stone fruit. They are deployed about 3 days before flowering. The rust-red mason bee hatches a little later and covers a longer flowering period. They are suitable for later flowering fruit species such as apple, pear and berries. To be deployed about 10 days before flowering. Honeybees fly within a radius of 5 kilometres around their nests. The two species of mason bees, on the other hand, only search for flowers within 50-200 metres. This makes them much more efficient pollinators compared to honeybees. Spawning the cocoons The overwintered cocoons are placed in a box where air holes have been previously pierced. So that the bottom cocoons also hatch well, they may be filled in a maximum of three layers. These boxes are placed in the nesting boxes. These protect the nesting blocks. Requirements for the nesting boxes Nesting boxes need a roof that protects them from rain. Mesh wire is attached in the front to protect against birds getting in. The box must be placed at least 1 m above the ground and must be protected from pesticides. The nesting boxes should be oriented towards the south or south-east and should be placed at right angles to the rows of trees, so that the mason bees can fly directly to the trees. There should be no additional nesting facilities for mason bees near the nesting box, as this may cause problems with parasites. For good pollination of dwarf fruit trees, about 2000 cocoons per hectare are needed. More information can be found in the FiBL technical guide.

Mechanical [[weed control]] in the tree rows is one of the major differences between organic and conventional fruit growing. A machine demo was held on the organic fruit farm of Jacco Merkens in Utrecht. The demonstrated machines are:

1:01 Aedes hydraulic inter-row weeder with wire rotor

1:29 Vimas interrow wire machine from Hissink

1:55 Ladurner cultivator from Hissink

2:22 Stocker wire machine from ‘Van der Linden Fruitteelt Machines’

{{Transcription
| transcription = Subtitles: Delphy This demonstration on mechanical weed control was held in June 2021. Spring 2021 was wet due to heavy and persistent rainfall during the months of March to June. Therefore, a demonstration was held on an organic farm with many weeds under the trees. To see if machines work properly, they have to be tested under these conditions. The demo was held on the organic fruit farm of Jacco Merkens in Utrecht. The trigger for holding this demonstration was the weed situation, but also because the stocker machines are introduced on the market in the Netherlands. The machines consist of a basic frame to which a hoeing machine, a wire mower, a roller chopper, with or without a finger weeder, can be connected. The frame can be mounted in the front, the lift or the side of the tractor and can be single or double sided. The first machine is the Aedes hydraulic inter-row weeder with wire rotor. Jacco’s own machine. He uses this machine in addition to his other weeding machines. The wires cut the weeds under the trees and is used in situations of long weeds and before using the inter-row cultivating and hoeing machines that work in the soil. The working speed 6-10 km/h. The second machine is the Vimas interrow wire machine from the company Hissink. This machine also cut the weeds and doesn’t go into the soil. One set of threads lasts for 6 to 10 hectares depending on soil and speed durability. The set of threads can be adjusted mechanically in just a few steps. The working speed is 3-6 km/h. The third machine is the Ladurner cultivator from the company Hissink. The Ladurner cultivator has two rotors with blades with an adjustable working depth. Sensor bars ensure that the machine works around the trees. Most organic fruit growers in the Netherlands use a Ladurner. The machine can be used under many different conditions on different soils. Soils should not be too wet or too dry. The working speed is 2,5-3,5 km/h. The forth machine is the Stocker wire machine from the company ‘Van der Linden Fruitteelt Machines’. Build on the Stocker basic frame. The rotary mower is hydraulically driven and has 8 wires. It is used in periods when cultivators and hoeing machines cannot be not used, or to cut high weeds before using the hoeing machine. The fifth machine is the Stocker hoeing machine from the company ‘Van der Linden Fruitteelt Machines’. The machine can be connected on the Stocker basic frame. The cultivator has two hoe heads, one of them is controlled by a sensor. With an hydraulic system the height, width, depth and angle of the hoeing heads can be adjusted. The working speed is 2,5 to 4 km/h. The principle of operation is the same as the Ladurner cultivator. The last machine is the Stocker roller chopper with a finger weeder from the company ‘Van der Linden Fruitteelt Machines’. The working speed can go up to 12 km/h. The amount of iron discs can vary from 2 to 4 discs. The machine does not swing in and out along the trunk and does not have a sensor. To work around the tree a finger weeder is added. I hope you enjoyed this real-life video of an organic orchard in the Netherlands.

VivAgriLab is a Living Lab initiative , a collaborative platform that strengthens the links between research, farmers, civil society, and local governance in the south-west outskirts of the Paris region. It seeks to co-design practical, science-based solutions to ecological, agroecological, and food system challenges specific to agri-urban territories. Since 2013, by grounding scientific research in real-world local needs, VivAgriLab promotes the co-construction of knowledge and fosters sustainable transitions that are socially inclusive and territorially anchored. It encourages interdisciplinary collaboration and mutual learning between academic and non-academic stakeholders, empowering each actor to contribute to shaping resilient and sustainable futures for their territory.

At Holma Folk High School in Sweden, the community of students and teachers are continuously developing a beautiful forest garden established around 20 years ago. Through both long and short courses for grown-ups with focus on forest gardening, vegetable production, handicraft and many other subjects, the school has become a knowledge hub for persons interested in soil health and gardening in Sweden. The focus of the school is gardening with soil health in focus, and the students learn about perennial vegetables, compost, biochar, mulching and much more. In a newly started project, the school is also establishing alley cropping with fruit and nut trees combined with field crops.

Just. Yes, here we are standing Just. Yes, here we are standing Just. Yes, here we are standing among a bunch of grown vegetables. Yes, among a bunch of grown vegetables. Yes, among a bunch of grown vegetables. Yes, exactly. This is how it was. Yes, here exactly. This is how it was. Yes, here exactly. This is how it was. Yes, here we have quite a lot of bulk. So lovage, we have quite a lot of bulk. So lovage, we have quite a lot of bulk. So lovage, spinach, etc. black rot, spinach, etc. black rot, spinach, etc. black rot, cough. Etc. And uh, big snakeroot as an cough. Etc. And uh, big snakeroot as an cough. Etc. And uh, big snakeroot as an example. example. example. Can you say that what you do is test Can you say that what you do is test Can you say that what you do is test out different vegetables that work well in a out different vegetables that work well in a out different vegetables that work well in a forest farm and then you can recommend forest farm and then you can recommend forest farm and then you can recommend it to others? Yes, but exactly. And then it to others? Yes, but exactly. And then it to others? Yes, but exactly. And then you can share many of these plants so that you can share many of these plants so that you can share many of these plants so that participants can take them home. But it doesn't say participants can take them home. But it doesn't say participants can take them home. But it doesn't say that. And I also see that. And I also see that. And I also see that you have covered the ground here with friezes and that you have covered the ground here with friezes and that you have covered the ground here with friezes and Yes. So this is what we have Yes. So this is what we have Yes. So this is what we have taken down from various prunings taken down from various prunings taken down from various prunings or fellings that we then have a or fellings that we then have a or fellings that we then have a chipping machine that we fly up and chipping machine that we fly up and chipping machine that we fly up and add and it is such an incredible addition add and it is such an incredible addition add and it is such an incredible addition to our soils here. Etc. Eh to our soils here. Etc. Eh to our soils here. Etc. Eh because it can easily dry out here okay and because it can easily dry out here okay and because it can easily dry out here okay and especially now that with the climate the especially now that with the climate the especially now that with the climate the summers are getting drier it feels like. And summers are getting drier it feels like. And summers are getting drier it feels like. And yes, there is a risk that even with yes, there is a risk that even with yes, there is a risk that even with these perennial systems, we sometimes have quite these perennial systems, we sometimes have quite these perennial systems, we sometimes have quite poor soil. But the chips contribute poor soil. But the chips contribute poor soil. But the chips contribute incredibly much to maintaining that incredibly much to maintaining that incredibly much to maintaining that moisture and break down so nicely. Etc. In moisture and break down so nicely. Etc. In moisture and break down so nicely. Etc. In just one year, we have an incredibly, just one year, we have an incredibly, just one year, we have an incredibly, incredibly nice soil mix incredibly nice soil mix incredibly nice soil mix here. here. here. I still want to believe that we have a positive I still want to believe that we have a positive I still want to believe that we have a positive impact on the soil that we cultivate and that, impact on the soil that we cultivate and that, impact on the soil that we cultivate and that, um, it becomes easier um, it becomes easier um, it becomes easier every year to both pull weeds because every year to both pull weeds because every year to both pull weeds because it is moist and nice and establish it is moist and nice and establish it is moist and nice and establish plants and maintain moisture. Eh, so plants and maintain moisture. Eh, so plants and maintain moisture. Eh, so every year the idea is that both through the every year the idea is that both through the every year the idea is that both through the plants working as they do and plants working as they do and plants working as they do and shading out and contributing with nutrition, eh shading out and contributing with nutrition, eh shading out and contributing with nutrition, eh and nutrition of course, but also our and nutrition of course, but also our and nutrition of course, but also our efforts that it becomes like an efforts that it becomes like an efforts that it becomes like an earth building all the time throughout earth building all the time throughout earth building all the time throughout the forest estate. We also see where we are where the forest estate. We also see where we are where the forest estate. We also see where we are where we keep it bare. Etc. Eh, where we don't we keep it bare. Etc. Eh, where we don't we keep it bare. Etc. Eh, where we don't have cover or we don't have plants have cover or we don't have plants have cover or we don't have plants it dries out quickly. So we don't have it dries out quickly. So we don't have it dries out quickly. So we don't have much life there. You can see that. No. M. simple much life there. You can see that. No. M. simple much life there. You can see that. No. M. simple with a with a eh greptag. Etc. with a with a eh greptag. Etc. with a with a eh greptag. Etc. Here at Holm, we see many Here at Holm, we see many Here at Holm, we see many fantastic ways that you work with fantastic ways that you work with fantastic ways that you work with soil health and what do you think you soil health and what do you think you soil health and what do you think you can do to make sure that more people can start can do to make sure that more people can start can do to make sure that more people can start using this? Think of it as using this? Think of it as using this? Think of it as something preventing it, I don't think so. There something preventing it, I don't think so. There something preventing it, I don't think so. There would be access to would be access to would be access to land if, since it is not an land if, since it is not an land if, since it is not an annual crop, you plant trees, annual crop, you plant trees, annual crop, you plant trees, you might feel that yes, if I am going to buy a you might feel that yes, if I am going to buy a you might feel that yes, if I am going to buy a tree, it will cost money and then tree, it will cost money and then tree, it will cost money and then I don't know if it can stand here or something. So that would I don't know if it can stand here or something. So that would I don't know if it can stand here or something. So that would be number one. And be number one. And be number one. And number two is maybe just more that you number two is maybe just more that you number two is maybe just more that you feel uh uh unsure about starting. But feel uh uh unsure about starting. But feel uh uh unsure about starting. But we find ourselves here through Sweden's oldest we find ourselves here through Sweden's oldest we find ourselves here through Sweden's oldest forest cleaner, which has been around for 21 forest cleaner, which has been around for 21 forest cleaner, which has been around for 21 years. Yes. So what you see here is a fairly years. Yes. So what you see here is a fairly years. Yes. So what you see here is a fairly large, large, large, lush garden. Thinking that way, lush garden. Thinking that way, lush garden. Thinking that way, I can't just do that and you ca I can't just do that and you ca I can't just do that and you ca n't. But what you can start with is a n't. But what you can start with is a n't. But what you can start with is a tree, some bushes and some tree, some bushes and some tree, some bushes and some ground covers. Yes. At 10 square and that ground covers. Yes. At 10 square and that ground covers. Yes. At 10 square and that 's a start. And then you can scale up 's a start. And then you can scale up 's a start. And then you can scale up after you've noticed which after you've noticed which after you've noticed which plants I want to eat, which ones work well plants I want to eat, which ones work well plants I want to eat, which ones work well here. Eh, and how is the soil we work here. Eh, and how is the soil we work here. Eh, and how is the soil we work with? M. So really, there are no with? M. So really, there are no with? M. So really, there are no big obstacles. It's more about daring to get big obstacles. It's more about daring to get big obstacles. It's more about daring to get started, I think, in many cases. Yes started, I think, in many cases. Yes started, I think, in many cases. Yes . And here it is, the stock plantation. . And here it is, the stock plantation. . And here it is, the stock plantation. Would you like to tell us a little about? Yes. Certainly. Well, this Would you like to tell us a little about? Yes. Certainly. Well, this Would you like to tell us a little about? Yes. Certainly. Well, this is when we cut down trees is when we cut down trees is when we cut down trees so we try to see which logs so we try to see which logs so we try to see which logs are good for mushroom cultivation and then are good for mushroom cultivation and then are good for mushroom cultivation and then because it's also something that we can because it's also something that we can because it's also something that we can grow some food from, uh, in wood. grow some food from, uh, in wood. grow some food from, uh, in wood. Eh, and then in the spring and winter we have Eh, and then in the spring and winter we have Eh, and then in the spring and winter we have moments where we and the participants are moments where we and the participants are moments where we and the participants are grafting these logs. So we drill grafting these logs. So we drill grafting these logs. So we drill holes and then we have stuffing that we holes and then we have stuffing that we holes and then we have stuffing that we push in there. Eh, push in there. Eh, push in there. Eh, I can say we buy the mycelium, we don't make it I can say we buy the mycelium, we don't make it I can say we buy the mycelium, we don't make it ourselves. Eh, and then we'll wax the ourselves. Eh, and then we'll wax the ourselves. Eh, and then we'll wax the end, eh, we'll wax that hole and then end, eh, we'll wax that hole and then end, eh, we'll wax that hole and then we'll put up the ones standing here in the back we'll put up the ones standing here in the back we'll put up the ones standing here in the back waiting for the mussel to spread. waiting for the mussel to spread. waiting for the mussel to spread. Etc. Eh, and then once they've done Etc. Eh, and then once they've done Etc. Eh, and then once they've done it, we see that they've done it and in terms of time, it, we see that they've done it and in terms of time, it, we see that they've done it and in terms of time, we think it's we think it's we think it's gone so far that we lower them into gone so far that we lower them into gone so far that we lower them into water and then we set them up here and then water and then we set them up here and then water and then we set them up here and then we try to lower some into water, uh we try to lower some into water, uh we try to lower some into water, uh like this, but ten at a time like this, but ten at a time like this, but ten at a time and then it triggers uh and then it triggers uh and then it triggers uh fruiting and fruiting is fruiting and fruiting is fruiting and fruiting is when the mushrooms that come out here, cheese when the mushrooms that come out here, cheese when the mushrooms that come out here, cheese straw slicing is what we're mainly straw slicing is what we're mainly straw slicing is what we're mainly looking for here. What do you do with your socks looking for here. What do you do with your socks looking for here. What do you do with your socks when you have no more? Yes, it's when you have no more? Yes, it's when you have no more? Yes, it's nice compost so we've kind of laid nice compost so we've kind of laid nice compost so we've kind of laid them on the side, uh, of a bed edge and such. them on the side, uh, of a bed edge and such. them on the side, uh, of a bed edge and such. And the fun thing about mushroom stalks is And the fun thing about mushroom stalks is And the fun thing about mushroom stalks is that you can look at them and think this that you can look at them and think this that you can look at them and think this will never yield anything. It's will never yield anything. It's will never yield anything. It's already so good that it almost breaks when already so good that it almost breaks when already so good that it almost breaks when you hold it. So even with that, you hold it. So even with that, you hold it. So even with that, there can still be life in it and there can still be life in it and there can still be life in it and then if they are put into the soil where they have then if they are put into the soil where they have then if they are put into the soil where they have access to moisture, then access to moisture, then access to moisture, then fungus will grow. But if you don't do that, fungus will grow. But if you don't do that, fungus will grow. But if you don't do that, just fine decomposition and a bed edge and just fine decomposition and a bed edge and just fine decomposition and a bed edge and you'll get the trees into the compost system you'll get the trees into the compost system you'll get the trees into the compost system safely. Yes. Yes. So the whole tree if it is safely. Yes. Yes. So the whole tree if it is safely. Yes. Yes. So the whole tree if it is not set on fire Mm. erm in the form of flies not set on fire Mm. erm in the form of flies not set on fire Mm. erm in the form of flies and then mushroom stalks coming back and then mushroom stalks coming back and then mushroom stalks coming back to earth here. Etc. to earth here. Etc. to earth here. Etc. And here we are at a project that you And here we are at a project that you And here we are at a project that you have recently started. Yes. The project have recently started. Yes. The project have recently started. Yes. The project is called Mellanrader. It is a three-year project is called Mellanrader. It is a three-year project is called Mellanrader. It is a three-year project funded by the EU through Lider. funded by the EU through Lider. funded by the EU through Lider. which we have together with which we have together with which we have together with the nature conservation association here in Hör and eh the nature conservation association here in Hör and eh the nature conservation association here in Hör and eh the center which is a local association. Oh, the center which is a local association. Oh, the center which is a local association. Oh, and it's an area of just under a and it's an area of just under a and it's an area of just under a hectare. Etc. Like the idea of having a hectare. Etc. Like the idea of having a hectare. Etc. Like the idea of having a large-scale aroforestry system for us. large-scale aroforestry system for us. large-scale aroforestry system for us. Etc. Eh, and the name between the lines refers to the fact that Etc. Eh, and the name between the lines refers to the fact that Etc. Eh, and the name between the lines refers to the fact that we work with the we work with the we work with the flexibility of what can happen flexibility of what can happen flexibility of what can happen between the lines. Etc. between the lines. Etc. between the lines. Etc. Eh, and a bit like this, the meetings between borders, Eh, and a bit like this, the meetings between borders, Eh, and a bit like this, the meetings between borders, uh, across borders. So very new. So we uh, across borders. So very new. So we uh, across borders. So very new. So we just got it plowed and just got it plowed and just got it plowed and covered a bed here. So these are our covered a bed here. So these are our covered a bed here. So these are our tree beds then. Exactly. So it's tree beds then. Exactly. So it's tree beds then. Exactly. So it's basically an avenue farming system. It is basically an avenue farming system. It is basically an avenue farming system. It is an avenue cultivation system. Yes. Eh, so we're an avenue cultivation system. Yes. Eh, so we're an avenue cultivation system. Yes. Eh, so we're scaling up for ourselves and the hope is scaling up for ourselves and the hope is scaling up for ourselves and the hope is partly because we want to produce more food partly because we want to produce more food partly because we want to produce more food here for ourselves. Eh, and that we eat here for ourselves. Eh, and that we eat here for ourselves. Eh, and that we eat more, even more of what we produce more, even more of what we produce more, even more of what we produce at this school. at this school. at this school. uh and to get more trees in the landscape and uh and to get more trees in the landscape and uh and to get more trees in the landscape and to show this because it's to show this because it's to show this because it's still quite new for many and we still quite new for many and we still quite new for many and we think that those of us who don't have a lot of think that those of us who don't have a lot of think that those of us who don't have a lot of land uh if we can do this on one land uh if we can do this on one land uh if we can do this on one hectare how would it be like it would have hectare how would it be like it would have hectare how would it be like it would have started thought processes among farmers those who started thought processes among farmers those who started thought processes among farmers those who have a lot of land who have machines who have a have a lot of land who have machines who have a have a lot of land who have machines who have a lot of knowledge just uh to do lot of knowledge just uh to do lot of knowledge just uh to do this on a completely different level. So this is like this on a completely different level. So this is like this on a completely different level. So this is like really horse bedding for more really horse bedding for more really horse bedding for more agricultural scale. Yes, and then all agricultural scale. Yes, and then all agricultural scale. Yes, and then all these rows should have slightly different eh ideas or these rows should have slightly different eh ideas or these rows should have slightly different eh ideas or like eh yes but we have a bed that is like eh yes but we have a bed that is like eh yes but we have a bed that is maybe more shaded eh and and one that is maybe more shaded eh and and one that is maybe more shaded eh and and one that is more exposed to the sun. So we have further more exposed to the sun. So we have further more exposed to the sun. So we have further up on the hill it's very dry up on the hill it's very dry up on the hill it's very dry and down here it's a bit very humid and and down here it's a bit very humid and and down here it's a bit very humid and here it's quite humid. Eh, so then here it's quite humid. Eh, so then here it's quite humid. Eh, so then we can test some different combinations of we can test some different combinations of we can test some different combinations of trees and see what works best. And then trees and see what works best. And then trees and see what works best. And then we have the knowledge from what we have we have the knowledge from what we have we have the knowledge from what we have already done that we know that this already done that we know that this already done that we know that this works well here. Etc. Well then works well here. Etc. Well then works well here. Etc. Well then we know that we can most likely make we know that we can most likely make we know that we can most likely make it work here too. But then it work here too. But then it work here too. But then we can also test other things that we haven't we can also test other things that we haven't we can also test other things that we haven't tested to the same extent or other tested to the same extent or other tested to the same extent or other feet. Just. feet. Just. feet. Just. Um, what are you going to grow in between? Um, what are you going to grow in between? Um, what are you going to grow in between? Yes, this year there will at least be Yes, this year there will at least be Yes, this year there will at least be potatoes between two rows there. Etc. Eh, potatoes between two rows there. Etc. Eh, potatoes between two rows there. Etc. Eh, then in the future we'll see, it's a bit of a then in the future we'll see, it's a bit of a then in the future we'll see, it's a bit of a question of eh how many people are question of eh how many people are question of eh how many people are involved. Etc. Uh, so we have some involved. Etc. Uh, so we have some involved. Etc. Uh, so we have some open working days for uh for others open working days for uh for others open working days for uh for others who are not taking a course here to come. Ehm, who are not taking a course here to come. Ehm, who are not taking a course here to come. Ehm, eh, cereal was up for discussion, but eh, cereal was up for discussion, but eh, cereal was up for discussion, but it's not really anything we do it's not really anything we do it's not really anything we do otherwise and know that much otherwise and know that much otherwise and know that much about. So right now it's on hold. Eh, about. So right now it's on hold. Eh, about. So right now it's on hold. Eh, but we want to grow more peas because we but we want to grow more peas because we but we want to grow more peas because we can make so much of it and because can make so much of it and because can make so much of it and because it's a green gosling in itself. Eh, we it's a green gosling in itself. Eh, we it's a green gosling in itself. Eh, we want to take and hit eh and take pasture. Etc. Erm, want to take and hit eh and take pasture. Etc. Erm, want to take and hit eh and take pasture. Etc. Erm, which you should use as a ground drawing. which you should use as a ground drawing. which you should use as a ground drawing. Yes, ground cover. We cover almost everything Yes, ground cover. We cover almost everything Yes, ground cover. We cover almost everything here. Eh, right now it's spring so there's here. Eh, right now it's spring so there's here. Eh, right now it's spring so there's more that's nasty eh right now. But more that's nasty eh right now. But more that's nasty eh right now. But otherwise, we work a lot with otherwise, we work a lot with otherwise, we work a lot with covering materials. covering materials. covering materials. So this becomes in a way a way for So this becomes in a way a way for So this becomes in a way a way for you to get more cover material than those embankments. Yes you to get more cover material than those embankments. Yes you to get more cover material than those embankments. Yes . And then we see those bales . And then we see those bales . And then we see those bales here. It's not from us. So it would here. It's not from us. So it would here. It's not from us. So it would be of even greater interest because then be of even greater interest because then be of even greater interest because then we wouldn't have to import it either. Again, to we wouldn't have to import it either. Again, to we wouldn't have to import it either. Again, to show this, but what can we show this, but what can we show this, but what can we do with what we have without do with what we have without do with what we have without importing too much that will be grown importing too much that will be grown importing too much that will be grown with tractors and fossil fuels and with tractors and fossil fuels and with tractors and fossil fuels and then shipped here and then we'll kind of then shipped here and then we'll kind of then shipped here and then we'll kind of take all that nutrition from there and put take all that nutrition from there and put take all that nutrition from there and put it here. But if we have the opportunity, it here. But if we have the opportunity, it here. But if we have the opportunity, we want to do it ourselves just to make we want to do it ourselves just to make we want to do it ourselves just to make this circular. We are facing so this circular. We are facing so this circular. We are facing so many big challenges. Etc. Eh, and many big challenges. Etc. Eh, and many big challenges. Etc. Eh, and this is a way to maybe this is a way to maybe this is a way to maybe unwind from that stress, that unwind from that stress, that unwind from that stress, that anxiety. Etc. uh, do something anxiety. Etc. uh, do something anxiety. Etc. uh, do something practical that you can literally see practical that you can literally see practical that you can literally see grow. So that's the whole thing about grow. So that's the whole thing about grow. So that's the whole thing about green therapy and the reason why green therapy and the reason why green therapy and the reason why people usually feel good when they get their people usually feel good when they get their people usually feel good when they get their hands in the soil. They have this hands in the soil. They have this hands in the soil. They have this land contract. Those who see that they have land contract. Those who see that they have land contract. Those who see that they have done something practical that leads done something practical that leads done something practical that leads to something good, dare to try it. And because to something good, dare to try it. And because to something good, dare to try it. And because I work with the I work with the I work with the forest cleaning department, I think we forest cleaning department, I think we forest cleaning department, I think we need more people. We need more need more people. We need more need more people. We need more trees and shrubs. Mm. Mm. ing food in our trees and shrubs. Mm. Mm. ing food in our trees and shrubs. Mm. Mm. ing food in our landscapes. Etc. So my hope is that landscapes. Etc. So my hope is that landscapes. Etc. So my hope is that more people will try and more people will try and more people will try and dare to try and dare to fail. Eh, because dare to try and dare to fail. Eh, because dare to try and dare to fail. Eh, because the worst thing that happens is that we the worst thing that happens is that we the worst thing that happens is that we create compost. create compost. create compost. Oh well, then you can try again. Yes. And that's what makes it Oh well, then you can try again. Yes. And that's what makes it Oh well, then you can try again. Yes. And that's what makes it so worth it. It's so so worth it. It's so so worth it. It's so important. Etc. Eh, and yes, I personally can't imagine important. Etc. Eh, and yes, I personally can't imagine important. Etc. Eh, and yes, I personally can't imagine a better way to a better way to a better way to find something to spend my time on. So that's why find something to spend my time on. So that's why find something to spend my time on. So that's why I don't have much more besides I don't have much more besides I don't have much more besides this. And I do the same thing at home. Eh, this. And I do the same thing at home. Eh, this. And I do the same thing at home. Eh, so that's my life because it feels so that's my life because it feels so that's my life because it feels so positive and valuable and eh like this, so positive and valuable and eh like this, so positive and valuable and eh like this, I never get I never get I never get bored. I know there is a bored. I know there is a bored. I know there is a lot to do. Eh, and that it leads lot to do. Eh, and that it leads lot to do. Eh, and that it leads to something good. It's about food and to something good. It's about food and to something good. It's about food and aesthetics and pollination and better aesthetics and pollination and better aesthetics and pollination and better soil health and it has so many soil health and it has so many soil health and it has so many knock-on effects. Etc. And hope too. And knock-on effects. Etc. And hope too. And knock-on effects. Etc. And hope too. And hope. Yes. Yes. Some kind of hope. Yes. Yes. Some kind of hope. Yes. Yes. Some kind of change in society is required. And then change in society is required. And then change in society is required. And then if we then reach a point where there is some kind of if we then reach a point where there is some kind of if we then reach a point where there is some kind of crisis. Yes crisis. Yes crisis. Yes . What do we do then? Many will stand there and . What do we do then? Many will stand there and . What do we do then? Many will stand there and not know. But then we built it up. We not know. But then we built it up. We not know. But then we built it up. We have tested a lot. Then we can say yes, but have tested a lot. Then we can say yes, but have tested a lot. Then we can say yes, but this works here and this works this works here and this works this works here and this works here and it hasn't worked. And then here and it hasn't worked. And then here and it hasn't worked. And then you might have some clues as to how to you might have some clues as to how to you might have some clues as to how to proceed with it. But the best thing is proceed with it. But the best thing is proceed with it. But the best thing is if there are several people doing this if there are several people doing this if there are several people doing this and several people building up this and several people building up this and several people building up this knowledge. knowledge. knowledge. Eh, and also the genetic aspect that we get Eh, and also the genetic aspect that we get Eh, and also the genetic aspect that we get several that we can take advantage of from several that we can take advantage of from several that we can take advantage of from cuttings of delantars. Eh, so we cuttings of delantars. Eh, so we cuttings of delantars. Eh, so we can share it. Etc. So you here can share it. Etc. So you here can share it. Etc. So you here at Holma are actually a node for at Holma are actually a node for at Holma are actually a node for all of this, you could say. all of this, you could say. all of this, you could say.

Carlo Canale, forestry worker, talks about the importance of forest soils and the ecosystem services they provide to humans. These include timber production, their role in water filtration, food production, and their function in climate mitigation through carbon storage.

Carlo also describes some of the best practices they have conducted, among them the use of biodegradable oils for machinery and chainsaws to avoid soil and water pollution, the use of appropriate forestry equipment to avoid soil compaction and landslides.

Vitália Víg, a recognised soil ecologist shares her thoughts about soil health and the importance of composting not just in agricultural production, but in small scale as well. We can produce or cultivate microorganisms in compost, fungi, bacteria and higher consumers which, once in the soil, can provide the nutrient cycle and other ecosystem services. We should look at the raw materials that we can compost not just waste, but a valuable resource, that we can use to create healthy soils and healthy crops.

A group of Zugló (XIV. district of Budapest) residents decided that they wanted to create a community garden in their district. In the autumn of 2012, they established the ZUG Community, and on 1 February 2013, they founded the ZUG Civil Society for Zugló Community Gardens. On 13 June 2013, the ZUG Community Gardens Association was officially registered.

Their aim is to create an urban green space, together with the residents of Zugló who wish to join them, where local residents can grow vegetables and fruit for themselves, and which also functions as a community space, hosting a variety of events and meetings, thus strengthening the cohesion of the local community.

Interview with Francisco Javier Piris, farmer at Huertas del Abrilongo.

The "Las Huertas del Abrilongo" Project (LHA) seeks to demonstrate that it is possible to sustainably inhabit a land, regenerating the native forest that once covered it, while doing in a way that is sustainable not only environmentally, but also economically.

Basically, the LHA Project seeks to create a Mediterranean forest in 25 of the 31 hectares. that makes up the farm that is already managed. In the remaining 5 hectares, an edible forest will be created, where fruit trees will be interspersed with native plants. The remaining hectare corresponds to the orchard, the true heart and driving force of this project.

{{Transcription
| transcription = Soil conservation agriculture is a production approach aimed at combining three main principles, which are the crops diversification in space and time, the maximization of soil cover duration, either by living plants, cash crops or cover crops, or by mulches such as decomposing residues, dead residues, and the significant reduction, or even the elimination of tillage to minimize soil disturbance caused by agricultural tools. The three main sets of practices mobilized will make it possible to improve the organic matter contents in the soils, to restore soil stability, to improve water retention and promote satisfactory macro and microbiological biological activity and thus allow the farmer, ultimately, to reduce the use of inputs and maintain satisfactory agricultural productivity. Combinations of practices favorable to soil fertility are, first of all, maintaining soil cover with living plants for as long as possible to have the most intense and diversified biological activity possible. In the main principles of conservation agriculture, we find the main practices aimed at improving soil water dynamics and, in particular, the water infiltration into the soils, protecting the surface of the soil by plants or mulches, therely, reducing raindrop kinetic energy as it dampens the energy of the water droplets. The root network associated with biological activity of earthworms or nematodes which will also create bioporosity which will promote the infiltration of water into our soils. Minimizing soil tillage, maximizing organic matter return contribute to improving the stability of the aggregates, thereby reducing erosion risks since we have aggregates which will react better to the actions of rain, be less disintegrated, create less fine soil and therefore less associated erosion. By making our systems evolve through these practices, reducing tillage, putting back organic matter, the entire biological system evolves. This fosters plants allies such as mycorrhizae for example. It produce mycelial filaments which further contribute to soil aggregates stability. Understanding the interaction between plants and micro-organisms, particularly mycorrhizal ones, and the roles that can play in crop sustem resilience is crucial. Another very interesting point is how mycorrhizae facilitate plant-to-plant connection and exchange elements. We manage to have a trophic network which is put in place through this symbiosis. Today, one of the main issues around conservation agriculture systems concerns varietal selection, with varieties that would be adapted to these systems in which the levels of constraints can be high. So the absence of tillage generates a soil that is denser, with less porosity created by mechanical tools since these operations no longer take place. And so we need to have plants whose roots are capable of colonizing and exploiting the resources of the environment. At the INRAE estate in Toulouse, we have a phenomobile enabling observations of certain aerial plants features correlated with manual root systems observations. And that allows us to move much faster on screening and evaluating varieties more suited to this specific cropping system. In terms of phytosanitary products use, such as insecticides, fungicides and herbicides, conservation agriculture systems can be virtuous on the first two. But, it is much more difficult with herbicides. However, today, alternative strategies are emerging on the issue.In researching, we are exploring the ways of sustainably doing without herbicides and in particular glyphosate by accepting very localized tillage. The tools will manage the weed flora without turning the soil considerably over 25 cm, for example, as a plow does. We work on 2-3 cm and we manage our plant cover and part of the weed flora through this very localized work. Soil conservation agricultural systems, mobilizing these three sets of practices between crop diversification, maximum soil coverage and reduction of tillage, through the improvements in soil functioning that they generate, can really help to contribute to mitigate the effects of climate change and to adapt our cropping systems to these effects.

Faced with this functionality. Faced with this functionality. Faced with this situation, we realize that soil situation, we realize that soil situation, we realize that soil is completely fragmented in is completely fragmented in is completely fragmented in French regulations, and it's the same, incidentally, French regulations, and it's the same, incidentally, French regulations, and it's the same, incidentally, in the in the in the regulations of other European Union member states. Can we regulations of other European Union member states. Can we imagine a tool that would allow for imagine a tool that would allow for imagine a tool that would allow for harmonization, or at least establish a harmonization, or at least establish a harmonization, or at least establish a general framework for soil regulations general framework for soil regulations general framework for soil regulations in order to protect it, or at least in order to protect it, or at least in order to protect it, or at least to exploit it sustainably? to exploit it sustainably? to exploit it sustainably? Indeed, within the framework of the Indeed, within the framework of the Indeed, within the framework of the Natural Resources Package in 2022, the Natural Resources Package in 2022, the Natural Resources Package in 2022, the European Commission presented a European Commission presented a European Commission presented a draft directive on draft directive on draft directive on soil monitoring and resilience. soil monitoring and resilience. soil monitoring and resilience. This system is structured around three main This system is structured around three main This system is structured around three main mechanisms: the mechanisms: the mechanisms: the establishment of a harmonized system for establishment of a harmonized system for establishment of a harmonized system for monitoring soil health, the monitoring soil health, the monitoring soil health, the definition of sustainable management and definition of sustainable management and definition of sustainable management and best practices regarding best practices regarding best practices regarding soil use, and finally, an soil use, and finally, an soil use, and finally, an assessment of... The risks to assessment of... The risks to assessment of... The risks to human health and the environment related to human health and the environment related to human health and the environment related to land use are significant. When we land use are significant. When we land use are significant. When we take stock of all these take stock of all these take stock of all these texts and draft texts, we texts and draft texts, we texts and draft texts, we realize that one element is always missing realize that one element is always missing realize that one element is always missing from the regulations: the consideration from the regulations: the consideration from the regulations: the consideration of biodiversity.

This means that a given soil of a account. This means that a given soil of a account. This means that a given soil of a certain quality should correspond to a specific certain quality should correspond to a specific certain quality should correspond to a specific use, or conversely, should prohibit a certain use. use, or conversely, should prohibit a certain use. use, or conversely, should prohibit a certain use. And such other types And such other types And such other types of resource use, function, service— of resource use, function, service— of resource use, function, service— ultimately, we realize that the only ultimately, we realize that the only ultimately, we realize that the only place is relegated to the simple status place is relegated to the simple status place is relegated to the simple status of an accessory.

Perhaps the solution to recognize its full and complete place would be, as was done to recognize its full and complete place would be, as was done for water, to admit that it is part for water, to admit that it is part for water, to admit that it is part of the nation's common heritage. So, of the nation's common heritage. So, of the nation's common heritage. So, ultimately, is the law lagging behind ultimately, is the law lagging behind ultimately, is the law lagging behind in addressing these issues? In in addressing these issues?

Héloïse Even, programme manager for biowaste, biomass and circular economy at the Pays de la Loire Regional Council tells us about the “ConcerTo Methodology” (territorial consultation on organic matter) in the Pays de la Loire region (FR). Between June 2020 and November 2022, this concrete, operational, multi-stakeholder action plan enabled the region to define the success factors for developing collective projects related to organic matter. Before detailing the impact and follow-up of the approach, she explains the origins of this methodology and its benefits for the territory regarding organic matter and soils.

Yes, indeed, I your role in the Loire region? Yes, indeed, I work for the Pays de la Loire region, specifically in the department for work for the Pays de la Loire region, specifically in the department for energy and environmental transition, energy and environmental transition, and in charge of the organic loop of and in charge of the organic loop of and in charge of the organic loop of the circular economy. Thank you very much. the circular economy. Thank you very much. the circular economy. Thank you very much.

CONER methodology within the Pays de la Loire region. CONER methodology within the Pays de la Loire region. Could you explain a little about what Could you explain a little about what Could you explain a little about what this methodology is and what this methodology is and what this methodology is and what its objective is? It's essentially its objective is? It's essentially its objective is? It's essentially a guide created by the a guide created by the a guide created by the French government for the energy transition, aiming to French government for the energy transition, aiming to French government for the energy transition, aiming to manage all manage all manage all organic matter at a territorial level. It involves organic matter at a territorial level. It involves organic matter at a territorial level. It involves the actors who are the actors who are the actors who are producers, collectors, or users producers, collectors, or users producers, collectors, or users of this organic matter in order to create of this organic matter in order to create of this organic matter in order to create a local loop and optimize the a local loop and optimize the a local loop and optimize the use of these materials. Thank you. And so, use of these materials. Thank you. And so, use of these materials. Thank you. And so, with this methodology, what with this methodology, what with this methodology, what benefits can be generated for benefits can be generated for benefits can be generated for agricultural soils or other soils that are of agricultural soils or other soils that are of agricultural soils or other soils that are of interest? Actually, the methodology involves interest? Actually, the methodology involves interest? Actually, the methodology involves creating an ecosystem of actors creating an ecosystem of actors creating an ecosystem of actors who are somewhat interconnected but don't necessarily know each other. This leads them to get to know and who are somewhat interconnected but don't necessarily know each other. This leads them to get to know and understand each other better. When we start talking about the understand each other better. When we start talking about the understand each other better. When we start talking about the organic matter in a given area, the organic matter in a given area, the organic matter in a given area, the ultimate goal, whatever ultimate goal, whatever ultimate goal, whatever the value chain and the value chain and the value chain and journey of this material, is its return journey of this material, is its return journey of this material, is its return to the soil. So, it was very to the soil. So, it was very to the soil. So, it was very important to always show that whether we important to always show that whether we important to always show that whether we pursue a valorization method through pursue a valorization method through pursue a valorization method through composting or methanization, there is, at composting or methanization, there is, at composting or methanization, there is, at some point, a return to the soil. There's some point, a return to the soil. There's some point, a return to the soil. There's a benefit to this organic matter a benefit to this organic matter a benefit to this organic matter returning to the soil, within the returning to the soil, within the returning to the soil, within the most local territorial context possible. That was what most local territorial context possible. That was what most local territorial context possible. That was what was great: bringing together was great: bringing together was great: bringing together all these actors who knew each other, working towards all these actors who knew each other, working towards this common goal of this common goal of this common goal of returning to the soil. returning to the soil. returning to the soil. Thank you very much.

Could you tell us a 2020. Could you tell us a 2020. Could you tell us a little about the changes in Concerto and what's little about the changes in Concerto and what's little about the changes in Concerto and what's next for Concerto?

The Concerto methodology is finished, but there's a continuation, Concerto methodology is finished, but there's a continuation, Concerto methodology is finished, but there's a continuation, I understand. In fact, I understand. In fact, I understand. In fact, based on this guide, LAADEM wanted to based on this guide, LAADEM wanted to based on this guide, LAADEM wanted to develop it further because it develop it further because it develop it further because it was difficult for was difficult for was difficult for potential users to adopt. So, we potential users to adopt. So, we potential users to adopt. So, we tested this methodological approach of tested this methodological approach of tested this methodological approach of consultation for two and a half years, consultation for two and a half years, consultation for two and a half years, starting in September 2020 and concluding starting in September 2020 and concluding starting in September 2020 and concluding in November in November in November 2022. Now, 2022. Now, 2022. Now, thanks to this period of consultation and thanks to this period of consultation and thanks to this period of consultation and facilitation, we understand that this facilitation, we understand that this facilitation, we understand that this methodology had interest and met the methodology had interest and met the methodology had interest and met the expectations of stakeholders. Therefore, we are expectations of stakeholders. Therefore, we are expectations of stakeholders. Therefore, we are continuing in this spirit, continuing in this spirit, continuing in this spirit, particularly through what are called particularly through what are called particularly through what are called methodology ideation workshops, and by methodology ideation workshops, and by methodology ideation workshops, and by facilitating the community of stakeholders facilitating the community of stakeholders facilitating the community of stakeholders that we created after this that we created after this that we created after this project. There are about a hundred project. There are about a hundred project. There are about a hundred organizations that remain committed to organizations that remain committed to organizations that remain committed to the approach, and so we are the approach, and so we are the approach, and so we are continuing. Even though the continuing. Even though the continuing. Even though the Concerto test is finished, we are continuing to facilitate Concerto test is finished, we are continuing to facilitate Concerto test is finished, we are continuing to facilitate this approach, which we will now call this approach, which we will now call this approach, which we will now call integrated and collaborative management of integrated and collaborative management of integrated and collaborative management of organic matter and its organic matter and its organic matter and its stakeholders. Thank you very much, and so all the stakeholders. Thank you very much, and so all the stakeholders. Thank you very much, and so all the stakeholders... The people you're working with stakeholders...

In fact, at the beginning, we recruited these In fact, at the beginning, we recruited these In fact, at the beginning, we recruited these actors—well, I recruited them actors—well, I recruited them actors—well, I recruited them based on a based on a based on a working group called "Biodechet," working group called "Biodechet," working group called "Biodechet," which was a bit more restrictive in which was a bit more restrictive in which was a bit more restrictive in terms of its theme. It had been terms of its theme. It had been terms of its theme. It had been formed during the development of the formed during the development of the formed during the development of the action plan for the action plan for the action plan for the circular economy, a circular economy, a circular economy, a regulatory obligation that the government required us to regulatory obligation that the government required us to regulatory obligation that the government required us to implement. So, I already had a small implement. So, I already had a small implement. So, I already had a small group that I had started leading group that I had started leading group that I had started leading on this topic, and then I was able to on this topic, and then I was able to on this topic, and then I was able to expand it a bit to include everyone involved in expand it a bit to include everyone involved in expand it a bit to include everyone involved in the circular economy. So, I started the circular economy. So, I started the circular economy. So, I started from there, and throughout the from there, and throughout the from there, and throughout the process, we mobilized about a hundred process, we mobilized about a hundred process, we mobilized about a hundred organizations, 150 participants. Some of them weren't the organizations, 150 participants. Some of them weren't the organizations, 150 participants. Some of them weren't the same from beginning to same from beginning to same from beginning to end. It's changed quite a bit, but end. It's changed quite a bit, but end. It's changed quite a bit, but we've managed to retain, let's say, about we've managed to retain, let's say, about we've managed to retain, let's say, about 70 people. Today, 70 people. Today, 70 people. Today, we're in the first stage of we're in the first stage of we're in the first stage of the Concerto project; we're at 50, so we the Concerto project; we're at 50, so we the Concerto project; we're at 50, so we can consider... I think it's still can consider... I think it's still can consider... I think it's still a success, it's pretty good, and so, well, a success, it's pretty good, and so, well, a success, it's pretty good, and so, well, it really creates a it really creates a it really creates a community.

In such a diverse group of stakeholders, do In such a diverse group of stakeholders, do In such a diverse group of stakeholders, do you see any contradictions in their you see any contradictions in their you see any contradictions in their interests regarding interests regarding interests regarding land use or the use of compost? Well, there's something that land use or the use of compost? Well, there's something that land use or the use of compost? Well, there's something that was very was very was very strong at the beginning that's a little less so now because strong at the beginning that's a little less so now because strong at the beginning that's a little less so now because they also know... well, for me, it's they also know... well, for me, it's they also know... well, for me, it's important to try to find points important to try to find points important to try to find points of convergence, but we always had of convergence, but we always had of convergence, but we always had points of friction or sorts of points of friction or sorts of points of friction or sorts of divergent interests between the divergent interests between the divergent interests between the composting sector and chemical methanization, for composting sector and chemical methanization, for composting sector and chemical methanization, for example. That's a bit classic, but example. That's a bit classic, but example.

There was available in the area... There was available in the area... There was n't a single, universally applicable solution, n't a single, universally applicable solution, n't a single, universally applicable solution, so there was room so there was room so there was room for all of these approaches. That was a core value of the for all of these approaches. That was a core value of the for all of these approaches. That was a core value of the project. Today, with project. Today, with project. Today, with methanization and property development stakeholders, methanization and property development stakeholders, methanization and property development stakeholders, we can have other points of view: we can have other points of view: we can have other points of view: public service and public service and public service and private operators.

Thanks to this methodology, have you Thanks to this methodology, have you Thanks to this methodology, have you seen any seen any seen any concrete projects that have taken off, concrete projects that have taken off, concrete projects that have taken off, that have developed? And would that have developed? And would that have developed? And would you like to mention one you like to mention one you like to mention one today? Well, it's true that testing today? Well, it's true that testing today? Well, it's true that testing this methodology on a regional scale was this methodology on a regional scale was this methodology on a regional scale was difficult, so it was hard to get difficult, so it was hard to get difficult, so it was hard to get concrete projects, at least concrete projects, at least concrete projects, at least not from my perspective. I saw stakeholders not from my perspective. I saw stakeholders not from my perspective. I saw stakeholders talking and meeting, and they developed talking and meeting, and they developed talking and meeting, and they developed projects, perhaps partly thanks projects, perhaps partly thanks projects, perhaps partly thanks to Concerto, not exclusively, but partly. So what we to Concerto, not exclusively, but partly. So what we to Concerto, not exclusively, but partly. So what we wanted to do to wanted to do to wanted to do to build on this success and make it concrete was to build on this success and make it concrete was to build on this success and make it concrete was to launch a call for projects from stakeholders in launch a call for projects from stakeholders in launch a call for projects from stakeholders in the coordinated management of organic matter. the coordinated management of organic matter. the coordinated management of organic matter. We did this in 2021, and we have six We did this in 2021, and we have six We did this in 2021, and we have six winners, which are winners, which are winners, which are Concerto projects truly stemming from this Concerto projects truly stemming from this Concerto projects truly stemming from this approach. Because the call for projects approach. Because the call for projects approach. Because the call for projects really comes from what really comes from what really comes from what emerged from this methodology and this emerged from this methodology and this emerged from this methodology and this consultation over two and a half years. So consultation over two and a half years. So consultation over two and a half years. So the stakeholders who responded to this call the stakeholders who responded to this call the stakeholders who responded to this call for projects aligned themselves with the for projects aligned themselves with the for projects aligned themselves with the values that the values that the values that the collective has to offer at the end of collective has to offer at the end of collective has to offer at the end of Concerto. And so we could cite Rélex, Concerto. And so we could cite Rélex, Concerto. And so we could cite Rélex, for example, which is a project that It was for example, which is a project that It was for example, which is a project that It was structured somewhat in parallel with the structured somewhat in parallel with the structured somewhat in parallel with the Concerto approach, which is truly based Concerto approach, which is truly based Concerto approach, which is truly based on a multi-stakeholder approach to the flow of on a multi-stakeholder approach to the flow of on a multi-stakeholder approach to the flow of food waste, specifically food waste, specifically food waste, specifically biowaste, but with a biowaste, but with a biowaste, but with a very micro-territorial scale: very micro-territorial scale: very micro-territorial scale: how do we access this how do we access this how do we access this flow, combat waste, and first promote flow, combat waste, and first promote flow, combat waste, and first promote restraint and prevention, then restraint and prevention, then restraint and prevention, then manage and manage and manage and valorize it as locally as possible, valorize it as locally as possible, valorize it as locally as possible, using a multitude of solutions— using a multitude of solutions— using a multitude of solutions— no single solution, but building no single solution, but building no single solution, but building blocks depending on the specific circumstances, etc. This blocks depending on the specific circumstances, etc. This blocks depending on the specific circumstances, etc. This truly embodies the truly embodies the truly embodies the Concerto value, and through the Reflex call for Concerto value, and through the Reflex call for Concerto value, and through the Reflex call for projects, it will be possible to replicate this approach in projects, it will be possible to replicate this approach in projects, it will be possible to replicate this approach in other territories while other territories while other territories while adapting to each one. Because that's adapting to each one. Because that's adapting to each one. Because that's also what Concerto is about: it's not also what Concerto is about: it's not also what Concerto is about: it's not just copying a model; it's about saying, "I have just copying a model; it's about saying, "I have just copying a model; it's about saying, "I have a methodology, I adapt it to my a methodology, I adapt it to my a methodology, I adapt it to my territory, I try to instill the territory, I try to instill the territory, I try to instill the values of my methodology," because values of my methodology," because values of my methodology," because it has proven itself. it has proven itself. it has proven itself. Thank you very much. And one last question, looking Thank you very much. And one last question, looking Thank you very much. And one last question, looking towards the future of Concerto, which is towards the future of Concerto, which is towards the future of Concerto, which is now continuing: what is the now continuing: what is the now continuing: what is the next step to ensure its continued success? This next step to ensure its continued success? This next step to ensure its continued success?

I think that remains for me... days. I think that remains for me... days. I think that remains for me... I learned with Concerto that in fact, I learned with Concerto that in fact, I learned with Concerto that in fact, animation, animation, mutual understanding, the fact that people exchange, mutual understanding, the fact that people exchange, mutual understanding, the fact that people exchange, inspire, share... well, these are not inspire, share... well, these are not inspire, share... well, these are not small things, in fact, it was important small things, in fact, it was important small things, in fact, it was important that places were needed for this, that places were needed for this, that places were needed for this, these places for dialogue were necessary. So, just managing to these places for dialogue were necessary. So, just managing to these places for dialogue were necessary. So, just managing to maintain this animation time, which is maintain this animation time, which is maintain this animation time, which is not easy today with not easy today with not easy today with constrained public sessions and constrained public sessions and constrained public sessions and limited time, well, if we manage to limited time, well, if we manage to limited time, well, if we manage to maintain that, it's great, and then maintain that, it's great, and then maintain that, it's great, and then why not, perhaps we should launch why not, perhaps we should launch why not, perhaps we should launch another call for projects to realize another call for projects to realize another call for projects to realize and support new Concerto projects and support new Concerto projects and support new Concerto projects in the future, that would be great too, in the future, that would be great too, in the future, that would be great too, but that's the future.

Since 2000, the RMQS – French soil quality monitoring network - has been a monitoring tool designed to meet the objectives of long-term assessment and monitoring of soil quality in France and to tackle current global challenges related to human and environmental health, biodiversity and climate change. The RMQS network is based on the monitoring of 2,240 sites spread evenly across France (mainland and overseas territories), using a 16 km square grid. Soil samples, measurements and observations are taken every fifteen years making it possible to track changes in the soil properties.

Claudy Jolivet, a research engineer at INRAE's Info&Sols research unit in Orléans, is in charge of the RMQS network and presents its missions and challenges.

Présentation :

Depuis 2000, le Réseau de mesures de la qualité des sols (RMQS) est un outil de surveillance qui répond aux objectifs d’évaluation et de suivi à long terme de la qualité des sols de France, pour répondre aux défis actuels en termes de santé et d’environnement, de biodiversité et de changement climatique. Le RMQS repose sur le suivi de 2240 sites répartis uniformément sur le territoire français (métropole et outre-mer), selon une maille carrée de 16 km de côté. Les prélèvements d’échantillons de sols, des mesures et des observations sont effectués tous les quinze ans pour mesurer l’évolution des propriétés des sols.

Claudy Jolivet, ingénieur de recherche à INRAE au sein de l’unité de recherche Info&Sols d’Orléans, est responsable du RMQS et présente les missions et les enjeux de ce réseau.

The third important point concerns soil The third important point concerns soil biodiversity. A lot of biodiversity. A lot of biodiversity. A lot of scientific work scientific work scientific work shows that biodiversity is shows that biodiversity is shows that biodiversity is collapsing on a collapsing on a collapsing on a planetary scale due to planetary scale due to planetary scale due to human actions. Soils are one of the human actions. Soils are one of the human actions. Soils are one of the most important reservoirs of biodiversity on most important reservoirs of biodiversity on most important reservoirs of biodiversity on the planet, but we know the planet, but we know the planet, but we know almost nothing about what's in them. almost nothing about what's in them. almost nothing about what's in them.

If we consider the If we consider the If we consider the national territory, France's particularity national territory, France's particularity national territory, France's particularity lies in having very varied climatic, lies in having very varied climatic, lies in having very varied climatic, geological, and therefore pedological conditions. This results in a geological, and therefore pedological conditions. This results in a multitude of soils with multitude of soils with multitude of soils with different properties. It's not really possible to draw different properties. It's not really possible to draw different properties. It's not really possible to draw general conclusions about general conclusions about general conclusions about soil properties; they soil properties; they soil properties; they vary enormously from one territory to vary enormously from one territory to vary enormously from one territory to another, from one region to another.

For soil quality network in this building. For soil quality network in this building. For example, for almost 25 years, these are example, for almost 25 years, these are example, for almost 25 years, these are samples that can be over samples that can be over samples that can be over 50 years old. So we have this 50 years old. So we have this 50 years old.

Researchers in our discipline of Researchers in our discipline of Researchers in our discipline of soil science, but also in other soil science, but also in other soil science, but also in other disciplines, are looking for disciplines, are looking for disciplines, are looking for soil data on a soil data on a soil data on a territorial scale as large as France to be territorial scale as large as France to be territorial scale as large as France to be able to take new measurements and create able to take new measurements and create able to take new measurements and create models. The data is models. The data is models. The data is used, for example, by used, for example, by used, for example, by climatologists to improve climatologists to improve climatologists to improve models that allow them to assess models that allow them to assess models that allow them to assess climate change and determine climate change and determine climate change and determine the role of soil in this.

And then there's the general public, the general public, the general public, who also have questions about soils. who also have questions about soils. who also have questions about soils. So we regularly receive So we regularly receive So we regularly receive requests from individuals, requests from individuals, requests from individuals, farmers, or foresters who would like to farmers, or foresters who would like to farmers, or foresters who would like to change their change their change their soil management practices and are looking for soil management practices and are looking for soil management practices and are looking for reference data. The idea of this program is reference data. The idea of this program is reference data. The idea of this program is really to establish really to establish really to establish reference data on a territorial scale that reference data on a territorial scale that reference data on a territorial scale that we can we can we can then use for management, to support then use for management, to support then use for management, to support public policy, and of course, for public policy, and of course, for public policy, and of course, for research.

"Odling i balans" is the name of a Swedish network of 18 pilot farms that was founded 30 years ago to focus on balanced agriculture. Farmers focus on environmental issues such as the right choice of crop rotation or the impact of climate change without losing sight of the financial aspect. The aim of the network is to be an independent actor in the agricultural sector, closing the gap between research and practice by bringing new scientific ideas into the daily lives of farmers.

And we've tried to achieve that on we've tried to achieve that on we've tried to achieve that on this farm through a long process of this farm through a long process of this farm through a long process of using plowing cultivation. We using plowing cultivation. We using plowing cultivation. We haven't plowed here for 2 years. haven't plowed here for 2 years. haven't plowed here for 2 years. And that means that it's been 23 And that means that it's been 23 And that means that it's been 23 years that we've been using years that we've been using years that we've been using plowless cultivation. And that way, plowless cultivation. And that way, plowless cultivation. And that way, we collect the material in the surface. We we collect the material in the surface. We we collect the material in the surface. We often do very superficial treatments. that often do very superficial treatments. that often do very superficial treatments. that and we do that so that we can reduce the and we do that so that we can reduce the and we do that so that we can reduce the risk of crusting and and get a good risk of crusting and and get a good risk of crusting and and get a good soil structure at depth soil structure at depth soil structure at depth eh and reduce compaction eh in the way eh and reduce compaction eh in the way eh and reduce compaction eh in the way that we don't use PL that we don't use PL that we don't use PL and then we don't have eh any and then we don't have eh any and then we don't have eh any manure barrel on the farm we haven't had manure barrel on the farm we haven't had manure barrel on the farm we haven't had since since since 2005 but we have used 2005 but we have used 2005 but we have used a system where we pump out the manure a system where we pump out the manure a system where we pump out the manure via hoses feed hoses so that and then via hoses feed hoses so that and then via hoses feed hoses so that and then we drive with a tractor only with a we drive with a tractor only with a we drive with a tractor only with a ramp out in the field which then only weighs 9 tons ramp out in the field which then only weighs 9 tons ramp out in the field which then only weighs 9 tons is really important that we is really important that we is really important that we are actually a Djurgård a Djurgård are actually a Djurgård a Djurgård are actually a Djurgård a Djurgård always has a lot easier time getting a good always has a lot easier time getting a good always has a lot easier time getting a good markhor Health because we have markhor Health because we have markhor Health because we have all the manure that then has to go out to our all the manure that then has to go out to our all the manure that then has to go out to our farmers again and it's not just us farmers again and it's not just us farmers again and it's not just us who benefit from it but it's who benefit from it but it's who benefit from it but it's all the neighbors here who also get some of all the neighbors here who also get some of all the neighbors here who also get some of our manure because we have quite a our manure because we have quite a our manure because we have quite a large animal production so we have contracts large animal production so we have contracts large animal production so we have contracts with everyone around eh almost and eh with everyone around eh

Then, those who often save the family's strong [business/business], these have save the family's strong [business/business], these have save the family's strong [business/business], these have the Eurofighter meadow. Our farm is the Eurofighter meadow. Our farm is the Eurofighter meadow. Our farm is located in Oberreut, at an located in Oberreut, at an located in Oberreut, at an altitude of 600 meters. We manage [number] altitude of 600 meters. We manage [number] altitude of 600 meters. We manage [number] hectares of grassland, and then, in addition to hectares of grassland, and then, in addition to hectares of grassland, and then, in addition to cattle and pig farming, we also grow cattle and pig farming, we also grow fruits. But to consider, just as it has been conquered in the meantime, the motto is always that everything stays the same, and then you will experience the biggest changes, which is what life has been about so far: constant change, and that has happened to us, so to speak. We have defined goals in our farm, fruits. But to consider, just as it has been conquered in the meantime, the motto is always that everything stays the same, and then you will experience the biggest changes, which is what life has been about so far: constant change, and that has happened to us, so to speak. We have defined goals in our farm, fruits. But to consider, just as it has been conquered in the meantime, the motto is always that everything stays the same, and then you will experience the biggest changes, which is what life has been about so far: constant change, and that has happened to us, so to speak. We have defined goals in our farm, and the goal is to produce the and the goal is to produce the and the goal is to produce the largest quantity of food with a largest quantity of food with a largest quantity of food with a high internal nutrient density and no high internal nutrient density and no high internal nutrient density and no chemical contamination. That chemical contamination. That chemical contamination. That is our goal. We have [something] in the farm. is our goal. We have [something] in the farm. is our goal. We have [something] in the farm. The challenges for our The challenges for our The challenges for our farm, or for every farm, are farm, or for every farm, are farm, or for every farm, are individual because every farm is individual because every farm is individual because every farm is different, and ultimately, every soil is different, and ultimately, every soil is different, and ultimately, every soil is different, and that is what you different, and that is what you different, and that is what you ultimately have. We understand each other. ultimately have. We understand each other. ultimately have. We understand each other. Our path was ultimately a very Our path was ultimately a very Our path was ultimately a very rocky one at times. We rocky one at times. We rocky one at times. We started with organic farming in 10.1, started with organic farming in 10.1, started with organic farming in 10.1, then [something] 15 For years we then [something] 15 For years we then [something] 15 For years we practiced organic farming conventionally with practiced organic farming conventionally with practiced organic farming conventionally with plows, harrows, and all sorts of other plows, harrows, and all sorts of other plows, harrows, and all sorts of other things. Jakob said, " things. Jakob said, " things. Jakob said, " Okay, that's it." But then we became increasingly inert, fewer and fewer farmers were using these methods, Okay, that's it." But then we became increasingly inert, fewer and fewer farmers were using these methods, the pressure was constantly increasing, the effort was the pressure was constantly increasing, the effort was the pressure was constantly increasing, the effort was constantly rising, and that was the reason why constantly rising, and that was the reason why constantly rising, and that was the reason why we said we had to we said we had to we said we had to rethink things. A change of mindset had to take rethink things. A change of mindset had to take rethink things. A change of mindset had to take place. place. place. The problem was that we weren't The problem was that we weren't The problem was that we weren't really making any progress. Then in 2006, we started really making any progress. Then in 2006, we started really making any progress. Then in 2006, we started with unsuccessful attempts at with unsuccessful attempts at with unsuccessful attempts at direct cultivation. Then we really looked for ways to direct cultivation. Then we really looked for ways to cultivate the soil, so to speak, to train it. We cultivate the soil, so to speak, to train it. We cultivate the soil, so to speak, to train it. We believed it would work and had some believed it would work and had some believed it would work and had some success. The minister was success. The minister was success. The minister was happy for so long that in 2012 we finally attended happy for so long that in 2012 we finally attended happy for so long that in 2012 we finally attended the soil course at the Green Party the soil course at the Green Party the soil course at the Green Party with Dietmar Leser and Friedrich with Dietmar Leser and Friedrich with Dietmar Leser and Friedrich Weint. And then we finally Weint. And then we finally Weint. And then we finally experienced regenerative agriculture and began to work on the experienced regenerative agriculture and began to work on the three pillars of soil fertility. three pillars of soil fertility. three pillars of soil fertility. You'll usually find that active You'll usually find that active You'll usually find that active agriculture involves chemistry, physics, agriculture involves chemistry, physics, agriculture involves chemistry, physics, and biology, and we spent a long and biology, and we spent a long and biology, and we spent a long time in the animal sector. We mainly time in the animal sector. We mainly time in the animal sector. We mainly focused on biology, or rather, focused on biology, or rather, focused on biology, or rather, believed believed believed biology would solve everything, and biology would solve everything, and biology would solve everything, and completely completely completely ignored chemistry. Only later did ignored chemistry. Only later did ignored chemistry. Only later did we realize we realize we realize how important how important how important chemistry ultimately is through regenerative agriculture. There are chemistry ultimately is through regenerative agriculture. There are chemistry ultimately is through regenerative agriculture. There are five steps to soil health in five steps to soil health in five steps to soil health in regenerative agriculture. These regenerative agriculture. These regenerative agriculture. These steps include steps include steps include balancing base saturation, which balances balancing base saturation, which balances balancing base saturation, which balances the base-active cations the base-active cations the base-active cations in the soil, i.e., the exchange of substances. in the soil, i.e., the exchange of substances. in the soil, i.e., the exchange of substances. The fields are permanently greened, with cover crops on the The fields are permanently greened, with cover crops on the The fields are permanently greened, with cover crops on the undersides – only life for the soil. Only undersides – only life for the soil. Only undersides – only life for the soil. Only life through this does the life through this does the life through this does the soil ultimately yield soil ultimately yield soil ultimately yield long-term yields, and so on. Sowing, long-term yields, and so on. Sowing, or rather, or rather, or rather, the real thing, is on the the real thing, is on the the real thing, is on the surface. Here, one must ensure that the soil is surface. Here, one must ensure that the soil is surface. Here, one must ensure that the soil is properly fertilized so that properly fertilized so that properly fertilized so that the domus complex is created, meaning the the domus complex is created, meaning the the domus complex is created, meaning the clay particles are connected to the organic clay particles are connected to the organic clay particles are connected to the organic matter through biology. The matter through biology. The matter through biology. The fourth step is aerating the soil fourth step is aerating the soil fourth step is aerating the soil through gentle intervention with through gentle intervention with through gentle intervention with loose and immediate regeneration. loose and immediate regeneration. loose and immediate regeneration. This means the soil sometimes falls This means the soil sometimes falls This means the soil sometimes falls and is Life is built up again, and is Life is built up again, and is Life is built up again, then he needs a new then he needs a new then he needs a new boiler, soil, the soil cultivation boiler, soil, the soil cultivation boiler, soil, the soil cultivation is important, that's what it's called with flying or is important, that's what it's called with flying or is important, that's what it's called with flying or with a weeping soil cultivation, you're with a weeping soil cultivation, you're with a weeping soil cultivation, you're completely confused, then we had something really completely confused, then we had something really completely confused, then we had something really exciting, exciting, exciting, the fifth and finally last the fifth and finally last the fifth and finally last step is the vitalization of the step is the vitalization of the step is the vitalization of the plants, so we already know that a plants, so we already know that a plants, so we already know that a vital to the plant stands, in German, there vital to the plant stands, in German, there vital to the plant stands, in German, there we only then again the soil we only then again the soil we only then again the soil life accordingly, life accordingly, life accordingly, which, like the base-side, I took care of which, like the base-side, I took care of which, like the base-side, I took care of soil samples, Albrecht, we soil samples, Albrecht, we soil samples, Albrecht, we work with the important thing for us, the third thing is work with the important thing for us, the third thing is work with the important thing for us, the third thing is that the new sheet of paper is that the new sheet of paper is that the new sheet of paper is relatively good to work with again, we know that this relatively good to work with again, we know that this relatively good to work with again, we know that this already goes into the last detail, but already goes into the last detail, but already goes into the last detail, but it's about a rough direction to home, so to it's about a rough direction to home, so to it's about a rough direction to home, so to speak, like a staircase, so to speak, the speak, like a staircase, so to speak, the speak, like a staircase, so to speak, the front lands, that you say you have back then approximately, you have to go front lands, that you say you have back then approximately, you have to go front lands, that you say you have back then approximately, you have to go in the right in the right in the right direction, and that's an advantage direction, and that's an advantage direction, and that's an advantage with the Albrecht method, if you then have a with the Albrecht method, if you then have a with the Albrecht method, if you then have a relatively good view of the nutrients, relatively good view of the nutrients, relatively good view of the nutrients, you have to, soil, why do you do you have to, soil, why do you do you have to, soil, why do you do that, is the main point to all your, that, is the main point to all your, that, is the main point to all your, the pH value is very crucial for the pH value is very crucial for the pH value is very crucial for the crops or generally for life, a the crops or generally for life, a the crops or generally for life, a soil and where you even the soil and where you even the soil and where you even the Soil samples were taken, and they were Soil samples were taken, and they were Soil samples were taken, and they were different soil samples. Both have different soil samples. Both have different soil samples. Both have an incredibly high pH value, very an incredibly high pH value, very an incredibly high pH value, very low calcium levels, and are very calm. Regarding the values, low calcium levels, and are very calm. Regarding the values, low calcium levels, and are very calm. Regarding the values, this means that this means that this means that the crops are constantly being supplied the crops are constantly being supplied the crops are constantly being supplied biologically. There is, so to speak, calcium with biologically. There is, so to speak, calcium with biologically. There is, so to speak, calcium with nutrient nutrient for the biological processes involved in nutrient nutrient for the biological processes involved in nutrient nutrient for the biological processes involved in growth. In the samples, growth. In the samples, growth. In the samples, the calcium, the calcium, the calcium, the other nutrients, and the the other nutrients, and the the other nutrients, and the calcium itself are blocked, causing problems. calcium itself are blocked, causing problems. calcium itself are blocked, causing problems. Both are due to the pH value. It's a Both are due to the pH value. It's a Both are due to the pH value. It's a bonus for correct performance. A few examples: [The following appears to be unrelated and possibly garbled:] So, [the following appears to be unrelated and possibly garbled:] ... A few examples: [The following appears to be unrelated and possibly garbled:] So, [the following appears to be unrelated and possibly garbled:] ... A few examples: [The following appears to be unrelated and possibly garbled:] So, [the following appears to be unrelated and possibly garbled:] ... and what they have for weed and what they have for weed and what they have for weed pressure, the saturation is pressure, the saturation is pressure, the saturation is balanced and massaged relatively well, balanced and massaged relatively well, balanced and massaged relatively well, bad, or in three years she wants to bad, or in three years she wants to bad, or in three years she wants to balance the base for the bases, saturation, balance the base for the bases, saturation, balance the base for the bases, saturation, and implement the measures so that the and implement the measures so that the and implement the measures so that the Voerder suddenly become very calm. Voerder suddenly become very calm. Voerder suddenly become very calm. We have the shooting gallery, this was at 33 We have the shooting gallery, this was at 33 We have the shooting gallery, this was at 33 o'clock. Regenerative agriculture, it's more o'clock. Regenerative agriculture, it's more o'clock. Regenerative agriculture, it's more about counteracting directly, varieties, and incorrect about counteracting directly, varieties, and incorrect about counteracting directly, varieties, and incorrect management. Some demand this management. Some demand this management. Some demand this easily produced with 100 percent, easily produced with 100 percent, easily produced with 100 percent, and in Europe again in three years. and in Europe again in three years. and in Europe again in three years. Regenerative farming, meaning removal, balanced, Regenerative farming, meaning removal, balanced, and that's where cover crops should be used. The and that's where cover crops should be used. The and that's where cover crops should be used. The area was cleared, sprayed, and area was cleared, sprayed, and area was cleared, sprayed, and the plant specialized with compost, the plant specialized with compost, the plant specialized with compost, but there, in about three years, it completely but there, in about three years, it completely needed a calm head and body, so to speak, and the pressure is coming back quite well. That was needed a calm head and body, so to speak, and the pressure is coming back quite well. That was standard for us, so it came standard for us, so it came standard for us, so it came into focus for us. Overcoming one into focus for us. Overcoming one into focus for us. Overcoming one was overcome. Among varieties, it was overcome. Among varieties, it was overcome. Among varieties, it brings in the VDM 2. In biology, brings in the VDM 2. In biology, brings in the VDM 2. In biology, the prey plants the prey plants the prey plants enter the vegetative phase, so to speak, the enter the vegetative phase, so to speak, the enter the vegetative phase, so to speak, the generative phase, then they generative phase, then they generative phase, then they nourish the soil life again. That's the nourish the soil life again. That's the nourish the soil life again. That's the reason why over 300 were examined, reason why over 300 were examined, reason why over 300 were examined, and today the soil and today the soil is stable again. Cover crops are a must for us is stable again. Cover crops are a must for us is stable again. Cover crops are a must for us between crops because, of between crops because, of between crops because, of course, you have many monocultures or course, you have many monocultures or course, you have many monocultures or annoying monocultures in the farm area. annoying monocultures in the farm area. annoying monocultures in the farm area. So, a self-made one was sometimes So, a self-made one was sometimes So, a self-made one was sometimes very one-sided, which is why it's very one-sided, which is why it's very one-sided, which is why it's very important that you very important that you very important that you now have fruits there. now have fruits there. now have fruits there. It has relatively Erfurt running, so it's It has relatively Erfurt running, so it's It has relatively Erfurt running, so it's about how many different about how many different about how many different plant families now produce fruits plant families now produce fruits plant families now produce fruits so that ultimately a The diversity of so that ultimately a The diversity of so that ultimately a The diversity of living beings or organisms in the soil living beings or organisms in the soil living beings or organisms in the soil develops, they are fed, and this in turn also feeds develops, they are fed, and this in turn also feeds develops, they are fed, and this in turn also feeds the soil, and in the long term, the soil, and in the long term, the soil, and in the long term, the greening of a field always raises the greening of a field always raises the greening of a field always raises the question of how to deal with the question of how to deal with the question of how to deal with overgrown stands. If the areas were too lush, one overgrown stands. If the areas were too lush, one overgrown stands. If the areas were too lush, one simply has to simply has to simply has to see more of the OB10. They find their way to see more of the OB10. They find their way to see more of the OB10. They find their way to ensiling and, if necessary, ordered or ensiling and, if necessary, ordered or ensiling and, if necessary, ordered or fermentation and then spreading again fermentation and then spreading again fermentation and then spreading again because then this is because then this is because then this is familiar green material where there is sometimes a familiar green material where there is sometimes a familiar green material where there is sometimes a large amount of green material on the ground large amount of green material on the ground large amount of green material on the ground and then incorporated into the soil so and then incorporated into the soil so and then incorporated into the soil so that the so-called that the so-called that the so-called priming effect is created. Usually, priming effect is created. Usually, priming effect is created. Usually, most nutrients dissipate, and the most nutrients dissipate, and the most nutrients dissipate, and the biology suffers from this biology suffers from this biology suffers from this because the root, bloody organizing because the root, bloody organizing because the root, bloody organizing parts of the plant, are parts of the plant, are parts of the plant, are built much faster in the soil, so the built much faster in the soil, so the built much faster in the soil, so the topsoil. So even with potatoes, there is something prohibited topsoil. So even with potatoes, there is something prohibited topsoil. So even with potatoes, there is something prohibited in our system, so in in our system, so in in our system, so in the area for the particles per wagon, it is the area for the particles per wagon, it is the area for the particles per wagon, it is simply the potatoes. Ultimately, the simply the potatoes. Ultimately, the simply the potatoes. Ultimately, the Austrian crop is also grown, and through Austrian crop is also grown, and through Austrian crop is also grown, and through intensive soil cultivation, and because intensive soil cultivation, and because intensive soil cultivation, and because heavy machinery heavy machinery heavy machinery creates pressure, creates pressure, creates pressure, we try to do this with investigated data we try to do this with investigated data we try to do this with investigated data or with data. To compensate, or with data. To compensate, or with data. To compensate, the industry needs them there, proven, whoever the industry needs them there, proven, whoever the industry needs them there, proven, whoever remains relatively empty, the building of new remains relatively empty, the building of new remains relatively empty, the building of new competition against the potato, and competition against the potato, and competition against the potato, and the potatoes migrate, die the potatoes migrate, die the potatoes migrate, die in autumn, then he starts in autumn, then he starts in autumn, then he starts boxing more slowly, or the data grew through and boxing more slowly, or the data grew through and boxing more slowly, or the data grew through and then a little tea comes, the hack then a little tea comes, the hack then a little tea comes, the hack should then take it off, should then take it off, should then take it off, the actual problem comes with the actual problem comes with the actual problem comes with our technology, with the material, the hole, Europeans said, 'whoever the hole, Europeans said, 'whoever the hole, Europeans said, 'whoever undersides high volatility is undersides high volatility is undersides high volatility is somehow getting rid of, it is somehow getting rid of, it is somehow getting rid of, it is important when working with the milling machine, important when working with the milling machine, important when working with the milling machine, that means the skull is a smooth 23 cm that means the skull is a smooth 23 cm that means the skull is a smooth 23 cm in front, it is in front, it is in front, it is important that the right knives are important that the right knives are important that the right knives are used, so protractors, the used, so protractors, the used, so protractors, the net plays a role, so the underside, plank net plays a role, so the underside, plank net plays a role, so the underside, plank is important, experiencing roots, they would is important, experiencing roots, they would is important, experiencing roots, they would therefore have, with flat soil, advertising that therefore have, with flat soil, advertising that therefore have, with flat soil, advertising that the soil opens up from below, the soil opens up from below, the soil opens up from below, that means where it is strongly due to short that means where it is strongly due to short that means where it is strongly due to short run times, not to run times, not to run times, not to whether then to the foil, the city whether then to the foil, the city whether then to the foil, the city purse, so there, the purse, so there, the purse, so there, the living plants that make up the soil, from living plants that make up the soil, from living plants that make up the soil, from sports, I never have what they were at, then sports, I never have what they were at, then sports, I never have what they were at, then precipitation comes or heat from precipitation comes or heat from precipitation comes or heat from one, the soil begins to decline downwards, one, the soil begins to decline downwards, one, the soil begins to decline downwards, either from above or related to the either from above or related to the either from above or related to the car, and the Crumb car, and the Crumb car, and the Crumb structure breaks down, but the undersides of the structure breaks down, but the undersides of the structure breaks down, but the undersides of the trainers, exactly this happened: that trainers, exactly this happened: that trainers, exactly this happened: that the undersides only feed the biology, so to speak. Were the undersides only feed the biology, so to speak. Were the undersides only feed the biology, so to speak. Were the main cultures the main cultures the main cultures dying? And then there were the rainfalls dying? And then there were the rainfalls dying? And then there were the rainfalls and heat events. and heat events. and heat events. Today, the soil usually remains relatively Today, the soil usually remains relatively Today, the soil usually remains relatively stable for a short time, and he prescribed, and depending on stable for a short time, and he prescribed, and depending on stable for a short time, and he prescribed, and depending on where they then smell, so to speak, where they then smell, so to speak, where they then smell, so to speak, every soil ridge, that the every soil ridge, that the every soil ridge, that the right soil is expected, right soil is expected, right soil is expected, depending on whether the last thing is the federal depending on whether the last thing is the federal depending on whether the last thing is the federal decay, is that true or not? And decay, is that true or not? And decay, is that true or not? And that was now the one, and that has the ones that was now the one, and that has the ones that was now the one, and that has the ones underneath. It has succeeded in making the soil underneath. It has succeeded in making the soil underneath. It has succeeded in making the soil stable. Is the area sufficient for soil stable. Is the area sufficient for soil stable. Is the area sufficient for soil cultivation? We need quality. cultivation? We need quality. cultivation? We need quality. Take more steps. When the soil has collapsed, is it compacted? Take more steps. When the soil has collapsed, is it compacted? Take more steps. When the soil has collapsed, is it compacted? Then Then Then the flat soil is concreted. Then, the flat soil is concreted. Then, the flat soil is concreted. Then, finally, one has to intervene deeply finally, one has to intervene deeply finally, one has to intervene deeply and repair the building volume in the soil and repair the building volume in the soil and repair the building volume in the soil so that the buildings so that the buildings so that the buildings function well again. function well again. function well again.

Member Ambreen Bhatti from the University of York discusses her research into measurement of mineral nitrogen leaching from grassland soil.

The British Society of Soil Science is an established international membership organisation and charity committed to the study of soil in its widest aspects. It is funded primarily through subscriptions and income from publications. The Society acts as a forum for the exchange of ideas and provides a framework for representing the views of soil scientists to other organisations and decision making bodies. It promotes research by organising several conferences each year and by the publication of its two scientific journals, the European Journal of Soil Science, and Soil Use and Management. It promotes education through a number of initiatives aimed at schools, colleges and universities. The Society has a regular and varied programme of scientific conferences on a wide range of soil-related issues.

The British Society of Soil Science encourages anyone with an interest in soil, whether this interest lies in the soil itself or its wider use within the environment, to join the society. There is a small membership fee, with discounts for students and those from low income countries.

We've is the conversion. We've drained the peatlands for decades, centuries in some cases thousands of years, primarily for drained the peatlands for decades, centuries in some cases thousands of years, primarily for drained the peatlands for decades, centuries in some cases thousands of years, primarily for agricultural use, especially in agricultural use, especially in agricultural use, especially in the second half of the 1960s. It's only the second half of the 1960s. It's only the second half of the 1960s. It's only when these innovations when these innovations when these innovations were fully implemented, with very high were fully implemented, with very high were fully implemented, with very high societal costs, that the changes are truly societal costs, that the changes are truly significant. Society has borne the costs, and the farmers now cultivate these lands. If they are expected to do things differently, the costs of the conversion cannot simply be borne by the farmers. This requires a counter-movement, a societal initiative. Previously, it was right to significant. Society has borne the costs, and the farmers now cultivate these lands. If they are expected to do things differently, the costs of the conversion cannot simply be borne by the farmers. This requires a counter-movement, a societal initiative. Previously, it was right to significant. Society has borne the costs, and the farmers now cultivate these lands. If they are expected to do things differently, the costs of the conversion cannot simply be borne by the farmers. This requires a counter-movement, a societal initiative. Previously, it was right to improve the peatlands and create production areas for livestock improve the peatlands and create production areas for livestock improve the peatlands and create production areas for livestock and food. and food. and food. Now, other Now, other Now, other priorities have taken precedence, with climate protection being the priorities have taken precedence, with climate protection being the priorities have taken precedence, with climate protection being the biggest issue worldwide, and peatlands biggest issue worldwide, and peatlands biggest issue worldwide, and peatlands are major emitters of are major emitters of are major emitters of CO2. The crucial CO2. The crucial CO2. The crucial point is point is point is raising the water levels. This is raising the water levels. This is raising the water levels. This is the most important point, and society must the most important point, and society must take the initiative again. But if take the initiative again. But if take the initiative again. But if this major conversion were undertaken now, this major conversion were undertaken now, this major conversion were undertaken now, the land could the land could the land could earn just as much with this ship as before. earn just as much with this ship as before. earn just as much with this ship as before. Comparing before and after is a Comparing before and after is a Comparing before and after is a bit difficult because there bit difficult because there bit difficult because there simply aren't that many areas simply aren't that many areas simply aren't that many areas where one could study this and collect data. where one could study this and collect data. However, it must be emphasized that However, it must be emphasized that However, it must be emphasized that current agricultural use current agricultural use current agricultural use is only profitable if is only profitable if is only profitable if EU direct payments for EU direct payments for EU direct payments for cultivation were supported. Then, cultivation were supported. Then, cultivation were supported. Then, perhaps perhaps perhaps other yields could be extracted, and that would be one way to develop other yields could be extracted, and that would be one way to develop other yields could be extracted, and that would be one way to develop alternative alternative alternative production methods.

On the one hand, there are the relevant at the moment. On the one hand, there are the relevant at the moment. On the one hand, there are the major levers, a big major levers, a big major levers, a big challenge we face as a society, challenge we face as a society, challenge we face as a society, and the EU is considering and the EU is considering and the EU is considering changing something. And perhaps three aspects to consider: firstly, the We changing something. And perhaps three aspects to consider: firstly, the We changing something. And perhaps three aspects to consider: firstly, the We conducted an analysis conducted an analysis conducted an analysis to examine the situation in the European Union, specifically to examine the situation in the European Union, specifically to examine the situation in the European Union, specifically for each country, what percentage of its land is peatland. for each country, what percentage of its land is peatland. for each country, what percentage of its land is peatland. Many of these areas Many of these areas Many of these areas are used for agriculture, and what are used for agriculture, and what are used for agriculture, and what percentage of greenhouse percentage of greenhouse percentage of greenhouse gas emissions from these peatlands contribute gas emissions from these peatlands contribute gas emissions from these peatlands contribute to the to the to the country's total emissions. Looking at country's total emissions. Looking at greenhouse gas emissions across all EU countries, specifically from agriculture, we found that greenhouse gas emissions across all EU countries, specifically from agriculture, we found that greenhouse gas emissions across all EU countries, specifically from agriculture, we found that 4 percent of the 4 percent of the 4 percent of the agricultural land emits about agricultural land emits about agricultural land emits about a quarter of the total a quarter of the total agricultural greenhouse gas emissions. This is a very agricultural greenhouse gas emissions. This is a very agricultural greenhouse gas emissions. This is a very small area, yet represents a very large share small area, yet represents a very large share small area, yet represents a very large share of total emissions.

Laser [[weeding]] uses a '''powerful light beam to burn and kill weeds'''. The energy emitted by the laser is actually absorbed by the plant, causing a rapid increase in the internal temperature of the weed, then the '''plant proteins are denatured''', the '''plant cell membrane is destroyed''', and the '''plant tissues dehydrate'''. In conclusion, '''the weed loses its physiological functions which allows its elimination'''.

This method is very effective when the weed is '''young''' (from the cotyledon stage to “two leaves”) because the plant has fewer underground reserves to regrow after the burning of its aerial part. To optimize the absorption of energy by the plant molecules, mainly water and chlorophyll, the '''choice of wavelength is crucial'''.

== How laser weeding works ==
Laser weeding relies on three phases:

* '''perception''' which consists of '''collecting images and monitoring the robot's position''' in real time (using USB and binocular cameras)
* '''decision''', a process of '''analyzing and identifying''' the collected information (weeds, spatial organization of plots, etc.) thanks to a deep learning algorithm (YOLO, Faster R-CNN, CNN…)
* '''execution''', the final phase allowing to '''control the laser emission''' so that it is precise and effective.

|Less dangerous but glasses and precautions mandatory
|
|}

== Maintenance ==
Maintenance costs vary depending on the size of the machine, annual use, and model, however, maintenance always includes:

* cleaning optics (cameras, lenses)
* checking laser cooling
* software updates
* chassis and sensor maintenance

== Purchase cost of machines ==
Laser weeding machines are currently very expensive:

* the price depends on size and configuration; large-scale machines can cost over one million euros
* machines are available for rent starting at €1000/ha for the most compact models

In the short term, [[herbicides]] are cheaper; however, in the long term, depending on annual use of laser weeding and considering its benefits, this method can become cost-effective.

== Advantages ==

* No soil disturbance.
* No environmental impact since the laser leaves only ashes behind.
* Reduces manual labor.
* Targeted.

== Limitations ==

* High cost.
* Sometimes slow working speed.
* The machine consumes energy.
* Less effective on large weeds.
* Less effective on weeds with deep roots.

== Regulation and safety ==
Laser machines are classified into 4 categories according to their hazard level. Laser weeding is generally done using high-performance '''class 4''' machines; farmers must then '''be trained in laser safety''' and wear appropriate '''protective glasses'''.

So, I'm going to explain a little bit of So, I'm going to explain a little bit of So, I'm going to explain a little bit of the context, why I came. So the context, why I came. So the context, why I came. So , I was invited by Maxence, , I was invited by Maxence, , I was invited by Maxence, whom I've known for a while. We whom I've known for a while. We whom I've known for a while. We talk about robotics together because these are talk about robotics together because these are talk about robotics together because these are topics that interest us. topics that interest us. topics that interest us. And here we are seeing a And here we are seeing a And here we are seeing a robot from Terrar Robotics, a robot from Terrar Robotics, a robot from Terrar Robotics, a European company, which is European company, which is European company, which is destroying plants with a laser. destroying plants with a laser. destroying plants with a laser. This is something that normally we have to remove by This is something that normally we have to remove by This is something that normally we have to remove by hand. So here, we are in a hand. So here, we are in a hand. So here, we are in a particular configuration because it is particular configuration because it is particular configuration because it is not onion season, but in this not onion season, but in this not onion season, but in this case it interests me for the case it interests me for the case it interests me for the cultivation of onions and carrots because we cultivation of onions and carrots because we cultivation of onions and carrots because we have a lot of manual weeding. It's have a lot of manual weeding. It's have a lot of manual weeding. It's getting complicated. uh, to have some getting complicated. uh, to have some getting complicated. uh, to have some maneuvering and if we could reduce this maneuvering and if we could reduce this maneuvering and if we could reduce this maneuvering, uh, well, uh, and also avoid maneuvering, uh, well, uh, and also avoid maneuvering, uh, well, uh, and also avoid the fatigue that all this entails, huh, the fatigue that all this entails, huh, the fatigue that all this entails, huh, because these are jobs that are still because these are jobs that are still because these are jobs that are still extremely tiring, well, that extremely tiring, well, that extremely tiring, well, that interests me. So I'm going to try to interests me. So I'm going to try to interests me. So I'm going to try to find out about the technology, how it find out about the technology, how it find out about the technology, how it works, why, whether it's European works, why, whether it's European works, why, whether it's European or not, and then ask all the or not, and then ask all the or not, and then ask all the questions I have. I'm going to join questions I have. I'm going to join questions I have. I'm going to join Maxence to take a look at this and then Maxence to take a look at this and then Maxence to take a look at this and then show you how it works. It's show you how it works. It's show you how it works. It's incredibly impressive. incredibly impressive. incredibly impressive. Okay then, I agree with Maxens. Hi Okay then, I agree with Maxens. Hi Okay then, I agree with Maxens. Hi Maxence, how are you? Maxence, how are you? Maxence, how are you? Hi. Hi Thierry, welcome to Hi. Hi Thierry, welcome to Hi. Hi Thierry, welcome to this farm. We're dealing with radicals here. this farm. We're dealing with radicals here. this farm. We're dealing with radicals here. Yeah. So, you work at Terra Yeah. So, you work at Terra Yeah. So, you work at Terra Robotics? That's Robotics? That's Robotics? That's it. I am the representative in it. I am the representative in it. I am the representative in France. France. France. You are a representative in France. It's a You are a representative in France. It's a You are a representative in France. It's a machine that comes directly from Greece machine that comes directly from Greece machine that comes directly from Greece but is built in Europe. That's right but is built in Europe. That's right but is built in Europe. That's right . . . Exactly. A machine made in Europe Exactly. A machine made in Europe Exactly. A machine made in Europe for European farmers. for European farmers. for European farmers. So, here we are on a Messai in the So, here we are on a Messai in the So, here we are on a Messai in the ditch. It's really to try it out because ditch. It's really to try it out because ditch. It's really to try it out because usually, it's not necessarily a crop that we usually, it's not necessarily a crop that we usually, it's not necessarily a crop that we work with. Uh, but on the other hand work with. Uh, but on the other hand work with. Uh, but on the other hand , it's a device that is specifically , it's a device that is specifically , it's a device that is specifically designed to limit the maneuver. designed to limit the maneuver. designed to limit the maneuver. Well, where we would need a lot, for Well, where we would need a lot, for Well, where we would need a lot, for example, like us in organic farming with example, like us in organic farming with example, like us in organic farming with onions and carrots. Um, are there onions and carrots. Um, are there onions and carrots. Um, are there other destinations where other destinations where other destinations where you see similar uses? you see similar uses? you see similar uses? We also have, uh, everything that is young We also have, uh, everything that is young We also have, uh, everything that is young shoot, spinach, uh, lamb's lettuce, rocket, shoot, spinach, uh, lamb's lettuce, rocket, shoot, spinach, uh, lamb's lettuce, rocket, well, everything that is grown in very high well, everything that is grown in very high well, everything that is grown in very high density overall. That's the key takeaway density overall. That's the key takeaway density overall. That's the key takeaway . . . All right. Uh, so this is a device All right. Uh, so this is a device All right. Uh, so this is a device that we are starting to see very slowly, a that we are starting to see very slowly, a that we are starting to see very slowly, a laser device. Well, this is a laser device. Well, this is a laser device. Well, this is a fairly compact model in some ways. That's fairly compact model in some ways. That's fairly compact model in some ways. That's exactly it. That's what exactly it. That's what exactly it. That's what the manufacturers wanted: to the manufacturers wanted: to the manufacturers wanted: to make a machine that was light, compact and make a machine that was light, compact and make a machine that was light, compact and above all simple. All right. Uh, a above all simple. All right. Uh, a above all simple. All right. Uh, a power take-off, a turbine, an power take-off, a turbine, an power take-off, a turbine, an electric motor that powers electric motor that powers electric motor that powers the lasers, but there's more to it than that. the lasers, but there's more to it than that. the lasers, but there's more to it than that. I imagine there's the whole process of capturing I imagine there's the whole process of capturing I imagine there's the whole process of capturing the image, and then the reflection. the image, and then the reflection. the image, and then the reflection. Lia also helped him. That's how you Lia also helped him. That's how you Lia also helped him. That's how you go about targeting the plants and choosing them properly, go about targeting the plants and choosing them properly, go about targeting the plants and choosing them properly, because otherwise we'd burn because otherwise we'd burn because otherwise we'd burn everything up. everything up. everything up. Exactly. So in each Exactly. So in each Exactly. So in each box you see, there are two lasers box you see, there are two lasers box you see, there are two lasers with a camera in the middle. The camera with a camera in the middle. The camera with a camera in the middle. The camera detects and analyzes what is a detects and analyzes what is a detects and analyzes what is a weed and what is a weed and what is a weed and what is a crop. She avoids culture. That's crop. She avoids culture. That's crop. She avoids culture. That's his number one objective, it's his number one objective, it's his number one objective, it's not and we can see it today, there are not and we can see it today, there are not and we can see it today, there are no radicals that are affected. And it will no radicals that are affected. And it will no radicals that are affected. And it will target the weed and send a target the weed and send a target the weed and send a laser to eradicate it. laser to eradicate it. laser to eradicate it. All right. Could this be All right. Could this be All right. Could this be dangerous? So, I imagine you have to be dangerous? So, I imagine you have to be dangerous? So, I imagine you have to be careful not to put your careful not to put your careful not to put your hands underneath. It's still hands underneath. It's still hands underneath. It's still , I was going to say, secure. So, it's , I was going to say, secure. So, it's , I was going to say, secure. So, it's not like in not like in not like in science fiction movies, where we get our science fiction movies, where we get our science fiction movies, where we get our hands cut off. hands cut off. hands cut off. It's obviously dangerous. That's why, It's obviously dangerous. That's why, It's obviously dangerous. That's why, normally, we'll have a normally, we'll have a normally, we'll have a panel later in the version. We have panel later in the version. We have panel later in the version. We have signs to protect it. This is signs to protect it. This is signs to protect it. This is a demo version of " a demo version of " a demo version of " Cut Off a Hand". It's dangerous, Cut Off a Hand". It's dangerous, Cut Off a Hand". It's dangerous, mainly for the eye. mainly for the eye. mainly for the eye. OK. Well, here we have a version OK. Well, here we have a version OK. Well, here we have a version that hasn't done much work on this type that hasn't done much work on this type that hasn't done much work on this type of board. Well, we can see that not all the of board. Well, we can see that not all the of board. Well, we can see that not all the plants are necessarily greyed, plants are necessarily greyed, plants are necessarily greyed, but there is still a significant but there is still a significant but there is still a significant proportion of them. Um, what's the goal? proportion of them. Um, what's the goal? proportion of them. Um, what's the goal? It's about arriving, uh, when you're on It's about arriving, uh, when you're on It's about arriving, uh, when you're on a crop that's already been worked on for a crop that's already been worked on for a crop that's already been worked on for some time by LIA, uh, some time by LIA, uh, some time by LIA, uh, how many weeds do you have to remove? how many weeds do you have to remove? how many weeds do you have to remove? Our goal is to Our goal is to Our goal is to remove them all. That's the goal. Well, of remove them all. That's the goal. Well, of remove them all. That's the goal. Well, of course there is a difference between the one course there is a difference between the one course there is a difference between the one we detect and the one we can also we detect and the one we can also we detect and the one we can also target. Here we can see that with the radish, it target. Here we can see that with the radish, it target. Here we can see that with the radish, it still has good coverage. So some of them still has good coverage. So some of them still has good coverage. So some of them are camouflaged. In any are camouflaged. In any are camouflaged. In any case, we can't reach them without case, we can't reach them without case, we can't reach them without touching the radish. So we touching the radish. So we touching the radish. So we prefer to avoid touching them, to avoid prefer to avoid touching them, to avoid prefer to avoid touching them, to avoid targeting them. targeting them. targeting them. And then on this configuration, we've And then on this configuration, we've And then on this configuration, we've never seen radu before, never seen radu before, never seen radu before, and then in 3 hours we took pictures. In one and then in 3 hours we took pictures. In one and then in 3 hours we took pictures. In one day, we built a model and day, we built a model and day, we built a model and here is the result we got. And to be here is the result we got. And to be here is the result we got. And to be honest, we're only at 8% of our capacity. We honest, we're only at 8% of our capacity. We honest, we're only at 8% of our capacity. We could do much better, but it would could do much better, but it would could do much better, but it would generally take a generally take a generally take a good week to achieve the good week to achieve the good week to achieve the desired effectiveness. But the machine desired effectiveness. But the machine desired effectiveness. But the machine continues to improve. The more continues to improve. The more continues to improve. The more you use it, the more the algorithm picks up you use it, the more the algorithm picks up you use it, the more the algorithm picks up images that are also adapted to images that are also adapted to images that are also adapted to your operation. And there you have it. your operation. And there you have it. your operation. And there you have it. And so, we will gradually achieve And so, we will gradually achieve And so, we will gradually achieve greater efficiency. The greater efficiency. The greater efficiency. The goal is to reach a speed of up to 1 km/h. goal is to reach a speed of up to 1 km/h. goal is to reach a speed of up to 1 km/h. All right. There, the device is currently All right. There, the device is currently All right. There, the device is currently covering the entire width of the board. covering the entire width of the board. covering the entire width of the board. But just like when we work But just like when we work But just like when we work with onions, for example, we have a weeding process. with onions, for example, we have a weeding process. with onions, for example, we have a weeding process. That means we can move That means we can move That means we can move faster with, I was going to say, work that is faster with, I was going to say, work that is faster with, I was going to say, work that is 2 or 3 cm wide. That's 2 or 3 cm wide. That's 2 or 3 cm wide. That's it. The idea on the onion, in your it. The idea on the onion, in your it. The idea on the onion, in your configurations even carrots, huh, would be configurations even carrots, huh, would be configurations even carrots, huh, would be to have a laser which is the advantage of the to have a laser which is the advantage of the to have a laser which is the advantage of the laser, is that we select the area laser, is that we select the area laser, is that we select the area that we can work thanks to the model. that we can work thanks to the model. that we can work thanks to the model. So the idea would be to work only So the idea would be to work only So the idea would be to work only the areas that you don't have access to with the areas that you don't have access to with the areas that you don't have access to with your mechanical weeder and therefore we your mechanical weeder and therefore we your mechanical weeder and therefore we could go faster because there would be could go faster because there would be could go faster because there would be less density to cover with less density to cover with less density to cover with the laser. the laser. the laser. This is one of the solutions to improve This is one of the solutions to improve This is one of the solutions to improve productivity. Do we productivity. Do we productivity. Do we need any need any need any special equipment on the tractor, such as GPS or an special equipment on the tractor, such as GPS or an special equipment on the tractor, such as GPS or an RTK system? RTK system? RTK system? I might have something more comfortable for the I might have something more comfortable for the I might have something more comfortable for the driver, but apart from that, uh, driver, but apart from that, uh, driver, but apart from that, uh, yes. Uh, we ran it with a yes. Uh, we ran it with a yes. Uh, we ran it with a tractor this week, we ran it tractor this week, we ran it tractor this week, we ran it with Kevin's dad's tractor with Kevin's dad's tractor with Kevin's dad's tractor . So without any options, without any . So without any options, without any . So without any options, without any information, it works. But it's true information, it works. But it's true information, it works. But it's true that the main thing is to have creeper speed that the main thing is to have creeper speed that the main thing is to have creeper speed as an option and it's still better with as an option and it's still better with as an option and it's still better with a hydraulic third point but that's all we a hydraulic third point but that's all we a hydraulic third point but that's all we ask. No need for a ask. No need for a ask. No need for a front power take-off. front power take-off. front power take-off. I'm with Petros here. Good morning. I'm with Petros here. Good morning. I'm with Petros here. Good morning. My name is Petros. co-founder at My name is Petros. co-founder at My name is Petros. co-founder at Terraics and my role is the CTO in the Terraics and my role is the CTO in the Terraics and my role is the CTO in the company. So I'm responsible for the company. So I'm responsible for the company. So I'm responsible for the technology and the product. We cofounded technology and the product. We cofounded technology and the product. We cofounded the company with Costadinos who is also a the company with Costadinos who is also a the company with Costadinos who is also a farmer and an engineer in background. We farmer and an engineer in background. We farmer and an engineer in background. We met in the university and we had the met in the university and we had the met in the university and we had the idea how we can create a solution for idea how we can create a solution for idea how we can create a solution for reducing the herbicide usage and have more reducing the herbicide usage and have more reducing the herbicide usage and have more organic food, better practices in organic food, better practices in organic food, better practices in farming. So the idea came after farming. So the idea came after farming. So the idea came after discussing with farmers and with discussing with farmers and with discussing with farmers and with personal background about the big personal background about the big personal background about the big problem of wids and we found that laser problem of wids and we found that laser problem of wids and we found that laser wedding is the most efficient way to do wedding is the most efficient way to do wedding is the most efficient way to do wedding without mechanical or herbicides wedding without mechanical or herbicides wedding without mechanical or herbicides us. us. us. What is your vision for the future of What is your vision for the future of What is your vision for the future of this robot? Our vision as a company is this robot? Our vision as a company is this robot? Our vision as a company is to create a solution which is compact, to create a solution which is compact, to create a solution which is compact, highly efficient, manufactured in the EU highly efficient, manufactured in the EU highly efficient, manufactured in the EU and is designed for European farms which and is designed for European farms which and is designed for European farms which means it's affordable, it's modular you means it's affordable, it's modular you means it's affordable, it's modular you can adapt considering your crop type, can adapt considering your crop type, can adapt considering your crop type, your greenhouse setup or open field and your greenhouse setup or open field and your greenhouse setup or open field and our focus is to provide the solution our focus is to provide the solution our focus is to provide the solution that is highly scalable and is that is highly scalable and is that is highly scalable and is accessible to a lot of farmers accessible to a lot of farmers accessible to a lot of farmers specifically. specifically. specifically. where greenesf type of crops like baby leaves carrots type of crops like baby leaves carrots type of crops like baby leaves carrots onions and this type of not only for big onions and this type of not only for big onions and this type of not only for big farm it's for all the farm in Europe farm it's for all the farm in Europe farm it's for all the farm in Europe it's for all farms because we designed it's for all farms because we designed it's for all farms because we designed it such a way that it can be also small it such a way that it can be also small it such a way that it can be also small and big which means that you can have a and big which means that you can have a and big which means that you can have a machine that has multiple laser boxes machine that has multiple laser boxes machine that has multiple laser boxes behind it which makes the machine behind it which makes the machine behind it which makes the machine modular But also you can have multiple modular But also you can have multiple modular But also you can have multiple machines. So you distribute them to machines. So you distribute them to machines. So you distribute them to different fields, different places and different fields, different places and different fields, different places and you can cover all your needs. So it's you can cover all your needs. So it's you can cover all your needs. So it's more suitable for farmers in Europe. more suitable for farmers in Europe. more suitable for farmers in Europe. It's an evolving technology. It's an evolving technology. It's an evolving technology. It's a very novel technology using It's a very novel technology using It's a very novel technology using artificial intelligence and robotics. We artificial intelligence and robotics. We artificial intelligence and robotics. We combine artificial intelligence because combine artificial intelligence because combine artificial intelligence because we recognize with millimeter precision we recognize with millimeter precision we recognize with millimeter precision every wed in your crop even in very every wed in your crop even in very every wed in your crop even in very difficult high density cases. And we difficult high density cases. And we difficult high density cases. And we also combine robotics because it's like also combine robotics because it's like also combine robotics because it's like a robotic system that behaves a robotic system that behaves a robotic system that behaves automatically. You just power it up, you automatically. You just power it up, you automatically. You just power it up, you set some parameters and it just set some parameters and it just set some parameters and it just understands and differentiates the crop understands and differentiates the crop understands and differentiates the crop and the and and the and and the and precision high. precision high. precision high. OK, thank you very much. OK, thank you very much. OK, thank you very much. Okay, Maxens, here we are in an Okay, Maxens, here we are in an Okay, Maxens, here we are in an onion-shaped plot. This is the destination we would have liked to onion-shaped plot. This is the destination we would have liked to onion-shaped plot. This is the destination we would have liked to try, but try, but try, but unfortunately time did not unfortunately time did not unfortunately time did not allow it. So. allow it. So. allow it. So. In practical terms, the question In practical terms, the question In practical terms, the question that arises is: at what that arises is: at what that arises is: at what point can it become profitable? We're not talking about the course right now point can it become profitable? We're not talking about the course right now point can it become profitable? We're not talking about the course right now . We're . We're . We're not talking about the price because, well, that's a not talking about the price because, well, that's a not talking about the price because, well, that's a secret. Uh, we'll be there if secret. Uh, we'll be there if secret. Uh, we'll be there if you ever want to contact us, if you you ever want to contact us, if you you ever want to contact us, if you need to. Yeah. need to. Yeah. need to. Yeah. Our address will be in the description. You can Our address will be in the description. You can Our address will be in the description. You can contact them to find out, but at what point in its contact them to find out, but at what point in its contact them to find out, but at what point in its use can it be use can it be use can it be profitable for a farm? profitable for a farm? profitable for a farm? For example, on your farm, For example, on your farm, For example, on your farm, roughly how many roughly how many roughly how many hours of manual weeding do you spend per hours of manual weeding do you spend per hours of manual weeding do you spend per hectare? Do you have any ideas? Well hectare? Do you have any ideas? Well hectare? Do you have any ideas? Well , we're looking at around 300 , we're looking at around 300 , we're looking at around 300 to 600 hours of maneuvering. So, in to 600 hours of maneuvering. So, in to 600 hours of maneuvering. So, in addition to onions and other crops, there are addition to onions and other crops, there are addition to onions and other crops, there are carrots, and possibly spinach. Well carrots, and possibly spinach. Well carrots, and possibly spinach. Well , there are perhaps , there are perhaps , there are perhaps other crops we could other crops we could other crops we could work with, but in any case, work with, but in any case, work with, but in any case, onions are already our main crop, I was going to say onions are already our main crop, I was going to say onions are already our main crop, I was going to say . . . The advantage of this machine is that it The advantage of this machine is that it The advantage of this machine is that it can work on all the can work on all the can work on all the crops on your farm. crops on your farm. crops on your farm. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So from the moment it will So from the moment it will So from the moment it will depend on the area you have depend on the area you have depend on the area you have weeded, but as soon as we are talking about 150 he weeded, but as soon as we are talking about 150 he weeded, but as soon as we are talking about 150 he of labor per hectare, then honestly the question doesn't of labor per hectare, then honestly the question doesn't of labor per hectare, then honestly the question doesn't even arise anymore. even arise anymore. even arise anymore. All right. It's starting to become really All right. It's starting to become really All right. It's starting to become really profitable. profitable. profitable. Yeah, of course. If you only have one Yeah, of course. If you only have one Yeah, of course. If you only have one hectare, that's a bit small, but uh, hectare, that's a bit small, but uh, hectare, that's a bit small, but uh, 10, 15, 20 hectares, then for me, the 10, 15, 20 hectares, then for me, the 10, 15, 20 hectares, then for me, the question arises, it no question arises, it no question arises, it no longer arises. longer arises. longer arises. And do you have any idea of the And do you have any idea of the And do you have any idea of the processing capacity? So, you're going to processing capacity? So, you're going to processing capacity? So, you're going to tell me, it will depend on the tell me, it will depend on the tell me, it will depend on the working width, the speed of advancement, but working width, the speed of advancement, but working width, the speed of advancement, but uh overall you estimate that you uh overall you estimate that you uh overall you estimate that you can do uh 10 uh 15 20 hectares can do uh 10 uh 15 20 hectares can do uh 10 uh 15 20 hectares of cultivation on average, that makes sense. of cultivation on average, that makes sense. of cultivation on average, that makes sense. That will really depend on what That will really depend on what That will really depend on what the working width is. the the working width is. the the working width is. the working width, but especially your working width, but especially your working width, but especially your weeding time. weeding time. weeding time. Yes. Yes. Yes. And your weeding spikes. So if you have And your weeding spikes. So if you have And your weeding spikes. So if you have crops that are fairly well crops that are fairly well crops that are fairly well distributed throughout the distributed throughout the distributed throughout the season, you will be able to use the season, you will be able to use the season, you will be able to use the machine all year round. machine all year round. machine all year round. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I'm thinking of beans, for example, which are good in I'm thinking of beans, for example, which are good in I'm thinking of beans, for example, which are good in July and August. July and August. July and August. Onions will be more of an April/May crop. Onions will be more of an April/May crop. Onions will be more of an April/May crop. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So in fact, you'll be able to use it, So in fact, you'll be able to use it, So in fact, you'll be able to use it, it's going to be more of a saturation by it's going to be more of a saturation by it's going to be more of a saturation by period, I think we'll have to period, I think we'll have to period, I think we'll have to check on the farm that really check on the farm that really check on the farm that really the limits of the machine because it's the limits of the machine because it's the limits of the machine because it's more... Can more... Can more... Can you help me you help me you help me possibly calculate, I was going to say possibly calculate, I was going to say possibly calculate, I was going to say the capacity of the machine according to the capacity of the machine according to the capacity of the machine according to the different typologies the different typologies the different typologies ? That's doable. We can ? That's doable. We can ? That's doable. We can discuss that depending on when discuss that depending on when discuss that depending on when you need it, how many passes you need it, how many passes you need it, how many passes we estimate, we estimate, we estimate, because I think that organic versus because I think that organic versus because I think that organic versus conventional, there may be an conventional, there may be an conventional, there may be an extra pass to make, especially fewer extra pass to make, especially fewer extra pass to make, especially fewer samples of products that are processed samples of products that are processed samples of products that are processed in batches. So these are things in batches. So these are things in batches. So these are things that are part of the support we that are part of the support we that are part of the support we will be able to provide next year will be able to provide next year will be able to provide next year to farmers as well. to farmers as well. to farmers as well. OK. So these machines are OK. So these machines are OK. So these machines are potentially available. So if potentially available. So if potentially available. So if we ever get in touch with you, there won't be we ever get in touch with you, there won't be we ever get in touch with you, there won't be many opportunities, so I was going to say many opportunities, so I was going to say many opportunities, so I was going to say hurry if you're really hurry if you're really hurry if you're really interested. Well, I looked at it interested. Well, I looked at it interested. Well, I looked at it seriously, we're going to discuss it. seriously, we're going to discuss it. seriously, we're going to discuss it. But anyway, this allows you But anyway, this allows you But anyway, this allows you to understand a little bit how it to understand a little bit how it to understand a little bit how it works. Well, I thought it was an works. Well, I thought it was an works. Well, I thought it was an interesting technology. Uh, it will interesting technology. Uh, it will interesting technology.

| Résumé=In this second part dedicated to agroecology in Benin, Antoine Troji, agronomist involved in the SAVABE project, presents the results of trials conducted in farming environments to combat root-knot nematodes in chili pepper cultivation. This multi-stakeholder project, funded by the European Union and the Embassy of the Netherlands, allowed testing endogenous and scientific innovations, such as the use of Crotalaria, African basil, or indigenous microorganisms.

The study highlights encouraging results for soil health, although adoption by producers requires constant adaptation to local economic and technical constraints. The discussion also addresses the crucial importance of the agroecological transition, supported by Edgar Deguénon who details the role of the Participatory Guarantee System (PGS) to certify and promote organic products in local markets, thus ensuring better profitability for farmers engaged in this sustainable approach.

Uh and so through this project, we were able Uh and so through this project, we were able Uh and so through this project, we were able to carry out a number of activities to carry out a number of activities to carry out a number of activities including trials in farmer environments for including trials in farmer environments for including trials in farmer environments for the management of nematode galls in the the management of nematode galls in the the management of nematode galls in the cultivation in Benin and in the cultivation in Benin and in the cultivation in Benin and in the cultivation of chili pepper in the south of cultivation of chili pepper in the south of cultivation of chili pepper in the south of Benin. Benin. Benin. I would like to thank the urban project I would like to thank the urban project I would like to thank the urban project already for giving me the floor to already for giving me the floor to already for giving me the floor to present some results. present some results. present some results. Uh first a few words about the SBGE project quickly. So it is a project Uh first a few words about the SBGE project quickly. So it is a project Uh first a few words about the SBGE project quickly. So it is a project in three countries, Benin, Burkina Faso and in three countries, Benin, Burkina Faso and in three countries, Benin, Burkina Faso and Mali. Mali. Mali. Uh it is a 5-year project that has been Uh it is a 5-year project that has been Uh it is a 5-year project that has been funded by the European Union and funded by the European Union and funded by the European Union and the Embassy of the Netherlands. So we have the Embassy of the Netherlands. So we have the Embassy of the Netherlands. So we have several partners involved several partners involved several partners involved in this project. So the World Vegetable in this project. So the World Vegetable in this project. So the World Vegetable Center hosting me uh in Benin. Center hosting me uh in Benin. Center hosting me uh in Benin. So we are within the ITA station at Baumcalavi. Uh there are the ITA at Baumcalavi. Uh there are the ITA at Baumcalavi. Uh there are the partners from Wageningen, the partners from Wageningen, the partners from Wageningen, the Dutch, the Sirad and then the the Dutch, the Sirad and then the the Dutch, the Sirad and then the national research partners from the national research partners from the national research partners from the three countries who have contributed three countries who have contributed three countries who have contributed significantly to this project. significantly to this project. significantly to this project. Uh just to Uh just to Uh just to add also so it is a project add also so it is a project add also so it is a project that works both on supply and that works both on supply and that works both on supply and demand. So on the supply side we had demand. So on the supply side we had demand. So on the supply side we had the package 3 that CAD implemented the package 3 that CAD implemented the package 3 that CAD implemented on agricultural practices but on agricultural practices but on agricultural practices but also our colleagues from WorldVeg who also also our colleagues from WorldVeg who also also our colleagues from WorldVeg who also worked on varieties worked on varieties worked on varieties and Wageningen who worked on the and Wageningen who worked on the and Wageningen who worked on the consumption of vegetables. consumption of vegetables. consumption of vegetables. So uh it is a project of different So uh it is a project of different So uh it is a project of different institutions. institutions. institutions. For us, for the work package 3 of the For us, for the work package 3 of the For us, for the work package 3 of the SVET project, so we had uh here work SVET project, so we had uh here work SVET project, so we had uh here work consisting of designing agroecological consisting of designing agroecological consisting of designing agroecological cropping systems in market gardening cropping systems in market gardening cropping systems in market gardening systems. systems. systems. And uh so at the beginning of the project, we And uh so at the beginning of the project, we And uh so at the beginning of the project, we carried out a large diagnostic on the carried out a large diagnostic on the carried out a large diagnostic on the production systems in the three production systems in the three production systems in the three countries. So we were able to reach more than countries. So we were able to reach more than countries. So we were able to reach more than 1200 producers, Benin, Burkina and 1200 producers, Benin, Burkina and 1200 producers, Benin, Burkina and Mali. Mali. Mali. And uh so we surveyed the And uh so we surveyed the And uh so we surveyed the producers’ practices from soil producers’ practices from soil producers’ practices from soil preparation to harvest preparation to harvest preparation to harvest including questions about including questions about including questions about fertilization, crop protection, fertilization, crop protection, fertilization, crop protection, sowing, irrigation. sowing, irrigation. sowing, irrigation. And so we were able to identify the And so we were able to identify the And so we were able to identify the main constraints of market gardening main constraints of market gardening main constraints of market gardening producers related to producers related to producers related to the use of pesticides or mineral the use of pesticides or mineral the use of pesticides or mineral fertilizers. Uh difficulties in fertilizers. Uh difficulties in fertilizers. Uh difficulties in terms of soil fertility and others terms of soil fertility and others terms of soil fertility and others also difficulties in pest also difficulties in pest also difficulties in pest management, particularly nematode management, particularly nematode management, particularly nematode galls but also bacterial galls but also bacterial galls but also bacterial wilt, management of acids which wilt, management of acids which wilt, management of acids which was a major issue was a major issue was a major issue since the invasion of the new pest in since the invasion of the new pest in since the invasion of the new pest in West Africa. We also West Africa. We also West Africa. We also worked on red spider mites on worked on red spider mites on worked on red spider mites on tomato, so the pranicus. tomato, so the pranicus. tomato, so the pranicus. So this diagnosis also allowed uh So this diagnosis also allowed uh So this diagnosis also allowed uh to identify endogenous innovations. to identify endogenous innovations. to identify endogenous innovations. So these are innovations that are So these are innovations that are So these are innovations that are little known to research uh that little known to research uh that little known to research uh deserve to be explored, deepened, deserve to be explored, deepened, deserve to be explored, deepened, uh and improved. And so there are uh and improved. And so there are uh and improved. And so there are a number of controlled or semi-controlled a number of controlled or semi-controlled a number of controlled or semi-controlled trials that have been trials that have been trials that have been set up through the project and set up through the project and set up through the project and partner projects where we were able to partner projects where we were able to partner projects where we were able to test endogenous innovations but test endogenous innovations but test endogenous innovations but also research innovations. also research innovations. also research innovations. What interests us here are What interests us here are What interests us here are rather the trials in farmer rather the trials in farmer rather the trials in farmer environments. environments. environments. So it was important for us to So it was important for us to So it was important for us to finally find and test innovations finally find and test innovations finally find and test innovations that clearly address a problem that clearly address a problem that clearly address a problem of producers. Uh of producers. Uh of producers. Uh uh so we organized participatory uh so we organized participatory uh so we organized participatory multi-stakeholder workshops with multi-stakeholder workshops with multi-stakeholder workshops with producers but not only producers but not only producers but not only also actors in the value chain to also actors in the value chain to also actors in the value chain to discuss innovations to be tested discuss innovations to be tested discuss innovations to be tested taking into account certain taking into account certain taking into account certain economic and social factors. uh you cannot economic and social factors. uh you cannot economic and social factors. uh you cannot test just anything with the test just anything with the test just anything with the producers uh if behind we know producers uh if behind we know producers uh if behind we know that adoption is impossible. that adoption is impossible. that adoption is impossible. That is to say we will make sure That is to say we will make sure That is to say we will make sure that these innovations are financially that these innovations are financially that these innovations are financially accessible uh and that the products accessible uh and that the products accessible uh and that the products for example tested and that for example tested and that for example tested and that we can find or produce them we can find or produce them we can find or produce them locally. So this was done locally. So this was done locally. So this was done through Focus Group workshops, through Focus Group workshops, through Focus Group workshops, video workshops including video workshops including video workshops including one where Romuald one where Romuald one where Romuald was able to participate. was able to participate. was able to participate. And so these trials in farmer And so these trials in farmer And so these trials in farmer environments uh there were several on environments uh there were several on environments uh there were several on nematode management, bacterial nematode management, bacterial nematode management, bacterial wilt management and acid wilt management and acid wilt management and acid management. When these innovations are When these innovations are When these innovations are validated through a participatory validated through a participatory validated through a participatory evaluation with producers, they are then evaluation with producers, they are then evaluation with producers, they are then disseminated through a network of disseminated through a network of disseminated through a network of demonstration plots in farmer demonstration plots in farmer demonstration plots in farmer environments. So in Benin, there were about environments. So in Benin, there were about environments. So in Benin, there were about twenty school farms twenty school farms twenty school farms to disseminate these practices. to disseminate these practices. to disseminate these practices. We realized that this was not We realized that this was not We realized that this was not sufficient and that it was important sufficient and that it was important sufficient and that it was important to strengthen the capacities of to strengthen the capacities of to strengthen the capacities of producers and extension actors on producers and extension actors on producers and extension actors on basic agronomic knowledge basic agronomic knowledge basic agronomic knowledge for example on for example on for example on identification and recognition identification and recognition identification and recognition of pest insects and distinguishing of pest insects and distinguishing of pest insects and distinguishing them from predatory insects them from predatory insects them from predatory insects and beneficial insects. uh training and beneficial insects. uh training and beneficial insects. uh training also on basic techniques also on basic techniques also on basic techniques on the use of synthetic on the use of synthetic on the use of synthetic pesticides because in fact we realize pesticides because in fact we realize pesticides because in fact we realize that everything is done that everything is done that everything is done used not necessarily in the used not necessarily in the used not necessarily in the right way and not necessarily in the right way and not necessarily in the right way and also training on the production also training on the production also training on the production and use of bio-inputs that can and use of bio-inputs that can and use of bio-inputs that can be self-produced. So we carried out be self-produced. So we carried out be self-produced. So we carried out training in farmer environments training in farmer environments training in farmer environments on technical aspects, video on technical aspects, video on technical aspects, video capsules in local language. capsules in local language. capsules in local language. So to come back a bit to our So to come back a bit to our So to come back a bit to our presentation now uh as you presentation now uh as you presentation now uh as you know in Benin and also in know in Benin and also in know in Benin and also in sub-Saharan Africa, the yields and sub-Saharan Africa, the yields and sub-Saharan Africa, the yields and quality of market garden quality of market garden quality of market garden production are well below the production are well below the production are well below the potential. potential. potential. Uh so this can be explained by Uh so this can be explained by Uh so this can be explained by various difficulties in terms of various difficulties in terms of various difficulties in terms of soil fertility, weather soil fertility, weather soil fertility, weather conditions, agronomic conditions, agronomic conditions, agronomic practices and strong pest practices and strong pest practices and strong pest and disease pressure especially in and disease pressure especially in and disease pressure especially in this tropical context with high this tropical context with high this tropical context with high heat and significant humidity. heat and significant humidity. heat and significant humidity. And so phytoparasitic nematodes And so phytoparasitic nematodes And so phytoparasitic nematodes are one of the major problems are one of the major problems are one of the major problems faced by market gardening faced by market gardening faced by market gardening producers. producers. producers. So here on the right, we have the So here on the right, we have the So here on the right, we have the famous nematode galls we famous nematode galls we famous nematode galls we talked about Romuald earlier. Uh talked about Romuald earlier. Uh talked about Romuald earlier. Uh which impacts production uh and which impacts production uh and which impacts production uh and obviously quality obviously quality obviously quality of crops. of crops. of crops. So uh the nematode affects different So uh the nematode affects different So uh the nematode affects different families of market gardening families of market gardening families of market gardening crops. Uh so crops. Uh so crops. Uh so it is a pest that is quite it is a pest that is quite it is a pest that is quite versatile. Uh so it disturbs the versatile. Uh so it disturbs the versatile. Uh so it disturbs the root system by entering root system by entering root system by entering it because its development cycle it because its development cycle it because its development cycle requires uh requires uh requires uh certain tall plants and this will certain tall plants and this will certain tall plants and this will reduce the absorption of reduce the absorption of reduce the absorption of nutrients and water and so it nutrients and water and so it nutrients and water and so it causes growth delay, wilting, a causes growth delay, wilting, a causes growth delay, wilting, a significant yield decrease and a significant yield decrease and a significant yield decrease and a decrease in crop quality. decrease in crop quality. decrease in crop quality. that within the Savage project, we that within the Savage project, we that within the Savage project, we were also able to conduct a study uh on were also able to conduct a study uh on were also able to conduct a study uh on uh these phytoparasitic nematodes uh uh these phytoparasitic nematodes uh uh these phytoparasitic nematodes uh in the south, center and in the in the south, center and in the in the south, center and in the north of Benin. And uh north of Benin. And uh north of Benin. And uh the most widespread genus of phytoparasitic the most widespread genus of phytoparasitic the most widespread genus of phytoparasitic nematode is Meloidogyne nematode is Meloidogyne nematode is Meloidogyne uh which was represented at 80% uh which was represented at 80% uh which was represented at 80% of all samples collected. of all samples collected. of all samples collected. Uh in terms of tall plants, we Uh in terms of tall plants, we Uh in terms of tall plants, we realized that it was on chili realized that it was on chili realized that it was on chili pepper that it was most present. Uh so pepper that it was most present. Uh so pepper that it was most present. Uh with maximum densities reaching with maximum densities reaching with maximum densities reaching 200 to 2150 200 to 2150 200 to 2150 per gram of root. Uh so here we see per gram of root. Uh so here we see per gram of root. Uh so here we see that it affects both the that it affects both the that it affects both the solanaceae, it can also affect uh solanaceae, it can also affect uh solanaceae, it can also affect uh other other crop families. other other crop families. other other crop families. So it is not specific to a single So it is not specific to a single So it is not specific to a single family. So nematodes look like family. So nematodes look like family. So nematodes look like this. So very small not visible this. So very small not visible this. So very small not visible to the naked eye. to the naked eye. to the naked eye. And so faced with these And so faced with these And so faced with these problems, producers use a certain problems, producers use a certain problems, producers use a certain number of chemical inputs, pesticides number of chemical inputs, pesticides number of chemical inputs, pesticides uh which are not necessarily uh which are not necessarily uh which are not necessarily adapted. As we can see here uh through adapted. As we can see here uh through adapted. As we can see here uh through this graph. Uh among the 379 this graph. Uh among the 379 this graph. Uh among the 379 surveyed producers, only 52% surveyed producers, only 52% surveyed producers, only 52% use nematicides to uh use nematicides to uh use nematicides to uh combat soil nematodes. combat soil nematodes. combat soil nematodes. Others use insecticides, others use insecticides, others use insecticides, fungicides and acaricides. So we see fungicides and acaricides. So we see fungicides and acaricides. So we see clearly a problem in terms of clearly a problem in terms of clearly a problem in terms of pesticide use. And pesticide use. And pesticide use. And among these nematicides, among these nematicides, among these nematicides, we find nemacur in we find nemacur in we find nemacur in majority but also use majority but also use majority but also use carbofuran, so furadan carbofuran, so furadan carbofuran, so furadan which is a banned product, which is a banned product, which is a banned product, highly dangerous according to WHO due highly dangerous according to WHO due highly dangerous according to WHO due to its toxicity to human health and to its toxicity to human health and to its toxicity to human health and to the environment. to the environment. to the environment. And also And also And also to add that none of these to add that none of these to add that none of these uh products are registered in Benin or in uh products are registered in Benin or in uh products are registered in Benin or in West Africa. So we clearly see West Africa. So we clearly see West Africa. So we clearly see the abusive or unreasoned use the abusive or unreasoned use the abusive or unreasoned use of these pesticides without real of these pesticides without real of these pesticides without real effectiveness on the ground because effectiveness on the ground because effectiveness on the ground because nematodes develop resistance nematodes develop resistance nematodes develop resistance to these inputs. So to these inputs. So to these inputs. So the idea of this trial in farmer the idea of this trial in farmer the idea of this trial in farmer environment was to evaluate agroecological environment was to evaluate agroecological environment was to evaluate agroecological alternatives for the management of alternatives for the management of alternatives for the management of nematode galls on chili pepper. nematode galls on chili pepper. nematode galls on chili pepper. So these are the innovations tested. So these are the innovations tested. So these are the innovations tested. As I said earlier, it was As I said earlier, it was As I said earlier, it was selected through a participatory selected through a participatory selected through a participatory approach involving producers approach involving producers approach involving producers in the reflections. in the reflections. in the reflections. And so the idea was both And so the idea was both And so the idea was both to bring innovations from research to bring innovations from research to bring innovations from research and endogenous innovations. and endogenous innovations. and endogenous innovations. So in red are the research So in red are the research So in red are the research innovations. So the first is innovations. So the first is innovations. So the first is the use of crotalaria the use of crotalaria the use of crotalaria which is a legume which is also a which is a legume which is also a which is a legume which is also a nitrogen-fixing plant nitrogen-fixing plant nitrogen-fixing plant known to produce bioactive known to produce bioactive known to produce bioactive compounds which have nematicidal compounds which have nematicidal compounds which have nematicidal activity. activity. activity. Uh ossimum gratissimum which is Uh ossimum gratissimum which is Uh ossimum gratissimum which is the chayo or African basil the chayo or African basil the chayo or African basil which unlike crotalaria which unlike crotalaria which unlike crotalaria which is not a commercial is not a commercial is not a commercial plant, the the the African basil plant, the the the African basil plant, the African basil is consumed in Benin. African basil is consumed in Benin. African basil is consumed in Benin. So it is a marketable plant. So it is a marketable plant. So it is a marketable plant. Uh it is integrated into crop rotations Uh it is integrated into crop rotations Uh it is integrated into crop rotations by producers to reduce by producers to reduce by producers to reduce precisely nematode pressure. precisely nematode pressure. precisely nematode pressure. So these are elements that were So these are elements that were So these are elements that were identified in the diagnosis. identified in the diagnosis. identified in the diagnosis. Uh Uh Uh and uh it is a plant recognized and uh it is a plant recognized and uh it is a plant recognized for its bioactive compounds and for its bioactive compounds and for its bioactive compounds and endowed with repellent endowed with repellent endowed with repellent properties, but it is not properties, but it is not properties, but it is not really known if there is an effect really known if there is an effect really known if there is an effect on nematodes to calm on nematodes to calm on nematodes to calm lesions. lesions. lesions. Uh the third innovation tested, Uh the third innovation tested, Uh the third innovation tested, are beneficial indigenous are beneficial indigenous are beneficial indigenous microorganisms. microorganisms. microorganisms. So it is uh so it is a so it is uh so it is a product from the fermentation product from the fermentation product from the fermentation of forest litter, milk, carbon source of forest litter, milk, carbon source of forest litter, milk, carbon source which can be rice bran or which can be rice bran or which can be rice bran or wood chips uh or wood chips uh or wood chips uh or wood chips. water, sugar or molasses water, sugar or molasses water, sugar or molasses are added and there are two are added and there are two are added and there are two aerobic and anaerobic aerobic and anaerobic aerobic and anaerobic fermentations to obtain these fermentations to obtain these fermentations to obtain these famous MABS. So uh famous MABS. So uh famous MABS. So uh they enrich the they enrich the they enrich the local microbial communities in local microbial communities in local microbial communities in lactobacilli, acobacteria and and many lactobacilli, acobacteria and and many lactobacilli, acobacteria and and many others. So it is a cocktail of others. So it is a cocktail of others. So it is a cocktail of microorganisms applied microorganisms applied microorganisms applied directly to the soil. So this directly to the soil. So this directly to the soil. So this strengthens soil health, resilience strengthens soil health, resilience strengthens soil health, resilience and can also play a role in and can also play a role in and can also play a role in biological control of some pests biological control of some pests biological control of some pests and pathogens. So here, we tested and pathogens. So here, we tested and pathogens. So here, we tested if there were effects on if there were effects on if there were effects on nematode galls. Uh 4th innovation nematode galls. Uh 4th innovation nematode galls. Uh 4th innovation tested are fermented fruit tested are fermented fruit tested are fermented fruit solutions. So this is a solutions. So this is a solutions. So this is a truly endogenous innovation truly endogenous innovation truly endogenous innovation little known to research. So in little known to research. So in little known to research. So in fact in northern Benin, we found fact in northern Benin, we found fact in northern Benin, we found that a number of producers that a number of producers that a number of producers make biostimulants make biostimulants make biostimulants based on orange juice, based on orange juice, based on orange juice, pineapple juice and coconut water pineapple juice and coconut water pineapple juice and coconut water and sugar that ferment and and sugar that ferment and and sugar that ferment and are applied to stimulate are applied to stimulate are applied to stimulate plant growth, mitigate plant growth, mitigate plant growth, mitigate also the effects of disease especially also the effects of disease especially also the effects of disease especially in the coastal strip of Benin. in the coastal strip of Benin. in the coastal strip of Benin. So we also think that these So we also think that these So we also think that these biostimulants can contribute and biostimulants can contribute and biostimulants can contribute and enrich local microbial enrich local microbial enrich local microbial communities. communities. communities. Uh so the setup was like this. Uh so the setup was like this. Uh so the setup was like this. So there were two cropping So there were two cropping So there were two cropping cycles established. Uh so on the cycles established. Uh so on the cycles established. Uh so on the left, we have the left, we have the left, we have the cycle 1 with the different cycle 1 with the different cycle 1 with the different modalities uh and the control. modalities uh and the control. modalities uh and the control. Uh so we had four Uh so we had four Uh so we had four replications on each site. Uh and in replications on each site. Uh and in replications on each site. Uh and cycle 2, we established chili cycle 2, we established chili cycle 2, we established chili everywhere. everywhere. everywhere. Uh so five modalities and it was Uh so five modalities and it was Uh so five modalities and it was repeated with five different repeated with five different repeated with five different producers in three locations producers in three locations producers in three locations in southern Benin on the sandy in southern Benin on the sandy in southern Benin on the sandy belt at Hida, POJI and belt at Hida, POJI and belt at Hida, POJI and then Grand Popo. then Grand Popo. then Grand Popo. So at the bottom left, we see the So at the bottom left, we see the So at the bottom left, we see the setup with the famous crotalaria setup with the famous crotalaria setup with the famous crotalaria and other modalities next to it. and other modalities next to it. and other modalities next to it. Uh, we carried out soil Uh, we carried out soil Uh, we carried out soil and root sampling to assess and root sampling to assess and root sampling to assess nematode density at nematode density at nematode density at cycle 1 and cycle 2. So at cycle 1 and cycle 2. So at cycle 1 and cycle 2. So at P0 beginning of cycle 1 P1 end of cycle 1, P2 beginning of cycle 1 P1 end of cycle 1, P2 beginning of cycle 1 P1 end of cycle 1, P2 beginning of cycle 2 and P3 end of cycle 2. Uh so these collections, cycle 2. Uh so these collections, cycle 2. Uh so these collections, counts, identification, were counts, identification, were counts, identification, were carried out by our partner FSA. carried out by our partner FSA. carried out by our partner FSA. from Abomey-Calavi University and from Abomey-Calavi University and from Abomey-Calavi University and the nematology laboratory of Dr. the nematology laboratory of Dr. the nematology laboratory of Dr. Faucon whom I greet here. Faucon whom I greet here. Faucon whom I greet here. Uh and so as a result, I will not Uh and so as a result, I will not Uh and so as a result, I will not present everything but some. Uh present everything but some. Uh present everything but some. Uh so here we have two graphs that so here we have two graphs that so here we have two graphs that show the dynamics of nematode show the dynamics of nematode show the dynamics of nematode populations of gall nematodes populations of gall nematodes populations of gall nematodes at different at different at different cycles. at cycle 1, in light cycles. at cycle 1, in light cycles. at cycle 1, in light color, it is at the beginning color, it is at the beginning color, it is at the beginning of cycle 1 and in dark of cycle 1 and in dark of cycle 1 and in dark color at the end of cycle 1. Uh color at the end of cycle 1. Uh color at the end of cycle 1. Uh so, we observe a significant so, we observe a significant so, we observe a significant increase for all treatments increase for all treatments increase for all treatments in nematode gall density in in nematode gall density in in nematode gall density in the soil, except for treatment T1 the soil, except for treatment T1 the soil, except for treatment T1 which is the treatment uh which is the treatment uh which is the treatment uh with crotalaria. with crotalaria. with crotalaria. Uh so we see that there is a Uh so we see that there is a Uh so we see that there is a suppressive effect uh of crotalaria suppressive effect uh of crotalaria suppressive effect uh of crotalaria on nematode gall density. On cycle 2, we observe on nematode gall density. On cycle 2, we observe on nematode gall density. On cycle 2, we observe however an increase uh in however an increase uh in however an increase uh in nematode densities uh in nematode densities uh in nematode densities uh in all treatments, even on all treatments, even on all treatments, even on T1. T1. T1. HH HH HH sorry. sorry. sorry. Here, we have another graph uh which Here, we have another graph uh which Here, we have another graph uh which shows that compares nematode shows that compares nematode shows that compares nematode gall densities between different gall densities between different gall densities between different treatments at different times. So treatments at different times. So treatments at different times. So on the left, we have nematode on the left, we have nematode on the left, we have nematode densities uh at the beginning of densities uh at the beginning of densities uh at the beginning of cycle 1. So, cycle 1. So, cycle 1. So, we observe no significant we observe no significant we observe no significant difference in density, which difference in density, which difference in density, which is quite normal before is quite normal before is quite normal before application of practices and application of practices and application of practices and innovations. innovations. innovations. At T1 sorry at the end of cycle 1, At T1 sorry at the end of cycle 1, At T1 sorry at the end of cycle 1, we observe that T1 has the lowest we observe that T1 has the lowest we observe that T1 has the lowest nematode density followed by T2. nematode density followed by T2. nematode density followed by T2. So T1 was the use of crotalaria, So T1 was the use of crotalaria, So T1 was the use of crotalaria, T2 was the use of crotalaria, T2 was the use of crotalaria, T2 was the use of crotalaria, T2 the use of African basil T2 the use of African basil T2 the use of African basil also even big man. also even big man. also even big man. Uh then we have the use of Uh then we have the use of Uh then we have the use of microorganisms uh liquid biostimulants microorganisms uh liquid biostimulants microorganisms uh liquid biostimulants for T3 and T4. And finally for for T3 and T4. And finally for for T3 and T4. And finally for t0, we have the highest t0, we have the highest t0, we have the highest nematode density. nematode density. nematode density. Uh Uh Uh so the graph on the right is at so the graph on the right is at so the graph on the right is at the end of cycle 2. So here the end of cycle 2. So here the end of cycle 2. So here paradoxically we observe that paradoxically we observe that paradoxically we observe that the T0 plot has a nematode the T0 plot has a nematode the T0 plot has a nematode density significantly density significantly density significantly different from the other different from the other different from the other treatments. Quite surprising. treatments. Quite surprising. treatments. Quite surprising. So we clearly see So we clearly see So we clearly see that crotalaria, crotalaria has a that crotalaria, crotalaria has a that crotalaria, crotalaria has a suppressive effect on nematodes suppressive effect on nematodes suppressive effect on nematodes but it decreases over time. This but it decreases over time. This but it decreases over time. This is what other researchers have is what other researchers have is what other researchers have is highlighted, that about 70 highlighted, that about 70 highlighted, that about 70 days after incorporation of crotalaria days after incorporation of crotalaria days after incorporation of crotalaria into the soil, nematode densities into the soil, nematode densities into the soil, nematode densities return to normal. return to normal. return to normal. That’s it. That’s it. That’s it. Uh and also to specify uh so the Uh and also to specify uh so the Uh and also to specify uh so the life cycle of Meloidogyne at 30°, life cycle of Meloidogyne at 30°, life cycle of Meloidogyne at 30°, is between 15 and 20 days to show is between 15 and 20 days to show is between 15 and 20 days to show you a bit the speed of the you a bit the speed of the you a bit the speed of the cycles and that a female can produce cycles and that a female can produce cycles and that a female can produce up to 140 nematodes up to 140 nematodes up to 140 nematodes at the second juvenile stage in at the second juvenile stage in at the second juvenile stage in just one week. So we see a just one week. So we see a just one week. So we see a bit of the explosion bit of the explosion bit of the explosion in terms of nematode in terms of nematode in terms of nematode population that can come in a few population that can come in a few population that can come in a few days only. We also days only. We also days only. We also looked at chili pepper yields. looked at chili pepper yields. looked at chili pepper yields. So here we have the So here we have the So here we have the graph showing chili graph showing chili graph showing chili pepper yields for Grand Popoida pepper yields for Grand Popoida pepper yields for Grand Popoida and Semici. and Semici. and Semici. So it is in grams per meter So it is in grams per meter So it is in grams per meter square. square. square. Uh so we have quite Uh so we have quite Uh so we have quite limited results, limited improvement limited results, limited improvement limited results, limited improvement of practices. Uh no significant of practices. Uh no significant of practices. Uh no significant difference for Grand Popo and we difference for Grand Popo and we difference for Grand Popo and we still observe some higher yields still observe some higher yields still observe some higher yields compared to controls for Grand Popo compared to controls for Grand Popo compared to controls for Grand Popo for Wida also with the for Wida also with the for Wida also with the crotalaria, we observe one of crotalaria, we observe one of crotalaria, we observe one of the best yields but it is not the best yields but it is not the best yields but it is not significantly different only significantly different only significantly different only at its we observe a significant at its we observe a significant at its we observe a significant yield difference. yield difference. yield difference. So we can say that this is a So we can say that this is a So we can say that this is a somewhat limited improvement somewhat limited improvement somewhat limited improvement despite expectations despite expectations despite expectations on the nematicidal and on the nematicidal and on the nematicidal and fertilizing effect of crotalaria. fertilizing effect of crotalaria. fertilizing effect of crotalaria. Uh Uh Uh so there are three factors so there are three factors so there are three factors that can explain this. Uh that can explain this. Uh that can explain this. Uh so as I said earlier, so as I said earlier, so as I said earlier, a very fast life cycle of a very fast life cycle of a very fast life cycle of nematodes. nematodes. nematodes. Uh there may also be a nutritive Uh there may also be a nutritive Uh there may also be a nutritive asynchrony. So in fact the residues asynchrony. So in fact the residues asynchrony. So in fact the residues of crotalaria will release nitrogen but of crotalaria will release nitrogen but of crotalaria will release nitrogen but this release is delayed relative this release is delayed relative this release is delayed relative to the peak demand of chili to the peak demand of chili to the peak demand of chili pepper which is roughly pepper which is roughly pepper which is roughly at flowering, about 9 at flowering, about 9 at flowering, about 9 weeks after incorporation. weeks after incorporation. weeks after incorporation. And there could also potentially And there could also potentially And there could also potentially be an allelopathic effect of be an allelopathic effect of be an allelopathic effect of crotalaria. As I said earlier, crotalaria. As I said earlier, crotalaria. As I said earlier, it produces natural it produces natural it produces natural compounds through its roots compounds through its roots compounds through its roots which may be nematicidal but which may be nematicidal but which may be nematicidal but may also limit the growth may also limit the growth may also limit the growth of peppers and thus cancel out of peppers and thus cancel out of peppers and thus cancel out the benefits on the the suppression the benefits on the the suppression the benefits on the the suppression of nematodes and on soil of nematodes and on soil of nematodes and on soil enrichment. Nevertheless, it is the enrichment. Nevertheless, it is the enrichment. Nevertheless, it is the trial in farmer trial in farmer trial in farmer environments showed several environments showed several environments showed several things. So it allowed producers things. So it allowed producers things. So it allowed producers to have a visual comparison to have a visual comparison to have a visual comparison of these practices. Uh so we observed a reduction of nematode galls of nematode galls of nematode galls in soils uh a reduction of in soils uh a reduction of in soils uh a reduction of symptoms of Ralstonia so bacterial symptoms of Ralstonia so bacterial symptoms of Ralstonia so bacterial wilt shown here at the top right wilt shown here at the top right wilt shown here at the top right in the concé. We tried to understand in the concé. We tried to understand in the concé. We tried to understand if it was really the if it was really the if it was really the nematode causing this. So nematode causing this. So nematode causing this. So it was indeed the Ralstonia wilt it was indeed the Ralstonia wilt it was indeed the Ralstonia wilt present in the plant. Our present in the plant. Our present in the plant. Our hypothesis also is that hypothesis also is that hypothesis also is that nematodes also open roots nematodes also open roots nematodes also open roots so they penetrate roots so they penetrate roots so they penetrate roots and create an opening and create an opening and create an opening that facilitates the bacteria that facilitates the bacteria that facilitates the bacteria Ralstonia and so it can enter Ralstonia and so it can enter Ralstonia and so it can enter the roots more easily and thus the roots more easily and thus the roots more easily and thus reach the plant. reach the plant. reach the plant. We observed better We observed better We observed better vigor of chili peppers. It was vigor of chili peppers. It was vigor of chili peppers. It was a trend, it was not necessarily a trend, it was not necessarily a trend, it was not necessarily the case everywhere. So here the case everywhere. So here the case everywhere. So here at the bottom left, we see at the bottom left, we see at the bottom left, we see chili peppers that benefited chili peppers that benefited chili peppers that benefited from the previous crotalaria and from the previous crotalaria and from the previous crotalaria and on the right the previous control on the right the previous control on the right the previous control plot. plot. plot. Uh so leaving allowed producers Uh so leaving allowed producers Uh so leaving allowed producers to learn by doing so it is to learn by doing so it is to learn by doing so it is testing new testing new testing new practices uh practices uh practices uh but well, did these but well, did these but well, did these practices really get adopted practices really get adopted practices really get adopted later by producers as later by producers as later by producers as explained finally later by producers as explained finally later by producers as explained finally uh first I will present the uh first I will present the uh first I will present the first part. So we saw, first part. So we saw, first part. So we saw, the use of crotalaria is the use of crotalaria is the use of crotalaria is effective but only a few effective but only a few effective but only a few weeks after incorporation weeks after incorporation weeks after incorporation of the residue. So limited of the residue. So limited of the residue. So limited effectiveness over time, even if it is effectiveness over time, even if it is effectiveness over time, even if it is well proven scientifically well proven scientifically well proven scientifically that it is effective. Uh as Romuald said, that it is effective. Uh as Romuald said, that it is effective. Uh as Romuald said, non-marketable crops non-marketable crops non-marketable crops are difficult to implement are difficult to implement are difficult to implement in a market gardening in urban in a market gardening in urban in a market gardening in urban or peri-urban area because in fact or peri-urban area because in fact or peri-urban area because in fact we are on very limited spaces uh we are on very limited spaces uh we are on very limited spaces uh where producers usually where producers usually where producers usually grow high-value grow high-value grow high-value crops where economically you have crops where economically you have crops where economically you have to make a living, there is the cost to make a living, there is the cost to make a living, there is the cost of renting the cost of renting the cost of renting the land of the plot. So well, land of the plot. So well, land of the plot. So well, difficult to do a GHR for several difficult to do a GHR for several difficult to do a GHR for several months without having income months without having income months without having income directly. And in terms of limits, we directly. And in terms of limits, we directly. And in terms of limits, we saw that there was a low saw that there was a low saw that there was a low perception of the fertilizing perception of the fertilizing perception of the fertilizing effect of crotalaria. effect of crotalaria. effect of crotalaria. So adoption was difficult So adoption was difficult So adoption was difficult obviously. Uh and so following that, we obviously. Uh and so following that, we obviously. Uh and so following that, we held a small workshop between held a small workshop between held a small workshop between the pilot producers who set up the the pilot producers who set up the the pilot producers who set up the trials to understand the trials to understand the trials to understand the limits and maybe find the limits and maybe find the limits and maybe find alternatives and how to adapt alternatives and how to adapt alternatives and how to adapt this plant in their cropping this plant in their cropping this plant in their cropping system that can respond to their system that can respond to their system that can respond to their problems, their constraints and problems, their constraints and problems, their constraints and that uh well that that uh well that that uh well that that can directly benefit the producer. can directly benefit the producer. can directly benefit the producer. So the idea was to So the idea was to So the idea was to directly associate directly associate directly associate crotalarias with crotalarias with crotalarias with market gardening crops, often the market gardening crops, often the market gardening crops, often the most infested with nematode galls. most infested with nematode galls. most infested with nematode galls. So here we have on different So here we have on different So here we have on different sites some images. So here we have the sites some images. So here we have the sites some images. So here we have the crotalaria associated crotalaria associated crotalaria associated with boma. Oboma who films with boma. Oboma who films with boma. Oboma who films an African eggplant whose leaves an African eggplant whose leaves an African eggplant whose leaves are consumed. are consumed. are consumed. [growl] Uh here we have the association [growl] Uh here we have the association [growl] Uh here we have the association Crotalaria Chili. Crotalaria Chili. Crotalaria Chili. So here we are at Wikodi in Hida. So here we are at Wikodi in Hida. So here we are at Wikodi in Hida. So the producer So the producer So the producer was initially afraid of competition was initially afraid of competition was initially afraid of competition between the different crops and between the different crops and between the different crops and finally he realized that finally he realized that finally he realized that the biomass of chili peppers was the biomass of chili peppers was the biomass of chili peppers was much more developed when much more developed when much more developed when associated with crotalaria compared associated with crotalaria compared associated with crotalaria compared to plots where to plots where to plots where he had pure chili pepper he had pure chili pepper he had pure chili pepper crops. Uh he was able to reduce also crops. Uh he was able to reduce also crops. Uh he was able to reduce also his watering uh because here we see his watering uh because here we see his watering uh because here we see a bit, there is a crotalaria mulch a bit, there is a crotalaria mulch a bit, there is a crotalaria mulch regularly applied. So when the regularly applied. So when the regularly applied. So when crotalaria takes up too much space, crotalaria takes up too much space, crotalaria takes up too much space, hop, it is removed. and it is introduced hop, it is removed. and it is introduced hop, it is removed. and it is introduced at the foot of the plants. at the foot of the plants. at the foot of the plants. So less watering, uh less So less watering, uh less So less watering, uh less addition also of mineral fertilizers addition also of mineral fertilizers addition also of mineral fertilizers uh and uh so there is less uh and uh so there is less uh and uh so there is less leaching as well leaching as well leaching as well and I think crotalaria also and I think crotalaria also and I think crotalaria also provides some shading for some provides some shading for some provides some shading for some crops and this is not necessarily crops and this is not necessarily crops and this is not necessarily a bad thing in a tropical a bad thing in a tropical a bad thing in a tropical climate. climate. climate. So on the right, we have the So on the right, we have the So on the right, we have the association with So on the right, we have the association with So on the right, we have the association with maranta and crotalaria. maranta and crotalaria. maranta and crotalaria. More surprisingly the peanut More surprisingly the peanut More surprisingly the peanut crotalaria association at a crotalaria association at a crotalaria association at a producer, which is quite producer, which is quite producer, which is quite atypical because we are on atypical because we are on atypical because we are on two legumes. two legumes. two legumes. Uh onion associated with Uh onion associated with Uh onion associated with crotalaria, so here we have crotalaria, so here we have crotalaria, so here we have Simicoji. Simicoji. Simicoji. Other producers uh rather Other producers uh rather Other producers uh rather put crotalaria on the put crotalaria on the put crotalaria on the edges of the plots edges of the plots edges of the plots uh and bring the residues, the uh and bring the residues, the uh and bring the residues, the mulch of these crotalarias mulch of these crotalarias mulch of these crotalarias directly into the crops, so as directly into the crops, so as directly into the crops, so as mulch to both limit mulch to both limit mulch to both limit weeds, limit watering weeds, limit watering weeds, limit watering and to more easily multiply and to more easily multiply and to more easily multiply seeds because when seeds because when seeds because when you introduce it you introduce it you introduce it directly into the crops directly into the crops directly into the crops Uh it is necessary that the it is necessary that the it is necessary that the crotalaria completes its crotalaria completes its crotalaria completes its full cycle so more than 3 full cycle so more than 3 full cycle so more than 3 full cycle months and when associated with months and when associated with months and when associated with short cycle crops, it can be short cycle crops, it can be short cycle crops, it can be a bit more complicated but a bit more complicated but a bit more complicated but it is not impossible. it is not impossible. it is not impossible. Uh so here, we were able to Uh so here, we were able to Uh so here, we were able to observe or observe or observe or producers, we can observe a producers, we can observe a producers, we can observe a greater biodiversity when greater biodiversity when greater biodiversity when crops were associated crops were associated crops were associated with each other with predatory with each other with predatory with each other with predatory insects such as coccinellids. insects such as coccinellids. insects such as coccinellids. We also saw macrolus We also saw macrolus We also saw macrolus coccinellids on several coccinellids on several coccinellids on several crotalaria plants. So uh on crotalaria plants. So uh on crotalaria plants. So these are insects, small these are insects, small these are insects, small bugs that consume both bugs that consume both bugs that consume both whiteflies, I believe whiteflies, I believe whiteflies, I believe it was eggs of Toutar uh it was eggs of Toutar uh it was eggs of Toutar uh and uh red spider mites of and uh red spider mites of and uh red spider mites of tomato, tetramitus. also tomato, tetramitus. also tomato, tetramitus. also many more pollinating many more pollinating many more pollinating insects as it is a melliferous insects as it is a melliferous insects as it is a melliferous plant, there are many bees plant, there are many bees plant, there are many bees and bumblebees that come and and bumblebees that come and and bumblebees that come and collect and at the same time collect and at the same time collect and at the same time pollinate the surrounding pollinate the surrounding pollinate the surrounding crops. crops. crops. Uh so here, we clearly see a Uh so here, we clearly see a Uh so here, we clearly see a plant cover due to the plant cover due to the plant cover due to the fallen leaves on the fallen leaves on the fallen leaves on the soil. we have soil. we have soil. we have insects that will insects that will insects that will degrade this degrade this degrade this organic matter. organic matter. organic matter. Uh so here, we have an Uh so here, we have an Uh so here, we have an association between association between association between chili pepper and crotalaria. chili pepper and crotalaria. chili pepper and crotalaria. Uh we also clearly observe the Uh we also clearly observe the Uh we also clearly observe the famous nodules uh of crotalaria. famous nodules uh of crotalaria. famous nodules uh of crotalaria. So obviously some producers So obviously some producers So obviously some producers were initially afraid. At first, they were initially afraid. At first, they were initially afraid. At first, they thought these At first, they thought these At first, they thought these were nematode galls and so were nematode galls and so were nematode galls and so they say "Ah but believe it or they say "Ah but believe it or they say "Ah but believe it or not." So it is important to not." So it is important to not." So it is important to explain what explain what explain what these nodules really are. these nodules really are. these nodules really are. So these are bacteria that fix So these are bacteria that fix So these are bacteria that fix to the roots of legumes and to the roots of legumes and to the roots of legumes and will fix nitrogen from the air will fix nitrogen from the air will fix nitrogen from the air into the soil and thus make into the soil and thus make into the soil and thus make it available to crops. When it is associated it available to crops. When it is associated it available to crops. When it is associated to market gardening crops, it is to market gardening crops, it is to market gardening crops, it is directly uh well uh sent. directly uh well uh sent. directly uh well uh sent. Uh there are uh Uh there are uh Uh there are uh still some difficulties and still some difficulties and still some difficulties and key points to consider in key points to consider in key points to consider in terms of density. So here, we are at SPJ terms of density. So here, we are at SPJ terms of density. So here, we are at SPJ still. still. still. We have a producer who We have a producer who We have a producer who associated crotalaria with his associated crotalaria with his associated crotalaria with his chili pepper. So here, we do not chili pepper. So here, we do not chili pepper. So here, we do not see the chili pepper because see the chili pepper because see the chili pepper because crotalaria took over. So crotalaria took over. So crotalaria took over. So here, obviously the yields here, obviously the yields here, obviously the yields were very poor. So there were were very poor. So there were were very poor. So there are spacings to be spacings to be spacings to be respected. respected. respected. Uh there is also a planting of Uh there is also a planting of Uh there is also a planting of crotalaria to be respected. On crotalaria to be respected. On crotalaria to be respected. On the right, we have the carrot the right, we have the carrot the right, we have the carrot associated with crotalaria where associated with crotalaria where associated with crotalaria where crotalaria was sown at the crotalaria was sown at the crotalaria was sown at the same time as the carrot. Whereas same time as the carrot. Whereas same time as the carrot. Whereas it is better to wait 3 to 4 it is better to wait 3 to 4 it is better to wait 3 to 4 weeks for the carrot to weeks for the carrot to weeks for the carrot to germinate, grow and then germinate, grow and then germinate, grow and then associate crotalaria. associate crotalaria. associate crotalaria. So well, it does not always So well, it does not always So well, it does not always work the first time, but uh work the first time, but uh work the first time, but uh when it works uh the results when it works uh the results when it works uh the results are quite noticeable. are quite noticeable. are quite noticeable. Uh and there is also a difficulty Uh and there is also a difficulty Uh and there is also a difficulty in managing seed stocks. in managing seed stocks. in managing seed stocks. As I said earlier, you can As I said earlier, you can As I said earlier, you can associate it with crops, but if associate it with crops, but if associate it with crops, but if you pull it out before it reaches you pull it out before it reaches you pull it out before it reaches its seed multiplication cycle, its seed multiplication cycle, its seed multiplication cycle, you can quickly run out of you can quickly run out of you can quickly run out of seed. So it is important to seed. So it is important to seed. So it is important to associate it with long associate it with long associate it with long cycle crops in some places or cycle crops in some places or cycle crops in some places or put it on the edges to put it on the edges to put it on the edges to maintain its nodules. maintain its nodules. maintain its nodules. Uh so here, we have some Uh so here, we have some Uh so here, we have some visual results from a producer in visual results from a producer in visual results from a producer in Aida who associated so put his Aida who associated so put his Aida who associated so put his carrot in pure carrot in pure carrot in pure culture, applied his fertilization culture, applied his fertilization culture, applied his fertilization as mineral fertilizer as mineral fertilizer as mineral fertilizer and poultry manure. So we and poultry manure. So we and poultry manure. So we clearly observe the clearly observe the clearly observe the famous nematode galls famous nematode galls famous nematode galls and on the right we have the carrot and on the right we have the carrot and on the right we have the carrot associated with crotalaria and also associated with crotalaria and also associated with crotalaria and also fertilized with bokashi. fertilized with bokashi. fertilized with bokashi. So boka is a balanced So boka is a balanced So boka is a balanced organic fertilizer, quite rich and organic fertilizer, quite rich and organic fertilizer, quite rich and also enriched with microorganisms. also enriched with microorganisms. also enriched with microorganisms. So in its production, yeast So in its production, yeast So in its production, yeast are added. are added. are added. Unfortunately, we could not Unfortunately, we could not Unfortunately, we could not finally the producer did not finally the producer did not finally the producer did not weigh to compare weigh to compare weigh to compare yields, but at least in yields, but at least in yields, but at least in terms of sales quality, he was able terms of sales quality, he was able terms of sales quality, he was able to sell at a better price obviously to sell at a better price obviously to sell at a better price obviously his beautiful carrots, even if his beautiful carrots, even if his beautiful carrots, even if there are still some nematode galls there are still some nematode galls there are still some nematode galls but much less than on the but much less than on the but much less than on the control plot. control plot. control plot. Uh Uh Uh and uh here we are at Sempoji. So and uh here we are at Sempoji. So and uh here we are at Sempoji. So it was last week uh a it was last week uh a it was last week uh a female producer sent me these female producer sent me these female producer sent me these images. images. images. She was able to weigh her She was able to weigh her She was able to weigh her carrots. So here we are on carrots. So here we are on carrots. So here we are on pure carrot fertilization, pure carrot fertilization, pure carrot fertilization, sorry, carrot in pure culture, sorry, carrot in pure culture, sorry, carrot in pure culture, mineral fertilization and mineral fertilization and mineral fertilization and poultry manure. And she was able poultry manure. And she was able poultry manure. And she was able to harvest about 2 kg per to harvest about 2 kg per to harvest about 2 kg per plot uh on these plots with plot uh on these plots with plot uh on these plots with agroecological practices agroecological practices agroecological practices associated, so crotalaria associated, so crotalaria associated, so crotalaria and use of organic fertilization. and use of organic fertilization. and use of organic fertilization. So here it was vermicompost. So here it was vermicompost. So here it was vermicompost. We were at yields four times We were at yields four times We were at yields four times higher higher higher uh uh uh and uh and uh and uh well, I I had something else well, I I had something else well, I I had something else to say but I forgot. to say but I forgot. to say but I forgot. Uh yes, so what I wanted to say Uh yes, so what I wanted to say Uh yes, so what I wanted to say also is so it is good to see also is so it is good to see also is so it is good to see yields, to see the quality yields, to see the quality yields, to see the quality of production, but now the work of production, but now the work of production, but now the work remaining to be done is to see remaining to be done is to see remaining to be done is to see economically by bringing in economically by bringing in economically by bringing in inputs what the producer inputs what the producer inputs what the producer gains gains gains because there is also a cost because there is also a cost because there is also a cost behind the purchase of these behind the purchase of these behind the purchase of these vermicomposts. Well, the advantage vermicomposts. Well, the advantage vermicomposts. Well, the advantage of crotalaria is that when of crotalaria is that when of crotalaria is that when you have the seed, you can multiply. you have the seed, you can multiply. you have the seed, you can multiply. So it is a crop that does not So it is a crop that does not So it is a crop that does not require financial require financial require financial investment. investment. investment. Uh but well, in any case these are Uh but well, in any case these are Uh but well, in any case these are studies that need to be studies that need to be studies that need to be continued. continued. continued. Uh but we have a real adoption Uh but we have a real adoption Uh but we have a real adoption by producers who see the interest by producers who see the interest by producers who see the interest of these agroecological of these agroecological of these agroecological practices. practices. practices. Just to conclude, uh Just to conclude, uh Just to conclude, uh I will present some I will present some I will present some obstacles to agroecological obstacles to agroecological obstacles to agroecological transition in Benin. So the first transition in Benin. So the first transition in Benin. So the first obstacle is the lack of obstacle is the lack of obstacle is the lack of agronomic knowledge. Uh so we have agronomic knowledge. Uh so we have agronomic knowledge. Uh so we have producers who are not producers who are not producers who are not necessarily trained, who learn necessarily trained, who learn necessarily trained, who learn on the job uh who think on the job uh who think on the job uh that insects on the job uh who think on the job uh that insects are bad. So it is necessary are bad. So it is necessary are bad. So it is necessary to destroy absolutely everything. to destroy absolutely everything. to destroy absolutely everything. We have a producer who We have a producer who We have a producer who removed all her crotalaria removed all her crotalaria removed all her crotalaria because she observed insects because she observed insects because she observed insects on it. So well, it is on it. So well, it is on it. So well, it is necessary to start over. uh so it is necessary to start over. uh so it is necessary to start over. uh so it is important to carry out uh so it is important to carry out uh so it is important to carry out training in farmer training in farmer training in farmer environments obviously in local environments obviously in local environments obviously in local language. uh language. uh language. uh first explain how to first explain how to first explain how to do chemical treatments do chemical treatments do chemical treatments correctly before moving correctly before moving correctly before moving on to more complicated on to more complicated on to more complicated things and obviously train things and obviously train things and obviously train them then on alternatives on them then on alternatives on them then on alternatives on the use of agroecological on the use of agroecological on the use of agroecological practices. practices. practices. Uh labor time and production Uh labor time and production Uh labor time and production costs can in some cases costs can in some cases costs can in some cases increase increase increase in the agroecological in the agroecological in the agroecological transition. time in the agroecological transition. time in the agroecological transition. For example, for those who want For example, for those who want For example, for those who want to make their own bio-inputs to make their own bio-inputs to make their own bio-inputs uh at the treatment level, we are uh at the treatment level, we are uh at the treatment level, we are on much lower residues on much lower residues on much lower residues compared to chemical compared to chemical compared to chemical pesticides. So it is also pesticides. So it is also pesticides. So it is also necessary when making necessary when making necessary when making these bio-inputs yourself to collect these bio-inputs yourself to collect these bio-inputs yourself to collect raw materials. So raw materials. So raw materials. So it takes some time. It takes some time. It takes some time. So as a lever, there is the famous So as a lever, there is the famous So as a lever, there is the famous small-scale mechanization for small-scale mechanization for small-scale mechanization for soil work but not only soil work but not only soil work but not only for the production of bio-inputs for the production of bio-inputs for the production of bio-inputs uh with uh grinders and others. uh with uh grinders and others. uh with uh grinders and others. uh that can be found in uh that can be found in uh that can be found in biofactory units. biofactory units. biofactory units. Uh at the level of production Uh at the level of production Uh at the level of production costs, there is a real costs, there is a real costs, there is a real need for producers to need for producers to need for producers to associate with each other for associate with each other for associate with each other for mutualized production of inputs mutualized production of inputs mutualized production of inputs and uh also interactions with and uh also interactions with and uh also interactions with actors, entrepreneurs who actors, entrepreneurs who actors, entrepreneurs who propose solutions but producers propose solutions but producers propose solutions but do not necessarily know do not necessarily know do not necessarily know the presence and effectiveness. the presence and effectiveness. the presence and effectiveness. One of the uh One of the uh One of the uh most important obstacles is most important obstacles is most important obstacles is border security. So producers border security. So producers border security. So producers have difficulty projecting have difficulty projecting have difficulty projecting themselves uh on their plot because themselves uh on their plot because themselves uh on their plot because the owner can from one day to the the owner can from one day to the the owner can from one day to the next recover their site. So next recover their site. So next recover their site. So investing investing investing in practices to increase in practices to increase in practices to increase organic matter in the soil. organic matter in the soil. organic matter in the soil. If the producer has to leave If the producer has to leave If the producer has to leave the following year, it is not the following year, it is not the following year, it is not interesting. It is a loss of interesting. It is a loss of interesting. It is a loss of money and and so it is a loss of money and and so it is a loss of money and and so it is quite complicated. So a real and so it is quite complicated. So a real and so it is quite complicated. So a real advocacy work to be done advocacy work to be done advocacy work to be done at the transition level. at the transition level. at the transition level. We have seen that when the We have seen that when the We have seen that when the innovation is applied alone, the innovation is applied alone, the innovation is applied alone, the effectiveness is limited. the effectiveness is limited. the effectiveness is limited. So substitution is not So substitution is not So substitution is not enough and it is important enough and it is important enough and it is important to take the to take the to take the time step by step and time step by step and time step by step and to combine as many agroecological to combine as many agroecological to combine as many agroecological practices as possible. We saw practices as possible. We saw practices as possible. We saw that the use of organic that the use of organic that the use of organic fertilizer with the use of crotalaria fertilizer with the use of crotalaria fertilizer with the use of crotalaria is what works best. is what works best. is what works best. Uh and one of the obstacles Uh and one of the obstacles Uh and one of the obstacles also is on the supply also is on the supply also is on the supply side. Uh there is a low side. Uh there is a low side. Uh there is a low demand on the local market or demand on the local market or demand on the local market or at least that is what producers at least that is what producers at least that is what producers perceive. Uh so it is necessary perceive. Uh so it is necessary perceive. Uh so it is necessary to raise awareness among to raise awareness among to raise awareness among consumers or to connect consumers or to connect consumers or to connect sensitized consumers to producers sensitized consumers to producers sensitized consumers to producers who have different who have different who have different practices, who offer practices, who offer practices, who offer quality products and uh hence quality products and uh hence quality products and uh the interest of participatory the interest of participatory the interest of participatory guarantee systems, SPG. So I I take guarantee systems, SPG. So I I take guarantee systems, SPG. So I I take the opportunity to make the transition to Edgar who will present a bit this uh this the opportunity to make the transition to Edgar who will present a bit this uh this the opportunity to make the transition to Edgar who will present a bit this uh this type of marketing label which is in favor type of marketing label which is in favor type of marketing label which is in favor of producers in agroecology. of producers in agroecology. of producers in agroecology. Well, I hope I was not too Well, I hope I was not too Well, I hope I was not too long. In any case, many thanks long. In any case, many thanks long. In any case, many thanks first to the Urban project, first to the Urban project, first to the Urban project, to the whole team here present, to the whole team here present, to the whole team here present, to the Savage project and obviously to to the Savage project and obviously to to the Savage project and obviously to the project partners. Thank you, project partners. Thank you, project partners. Thank you, thank you very much. Thank you very much Antoine. thank you very much. Thank you very much Antoine. thank you very much. Thank you very much Antoine. Incredible transition. Incredible transition. Incredible transition. Next, I have lots of Next, I have lots of Next, I have lots of questions, we will not have time questions, we will not have time questions, we will not have time to ask them all. to ask them all. to ask them all. Interesting. There are extremely Interesting. There are extremely Interesting. There are extremely encouraging results. Uh I noted encouraging results. Uh I noted encouraging results. Uh I noted some things. I will leave some things. I will leave some things. I will leave the floor to Edgar right away uh to the floor to Edgar right away uh to the floor to Edgar right away uh to present the SPG and what is being done. But present the SPG and what is being done. But present the SPG and what is being done. But uh but yeah, I have some uh but yeah, I have some uh but yeah, I have some small questions to ask at the end. small questions to ask at the end. small questions to ask at the end. That’s it. Thank you very much Antoine and Edgar. That’s it. Thank you very much Antoine and Edgar. That’s it. Thank you very much Antoine and Edgar. Well then it’s your turn. You Well then it’s your turn. You Well then it’s your turn. You have the floor. have the floor. have the floor. What do you think should What do you think should What do you think should be done to integrate your be done to integrate your be done to integrate your cover crops into your cover crops into your cover crops into your cropping system so that it cropping system so that it cropping system so that it is uh is uh is uh profitable profitable profitable both agronomically and economically both agronomically and economically both agronomically and economically and in terms of labor time? You, and in terms of labor time? You, and in terms of labor time? You, what would you propose as what would you propose as what would you propose as an alternative or mix of methods or an alternative or mix of methods or an alternative or mix of methods or technology to make it more technology to make it more technology to make it more adapted to your way of doing? adapted to your way of doing? adapted to your way of doing? Yeah, I think it is important Yeah, I think it is important Yeah, I think it is important to associate these practices and it is even to associate these practices and it is even to associate these practices and it is even essential. So it is that essential. So it is that essential. So it is that the microorganisms we apply need the microorganisms we apply need the microorganisms we apply need substrate, matter to substrate, matter to substrate, matter to develop, stay present and develop, stay present and develop, stay present and multiply. And uh for us it is multiply. And uh for us it is multiply. And uh for us it is what we did when we what we did when we what we did when we applied the microorganisms. There applied the microorganisms. There applied the microorganisms. There was always an organic was always an organic was always an organic substrate, either substrate, either substrate, either compost or a compost or a compost or an organic substrate present so that an organic substrate present so that an organic substrate present so that these microorganisms can these microorganisms can these microorganisms can be present and last over be present and last over be present and last over time in the soil. Uh in the soil. Uh in the soil. Uh and so as you said also, the and so as you said also, the and so as you said also, the microorganisms also help microorganisms also help microorganisms also help degrade organic matter degrade organic matter degrade organic matter more quickly. It can also more quickly. It can also more quickly. It can also bring bacteria that can bring bacteria that can bring bacteria that can fix nitrogen. So we know fix nitrogen. So we know fix nitrogen. So we know there can be risks of nitrogen there can be risks of nitrogen there can be risks of nitrogen deficiency with a lot of organic deficiency with a lot of organic deficiency with a lot of organic matter inputs. matter inputs. matter inputs. Nitrogen-fixing bacteria Nitrogen-fixing bacteria Nitrogen-fixing bacteria would therefore limit this would therefore limit this would therefore limit this nitrogen deficiency. So for me, it is nitrogen deficiency. So for me, it is nitrogen deficiency. So for me, it is logical that these practices logical that these practices logical that these practices are associated. are associated. are associated. Uh and what we also saw is Uh and what we also saw is Uh and what we also saw is that microorganisms have a quite that microorganisms have a quite that microorganisms have a quite limited lifespan. So it is also limited lifespan. So it is also limited lifespan. So it is also important to apply them important to apply them important to apply them regularly and not just put regularly and not just put regularly and not just put them at the beginning of the them at the beginning of the them at the beginning of the crop and expect them to crop and expect them to crop and expect them to remain continuously. So what remain continuously. So what remain continuously. So what I just wanted to add, I is I just wanted to add, I is I just wanted to add, I mean with regard to organic mean with regard to organic mean with regard to organic matter uh we are in urban matter uh we are in urban matter uh we are in urban peri-urban systems where there is a peri-urban systems where there is a peri-urban systems where there is a very rapid turnover and so it is not very rapid turnover and so it is not very rapid turnover and so it is not cereal systems and so it is not cereal systems and so it is not cereal systems where you can have a cereal systems where you can have a cereal systems where you can have a fairly long fairly long fairly long dry period where you can dry period where you can dry period where you can afford to add organic afford to add organic afford to add organic matter which can degrade. matter which can degrade. matter which can degrade. I think in urban I think in urban I think in urban peri-urban systems, it is peri-urban systems, it is peri-urban systems, it is important to compost important to compost important to compost this organic matter to be able this organic matter to be able this organic matter to be able to apply it continuously to to apply it continuously to to apply it continuously to the crops. the crops. the crops. Uh and I add another layer Uh and I add another layer Uh and I add another layer on this, which is that when on this, which is that when on this, which is that when you add microorganisms, compost you add microorganisms, compost you add microorganisms, compost is much faster to set up is much faster to set up is much faster to set up and be produced. Uh so we and be produced. Uh so we and be produced. Uh so we are at 3 months without are at 3 months without are at 3 months without microorganisms and we are microorganisms and we are microorganisms and we can be at 1 month with can be at 1 month with can be at 1 month with microorganisms. So there is an microorganisms. So there is an microorganisms. So there is an interest uh so that this organic interest uh so that this organic interest uh so that this organic matter uh can be more quickly matter uh can be more quickly matter uh can be more quickly usable. Uh and we talked about usable. Uh and we talked about usable. Uh and we talked about this earlier a bit on this earlier a bit on this earlier a bit on which I wanted to bounce which I wanted to bounce which I wanted to bounce off, it is uh off, it is uh off, it is uh the association of the practices the association of the practices the association of the practices is beneficial. However, what is is beneficial. However, what is is beneficial. However, what is to be said is that the to be said is that the to be said is that the association of conventional association of conventional association of conventional practice with the use of practice with the use of practice with the use of microorganisms is microorganisms is microorganisms is detrimental. Uh we know, if we detrimental. Uh we know, if we detrimental. Uh we know, if we apply a fungicide, an insecticide apply a fungicide, an insecticide apply a fungicide, an insecticide after a treatment of after a treatment of after a treatment of microorganisms, we will lose microorganisms, we will lose microorganisms, we will lose this microbial diversity. Uh so it is this microbial diversity. Uh so it is this microbial diversity. Uh so it is important to this microbial diversity. Uh so it is important to this microbial diversity. Uh so it is important to not just add all not just add all not just add all practices. Sometimes it is practices. Sometimes it is practices. Sometimes it is necessary to reduce other necessary to reduce other necessary to reduce other inputs to avoid inhibitory inputs to avoid inhibitory inputs to avoid inhibitory effects. effects. effects. Just to follow up on Just to follow up on Just to follow up on your intervention Antoine your intervention Antoine your intervention Antoine not to always mix conventional not to always mix conventional not to always mix conventional and agroecological practices. and agroecological practices. and agroecological practices. For example For example For example uh uh microorganisms plus fungicide. uh uh microorganisms plus fungicide. uh uh microorganisms plus fungicide. I had a question. Uh the I had a question. Uh the I had a question. Uh the market gardening producers in market gardening producers in market gardening producers in the Cotonou region uh I have the impression the Cotonou region uh I have the impression the Cotonou region uh I have the impression and correct me if I am wrong and correct me if I am wrong and correct me if I am wrong please, they use uh a lot please, they use uh a lot please, they use uh a lot of poultry manure as fertilization. of poultry manure as fertilization. of poultry manure as fertilization. This poultry manure comes This poultry manure comes This poultry manure comes from conventional livestock I suppose. from conventional livestock I suppose. from conventional livestock I suppose. So I suppose it is loaded and So I suppose it is loaded and So I suppose it is loaded and it is the same, these are it is the same, these are it is the same, these are assumptions and it is a question assumptions and it is a question assumptions and it is a question about antibiotics. about antibiotics. about antibiotics. Is it uh is it in the Is it uh is it in the Is it uh is it in the research uh precisely of the impact research uh precisely of the impact research uh precisely of the impact of these microorganisms, the impact of these microorganisms, the impact of these microorganisms, the symbiotic, the appearance of the symbiotic, the appearance of the symbiotic, the appearance of the nematodes also? because the nematodes also? because the nematodes also? because the expansion also? because the expansion also? because the expansion finally the exponential finally the exponential finally the exponential development of these nematodes development of these nematodes development of these nematodes on galls, we do not observe on galls, we do not observe on galls, we do not observe them in other systems where we have them in other systems where we have them in other systems where we have much higher organic matter much higher organic matter much higher organic matter levels for example or do you levels for example or do you levels for example or do you think it could be partly think it could be partly think it could be partly due to the presence of antibiotics and due to the presence of antibiotics and due to the presence of antibiotics and the fact that every time we fertilize we disinfect every time we fertilize we disinfect every time we fertilize we disinfect to to make I am making shortcuts to make I am making shortcuts to make I am making shortcuts huge maybe but it is a huge maybe but it is a huge maybe but it is a question I have asked question I have asked question I have asked almost since the beginning almost since the beginning almost since the beginning of the Urban project and I have not of the Urban project and I have not of the Urban project and I have not had the opportunity to have analyses had the opportunity to have analyses had the opportunity to have analyses of poultry manure. Uh so here of poultry manure. Uh so here of poultry manure. Uh so here it is, poultry manure. Uh so here it is, poultry manure. Uh so here it is, it is a question I ask you. it is a question I ask you. it is a question I ask you. Hm. Yes. In any case uh all Hm. Yes. In any case uh all Hm. Yes. In any case uh all organic matter uh amendment or organic matter uh amendment or organic matter uh amendment or organic fertilizer is not perfect. It can fertilizer is not perfect. It can fertilizer is not perfect. It can have forms of pollution have forms of pollution have forms of pollution through poultry manure, through poultry manure, through poultry manure, antibiotics, but also pathogens antibiotics, but also pathogens antibiotics, but also pathogens that can be harmful to humans. that can be harmful to humans. that can be harmful to humans. So there are risks of So there are risks of So there are risks of microbial contamination microbial contamination microbial contamination with regard to consumers. with regard to consumers. with regard to consumers. Uh Uh Uh and so uh whether it is poultry and so uh whether it is poultry and so uh whether it is poultry manure, but also the manure, but also the manure, but also the waste uh which can also waste uh which can also waste uh which can also be used and can have a be used and can have a be used and can have a beneficial impact in terms of beneficial impact in terms of beneficial impact in terms of carbon input in the soil. carbon input in the soil. carbon input in the soil. But in any case uh there is But in any case uh there is But in any case uh there is a sanitary aspect a sanitary aspect a sanitary aspect that must be taken into account. So that must be taken into account. So that must be taken into account. So precisely with Sira and a colleague Precisely with Sira and a colleague Precisely with Sira and a colleague Mathieu Bravin from ITÉ recycling and Mathieu Bravin from ITÉ recycling and Mathieu Bravin from ITÉ recycling and risk, we are currently risk, we are currently risk, we are currently collecting various samples collecting various samples collecting various samples of soil and organic matter for of soil and organic matter for of soil and organic matter for analysis and to see what is analysis and to see what is analysis and to see what is really in terms of pollution. Uh so really in terms of pollution. Uh so really in terms of pollution. Uh so metagenomics and uh and metagenomics and uh and metagenomics and uh pathogens. pathogens. pathogens. Uh regarding the question of Uh regarding the question of Uh regarding the question of nematodes, it is possible uh nematodes, it is possible uh nematodes, it is possible uh that organic matter or organic that organic matter or organic that organic matter or organic fertilizers transmit pathogens fertilizers transmit pathogens fertilizers transmit pathogens nematodes or others. Uh it is nematodes or others. Uh it is nematodes or others. Uh it is quite possible. In any case, one it is quite possible. In any case, one it is quite possible. In any case, one thing is certain, it is thing is certain, it is thing is certain, it is that a soil very that a soil very that a soil very poor in organic matter uh poor in organic matter uh poor in organic matter uh is a soil that will be more is a soil that will be more is a soil that will be more easily infested with telluric easily infested with telluric easily infested with telluric diseases, telluric pathogens, diseases, telluric pathogens, diseases, telluric pathogens, nematodes, bacterial wilt. In fact, nematodes, bacterial wilt. In fact, nematodes, bacterial wilt. In fact, there is a biological balance there is a biological balance there is a biological balance that is no longer present, that is no longer present, that is no longer present, the soil is unbalanced the soil is unbalanced the soil is unbalanced and some pathogens will take and some pathogens will take and some pathogens will take over and will take advantage of over and will take advantage of over and will take advantage of this imbalance to multiply and this imbalance to multiply and this imbalance to multiply and infest the crops. So in a healthy infest the crops. So in a healthy infest the crops. So in a healthy soil, we always obviously soil, we always obviously soil, we always obviously have nematodes or bacteria have nematodes or bacteria have nematodes or bacteria and pathogens, but in fact and pathogens, but in fact and pathogens, but in fact they will be they will be they will be so little present and surrounded so little present and surrounded so little present and surrounded by so many other organisms by so many other organisms by so many other organisms that they will not that they will not that they will not cause damage to cause damage to cause damage to market gardening crops. market gardening crops. market gardening crops. Thank you very much to Antoine who Thank you very much to Antoine who Thank you very much to Antoine who made the connection. Thanks to everyone, all made the connection. Thanks to everyone, all made the connection. Thanks to everyone, all the organizers, all those who the organizers, all those who the organizers, all those who mobilized for the design and mobilized for the design and mobilized for the design and implementation of the Urban project and implementation of the Urban project and implementation of the Urban project and thank you for also giving us thank you for also giving us thank you for also giving us the opportunity to share what we the opportunity to share what we the opportunity to share what we are doing on the SPG approach to are doing on the SPG approach to are doing on the SPG approach to promote agricultural products. So I will promote agricultural products. So I will promote agricultural products. So I will make two presentations so I make two presentations so I make two presentations so very quickly and our motto also very quickly and our motto also very quickly and our motto also is to consume organic where we live without is to consume organic where we live without is to consume organic where we live without polluting the environment. SPJ is a polluting the environment. SPJ is a polluting the environment. SPJ is a credible tool for certification credible tool for certification credible tool for certification of organic agricultural products. of organic agricultural products. of organic agricultural products. So it is an alternative So it is an alternative So it is an alternative certification system adapted certification system adapted certification system adapted to local realities of each to local realities of each to local realities of each country or terroir. It is less country or terroir. It is less country or terroir. It is less costly compared to costly compared to costly compared to TI party certifications. Benin was TI party certifications. Benin was TI party certifications. Benin was the very first country to implement the very first country to implement the very first country to implement in West Africa and in Central in West Africa and in Central in West Africa and in Central Africa the biospg label which is Africa the biospg label which is Africa the biospg label which is a participatory certification. a participatory certification. a participatory certification. So as defined by IFOAM, it is a So as defined by IFOAM, it is a So as defined by IFOAM, it is a locally anchored quality assurance locally anchored quality assurance locally anchored quality assurance system that certifies productions system that certifies productions system that certifies productions based on the active participation based on the active participation based on the active participation of consumers and producers of consumers and producers of consumers and producers concerned through trust, concerned through trust, concerned through trust, exchanges and also knowledge and exchanges and also knowledge and exchanges and also knowledge and know-how. know-how. know-how. It is an alternative It is an alternative It is an alternative certification to TI party certification. certification to TI party certification. certification to TI party certification. So there are some slides So there are some slides So there are some slides that I will go through very that I will go through very that I will go through very quickly. Uh that I will go through very quickly. Uh that I will go through very quickly. Uh SPG is developing all SPG is developing all SPG is developing all over the continents and I have over the continents and I have over the continents and I have 2019 statistics, there were 2019 statistics, there were 2019 statistics, there were already more than 250 SPG already more than 250 SPG already more than 250 SPG initiatives in more than initiatives in more than initiatives in more than 110 countries. 110 countries. 110 countries. So you can see on the world So you can see on the world So you can see on the world map here uh the distribution map here uh the distribution map here uh the distribution of SPG initiatives. In Africa, we of SPG initiatives. In Africa, we of SPG initiatives. In Africa, we count about fifty. count about fifty. count about fifty.

You have on the screen the You have on the screen the You have on the screen the certification mark of SPG certification mark of SPG certification mark of SPG Benin. Benin. Benin. So why SPG in Benin So why SPG in Benin So why SPG in Benin ? ? ? There are four reasons. The There are four reasons. The There are four reasons. The first reason is to reduce the first reason is to reduce the first reason is to reduce the costs of organic certification costs of organic certification costs of organic certification of products, to adapt demand of products, to adapt demand of products, to adapt demand to supply of organic to supply of organic to supply of organic products and to develop products and to develop products and to develop local organic markets. local organic markets. local organic markets. To make the mode credible. Yes. To make the mode credible. Yes. To make the mode credible. Yes. Can you hear me Edgar? Yes, sorry. I will Can you hear me Edgar? Yes, sorry.

So to make So to make So to make I mentioned the reasons I mentioned the reasons I mentioned the reasons that brought us here. Uh that brought us here. Uh that brought us here. Uh the first reason is to Uh the first reason is to Uh the first reason is to make the mode of production make the mode of production make the mode of production credible and give guarantee credible and give guarantee credible and give guarantee to local consumers who to local consumers who to local consumers who themselves participate in the themselves participate in the themselves participate in the certification system. certification system. certification system. Finally, it is to meet a Finally, it is to meet a Finally, it is to meet a need for ethics by involving need for ethics by involving need for ethics by involving actors in the organic actors in the organic actors in the organic certification system. certification system. certification system.

{{Résumé long
|Résumé=== Agroecology in Benin - Part 2 ==

As part of the Savage project, funded by the European Union and the Embassy of the Netherlands, work has been carried out to support the agroecological transition in Benin, Burkina Faso, and Mali. Antoine, an agronomist involved in this project, details the challenges and results obtained, particularly regarding the management of pests in vegetable farming.

=== Diagnosis and Challenges of Market Gardening ===

The diagnosis conducted with 1200 producers highlighted major constraints:
* '''Soil fertility:''' a decline in fertility limiting yield potential.
* '''Pest pressure:''' a strong presence of root-knot nematodes, bacterial wilt, leafhoppers, and red mites (spider mites).
* '''Pesticide use:''' often abusive or unregulated use of non-approved products (e.g., highly toxic nematicides).

=== On-farm Experiments ===

The project tested agroecological innovations co-developed with producers, combining endogenous knowledge and research inputs:
# '''Crotalaria (''Crotalaria''):''' Legume with recognized nematicidal activity. Its effectiveness is real but limited in time (about 70 days after incorporation) and it may present integration challenges in short-cycle systems.
# '''African basil (''Ocimum gratissimum''):''' Marketable plant with repellent properties.
# '''Beneficial Indigenous Microorganisms (BIM):''' Derived from forest litter fermentation, they enhance soil health and plant resilience.
# '''Fermented fruit juices:''' Endogenous innovation used as a biostimulant for growth and salinity tolerance.

=== Results and Lessons Learned ===

The effectiveness of agroecological methods depends on a combination of factors. Trials showed that:
* Simple substitution of pesticides with a single practice is insufficient. The approach must be holistic (combining organic fertility and biological management).
* Integration of crotalaria requires careful management of spacing and timing to avoid competition with main crops.
* Producers note an improvement in harvest quality, allowing better selling prices, despite sometimes still variable yields.
* Land tenure security remains a major barrier to long-term investment in soil fertility.

=== Certification and Labeling: The Role of the SPG ===

Edgar, a certification expert, presented the '''Participatory Guarantee System (SPG)''', a locally rooted organic certification tool adapted to the realities of small producers in Benin.
* '''Advantages:''' Less costly than third-party certifications, it strengthens trust between producers and consumers.
* '''Expansion:''' Benin currently has about forty SPG initiatives, including 2300 producers and covering various sectors (market gardening, rice, soy, honey, etc.).
* '''Impact:''' Certification allows producers to obtain significant added value (e.g., +30% on rice price, +50% on organic soy) and better structure local supply chains.

=== Conclusion and Perspectives ===

Agroecological transition does not mean immediate abandonment of all inputs, but a step-by-step progression. Stakeholders emphasize:
* Continuous training in the local language on recognizing crop auxiliaries.
* Pooling the production of bio-inputs to reduce production costs.
* The need for clear technical sheets and profiles of "champion" farms to inspire other farmers and facilitate adoption of these profitable and sustainable practices.

Uh, first a few quick words about the Uh, first a few quick words about the Uh, first a few quick words about the SBGE project. So it's a project SBGE project. So it's a project SBGE project. So it's a project in three countries: Benin, Burkina Faso and in three countries: Benin, Burkina Faso and in three countries: Benin, Burkina Faso and Mali. Mali. Mali. Uh, it's a 5-year project that was Uh, it's a 5-year project that was Uh, it's a 5-year project that was funded by the European Union and funded by the European Union and funded by the European Union and the Dutch embassy. So we have the Dutch embassy. So we have the Dutch embassy. So we have several partners involved several partners involved several partners involved in this project. So the World Vegetable in this project. So the World Vegetable in this project. So the World Vegetable Center is hosting me in Benin. Center is hosting me in Benin. Center is hosting me in Benin. So we are at the So we are at the So we are at the ITA station in Baumcalavi. Uh, there are the ITA station in Baumcalavi. Uh, there are the ITA station in Baumcalavi. Uh, there are the partners from Varaningen, the partners from Varaningen, the partners from Varaningen, the Dutch, Sirad, and then the Dutch, Sirad, and then the Dutch, Sirad, and then the national research partners from the national research partners from the national research partners from the three countries who have contributed three countries who have contributed three countries who have contributed significantly to this project. significantly to this project. significantly to this project. Uh, just to Uh, just to Uh, just to add, so it's a project add, so it's a project add, so it's a project that works on both supply and that works on both supply and that works on both supply and demand. So on the offer we had demand. So on the offer we had demand. So on the offer we had package 3 which the CAD package 3 which the CAD package 3 which the CAD implemented on agricultural practices but implemented on agricultural practices but implemented on agricultural practices but also our colleagues from Worldvige who also our colleagues from Worldvige who also our colleagues from Worldvige who worked on varieties worked on varieties worked on varieties and Varingan who worked on and Varingan who worked on and Varingan who worked on vegetable consumption. vegetable consumption. vegetable consumption. So, uh, it's a project involving different So, uh, it's a project involving different So, uh, it's a project involving different institutions. institutions. institutions. For the For the For the SVET project, we had the work of SVET project, we had the work of SVET project, we had the work of designing designing designing agroecological farming systems in market gardening agroecological farming systems in market gardening agroecological farming systems in market gardening systems. systems. systems. And uh, so at the beginning of the project, we carried And uh, so at the beginning of the project, we carried And uh, so at the beginning of the project, we carried out a major diagnostic study of the out a major diagnostic study of the out a major diagnostic study of the production systems in the three production systems in the three production systems in the three countries. So we were able to reach more than countries. So we were able to reach more than countries. So we were able to reach more than 1200 producers, in Benin, Burkina Faso and 1200 producers, in Benin, Burkina Faso and 1200 producers, in Benin, Burkina Faso and Mali. Mali. Mali. And so we investigated the And so we investigated the And so we investigated the practices of producers, from practices of producers, from practices of producers, from soil preparation to harvest, soil preparation to harvest, soil preparation to harvest, including issues of including issues of including issues of fertilization, fertilization, fertilization, crop protection, sowing, and irrigation. crop protection, sowing, and irrigation. crop protection, sowing, and irrigation. And so we were able to identify the And so we were able to identify the And so we were able to identify the main constraints of main constraints of main constraints of market producers related to market producers related to market producers related to the use of pesticides or the use of pesticides or the use of pesticides or mineral fertilizers. Well, there are difficulties in mineral fertilizers. Well, there are difficulties in mineral fertilizers. Well, there are difficulties in terms of soil fertility and other terms of soil fertility and other terms of soil fertility and other difficulties in terms of managing difficulties in terms of managing difficulties in terms of managing pests, particularly pests, particularly pests, particularly nematodes but also nematodes but also nematodes but also bacterial flexure, the management of jacids which has been bacterial flexure, the management of jacids which has been bacterial flexure, the management of jacids which has been one of the major problems one of the major problems one of the major problems since the invasion of the new pest in since the invasion of the new pest in since the invasion of the new pest in West Africa. We also West Africa. We also West Africa. We also worked on the red worked on the red worked on the red tomato mites, so the pranicus. tomato mites, so the pranicus. tomato mites, so the pranicus. So this diagnosis also made it possible So this diagnosis also made it possible So this diagnosis also made it possible to identify endogenous innovations. to identify endogenous innovations. to identify endogenous innovations. So these are innovations that are So these are innovations that are So these are innovations that are little known in research, which little known in research, which little known in research, which deserve to be explored, deepened, and deserve to be explored, deepened, and deserve to be explored, deepened, and even improved. And so there are a even improved. And so there are a even improved. And so there are a number of number of number of controlled or semi-controlled environment trials that have been set up controlled or semi-controlled environment trials that have been set up controlled or semi-controlled environment trials that have been set up through the project and through the project and through the project and partner projects where we have been able to partner projects where we have been able to partner projects where we have been able to test endogenous innovations but test endogenous innovations but test endogenous innovations but also research innovations. also research innovations. also research innovations. What interests us here are What interests us here are What interests us here are the trials in rural areas. the trials in rural areas. the trials in rural areas. So it was important for us to So it was important for us to So it was important for us to finally find and test innovations finally find and test innovations finally find and test innovations that clearly address a problem faced by that clearly address a problem faced by that clearly address a problem faced by producers. producers. producers. So, we organized So, we organized So, we organized participatory multi-stakeholder workshops with participatory multi-stakeholder workshops with participatory multi-stakeholder workshops with producers, but not only producers, also with other producers, but not only producers, also with other producers, but not only producers, also with other actors in the sector, to discuss actors in the sector, to discuss actors in the sector, to discuss innovations to be tested, taking into account innovations to be tested, taking into account innovations to be tested, taking into account certain certain certain economic and social factors. uh, we can't economic and social factors. uh, we can't economic and social factors. uh, we can't test just anything at the test just anything at the test just anything at the producers' if we know producers' if we know producers' if we know that there is an adoption that is that there is an adoption that is that there is an adoption that is impossible. That is to say, we will impossible. That is to say, we will impossible. That is to say, we will ensure that these innovations are ensure that these innovations are ensure that these innovations are financially accessible financially accessible financially accessible and that the products tested, for example, and that the products tested, for example, and that the products tested, for example, can be found or can be found or can be found or manufactured locally. So it was done manufactured locally. So it was done manufactured locally. So it was done through Focus Group workshops, through Focus Group workshops, through Focus Group workshops, video workshops including video workshops including video workshops including one in which Romueld was able to participate. one in which Romueld was able to participate. one in which Romueld was able to participate. And so these trials in the middle of farmers, uh, And so these trials in the middle of farmers, uh, And so these trials in the middle of farmers, uh, there were several on the management of there were several on the management of there were several on the management of nematodes, on the management of nematodes, on the management of nematodes, on the management of bacterial wilt, uh, and on the bacterial wilt, uh, and on the bacterial wilt, uh, and on the management of jaacids. management of jaacids. management of jaacids. When these innovations are validated When these innovations are validated When these innovations are validated through participatory evaluation through participatory evaluation through participatory evaluation with producers, they are then with producers, they are then with producers, they are then disseminated through a network of disseminated through a network of disseminated through a network of demonstration plots in the farming community demonstration plots in the farming community demonstration plots in the farming community . So in Benin, there have been about . So in Benin, there have been about . So in Benin, there have been about twenty farmer field schools twenty farmer field schools twenty farmer field schools to disseminate these practices. We realized to disseminate these practices. We realized to disseminate these practices. We realized that this was not that this was not that this was not enough and that it was important to enough and that it was important to enough and that it was important to strengthen the capacities of producers strengthen the capacities of producers strengthen the capacities of producers and extension actors on and extension actors on and extension actors on basic basic basic agronomic knowledge, for example, agronomic knowledge, for example, agronomic knowledge, for example, the identification and recognition of the identification and recognition of the identification and recognition of pest insects and their differentiation from predatory insects pest insects and their differentiation from predatory insects to beneficial insects. uh to beneficial insects. uh to beneficial insects. uh also train them on also train them on also train them on basic techniques on the use of basic techniques on the use of basic techniques on the use of synthetic pesticides because in synthetic pesticides because in synthetic pesticides because in fact we realize that everything is fact we realize that everything is fact we realize that everything is used used used not necessarily in the right way and not necessarily in the right way and not necessarily in the right way and also train them on the manufacture and also train them on the manufacture and also train them on the manufacture and use of bio-inputs which can use of bio-inputs which can use of bio-inputs which can be self-produced. So we conducted be self-produced. So we conducted be self-produced. So we conducted training sessions in rural areas for training sessions in rural areas for training sessions in rural areas for technical geeks, and produced video clips in the technical geeks, and produced video clips in the technical geeks, and produced video clips in the local language. local language. local language. So, to return to our So, to return to our So, to return to our presentation now, as you presentation now, as you presentation now, as you know, in Benin and also in know, in Benin and also in know, in Benin and also in sub-Saharan Africa, the yields and sub-Saharan Africa, the yields and sub-Saharan Africa, the yields and quality of vegetable production are quality of vegetable production are quality of vegetable production are far below the far below the far below the production potential. So, production potential. So, production potential. So, this can be explained by this can be explained by this can be explained by various factors, including difficulties in terms of various factors, including difficulties in terms of various factors, including difficulties in terms of soil fertility, weather conditions, soil fertility, weather conditions, agronomic practices, and high pressure from agronomic practices, and high pressure from agronomic practices, and high pressure from pests and diseases, especially in pests and diseases, especially in pests and diseases, especially in this tropical context with high this tropical context with high this tropical context with high heat and high humidity. heat and high humidity. heat and high humidity. Therefore, plant-parasitic nematopes Therefore, plant-parasitic nematopes Therefore, plant-parasitic nematopes are one of the major problems are one of the major problems are one of the major problems faced by vegetable producers. faced by vegetable producers. faced by vegetable producers. So here on the right, we have the So here on the right, we have the So here on the right, we have the famous enema galls that famous enema galls that famous enema galls that Romuald was talking about earlier. So, this Romuald was talking about earlier. So, this Romuald was talking about earlier. So, this impacts the production and, impacts the production and, impacts the production and, obviously, the quality obviously, the quality obviously, the quality of the crops. of the crops. of the crops. So, uh, the inematode affects different So, uh, the inematode affects different So, uh, the inematode affects different families of Marichè culture. So, it's families of Marichè culture. So, it's families of Marichè culture. So, it's a pest that's quite a pest that's quite a pest that's quite versatile. So, it disrupts the versatile. So, it disrupts the versatile. So, it disrupts the root system by penetrating it root system by penetrating it root system by penetrating it because its development cycle because its development cycle because its development cycle requires, uh, requires, uh, requires, uh, certain tall plants, and this will certain tall plants, and this will certain tall plants, and this will decrease the absorption of decrease the absorption of decrease the absorption of nutrients and water, and therefore it nutrients and water, and therefore it nutrients and water, and therefore it causes a delay in growth, causes a delay in growth, causes a delay in growth, wilting, a significant decrease in wilting, a significant decrease in wilting, a significant decrease in yield, and a decrease in yield, and a decrease in yield, and a decrease in crop quality. crop quality. crop quality. that within the framework of the Savage project, we were that within the framework of the Savage project, we were that within the framework of the Savage project, we were also able to carry out a study on also able to carry out a study on also able to carry out a study on these phytoparasitic methods these phytoparasitic methods these phytoparasitic methods in the south, center and in the south, center and in the south, center and north of Benin. And uh, the north of Benin. And uh, the most widespread type of phyoparester nematode is therefore the meloidognes, most widespread type of phyoparester nematode is therefore the meloidognes, most widespread type of phyoparester nematode is therefore the meloidognes, which were represented at 80% of which were represented at 80% of which were represented at 80% of all the samples taken. all the samples taken. all the samples taken. Uh, in terms of tall plants, we Uh, in terms of tall plants, we Uh, in terms of tall plants, we realized that it was realized that it was realized that it was most prevalent on chili peppers. So, most prevalent on chili peppers. So, most prevalent on chili peppers. So, with maximum densities reaching with maximum densities reaching with maximum densities reaching 200-2150 200-2150 200-2150 per gram of root. Uh, so here we see per gram of root. Uh, so here we see per gram of root. Uh, so here we see that it affects both the that it affects both the that it affects both the Sonaceae family, and it can also affect Sonaceae family, and it can also affect Sonaceae family, and it can also affect other crop families. other crop families. other crop families. So it's not specific to just one So it's not specific to just one So it's not specific to just one family. So the matodes look like family. So the matodes look like family. So the matodes look like this. So, a very small step, not perceptible to this. So, a very small step, not perceptible to this. So, a very small step, not perceptible to the naked eye. the naked eye. the naked eye. And so, faced with these problems, And so, faced with these problems, And so, faced with these problems, producers use a producers use a producers use a number of chemical inputs, number of chemical inputs, number of chemical inputs, pesticides, pesticides, pesticides, uh, which are not necessarily suitable. uh, which are not necessarily suitable. uh, which are not necessarily suitable. As we can see here, uh, through As we can see here, uh, through As we can see here, uh, through this graph. Uh, among the 379 this graph. Uh, among the 379 this graph. Uh, among the 379 producers surveyed, only 52% producers surveyed, only 52% producers surveyed, only 52% use nematicides to uh, use nematicides to uh, use nematicides to uh, combat soil nematodes. combat soil nematodes. combat soil nematodes. Others use insecticides, Others use insecticides, Others use insecticides, fungicides and acarxies. So we can fungicides and acarxies. So we can fungicides and acarxies. So we can clearly see a problem in terms of clearly see a problem in terms of clearly see a problem in terms of pesticide use. And pesticide use. And pesticide use. And among these nematicides, among these nematicides, among these nematicides, we find nemacure in the we find nemacure in the we find nemacure in the vast majority but also the use vast majority but also the use vast majority but also the use of carbofurant, so furadent of carbofurant, so furadent of carbofurant, so furadent which is a prohibited product, which is a prohibited product, which is a prohibited product, highly dangerous according to the WHO due to highly dangerous according to the WHO due to highly dangerous according to the WHO due to its toxicity on human health and its toxicity on human health and its toxicity on human health and on the environment. on the environment. on the environment. And And And also add that none of these products are also add that none of these products are also add that none of these products are approved in Benin or approved in Benin or approved in Benin or West Africa. So we can clearly see West Africa. So we can clearly see West Africa. So we can clearly see the abusive or unreasoned use the abusive or unreasoned use the abusive or unreasoned use of these pesticides without any of these pesticides without any of these pesticides without any real effectiveness real effectiveness real effectiveness on the ground because in fact the on the ground because in fact the on the ground because in fact the nematodes develop resistance nematodes develop resistance nematodes develop resistance to these inputs. So to these inputs. So to these inputs. So the idea of this trial in a the idea of this trial in a the idea of this trial in a rural setting was to evaluate rural setting was to evaluate rural setting was to evaluate agroecological alternatives for the agroecological alternatives for the agroecological alternatives for the management of nematodagal on chili management of nematodagal on chili management of nematodagal on chili pepper cultivation. pepper cultivation. pepper cultivation. So these are the innovations that have been tested. So these are the innovations that have been tested. So these are the innovations that have been tested. As I said earlier, it was As I said earlier, it was As I said earlier, it was selected through a selected through a selected through a participatory process where participatory process where participatory process where producers were involved in the discussions. So producers were involved in the discussions. So producers were involved in the discussions. So the idea was to the idea was to the idea was to bring both research innovations bring both research innovations bring both research innovations and endogenous innovations. and endogenous innovations. and endogenous innovations. So, the innovations in research are shown in red So, the innovations in research are shown in red So, the innovations in research are shown in red . So the first is . So the first is . So the first is the use of the use of the use of crotalaria, which is a legume crotalaria, which is a legume crotalaria, which is a legume that is also a recognized sanitizing plant that is also a recognized sanitizing plant that is also a recognized sanitizing plant that produces that produces that produces aopathic compounds and therefore has aopathic compounds and therefore has aopathic compounds and therefore has nematicid activity. nematicid activity. nematicid activity. Uh, ossimum gratissimum, which is Uh, ossimum gratissimum, which is Uh, ossimum gratissimum, which is chayo or African basil, chayo or African basil, chayo or African basil, unlike crotaler, unlike crotaler, unlike crotaler, which is not a which is not a which is not a commercially viable plant, commercially viable plant, commercially viable plant, African basil is consumed in Benin. So it African basil is consumed in Benin. So it African basil is consumed in Benin. So it 's a commercial plant. Uh, it's 's a commercial plant. Uh, it's 's a commercial plant. Uh, it's integrated into crop rotations integrated into crop rotations integrated into crop rotations by producers precisely to reduce by producers precisely to reduce by producers precisely to reduce the pressure from matathodes. the pressure from matathodes. the pressure from matathodes. So these are elements that were So these are elements that were So these are elements that were noted in the diagnosis. noted in the diagnosis. noted in the diagnosis. Uh, Uh, Uh, and uh, it's a plant that is recognized and uh, it's a plant that is recognized and uh, it's a plant that is recognized for its bioactive compounds and which have for its bioactive compounds and which have for its bioactive compounds and which have repellent properties, but we don't really repellent properties, but we don't really repellent properties, but we don't really know if there is an effect know if there is an effect know if there is an effect on methods to calm lesogenes. on methods to calm lesogenes. on methods to calm lesogenes. Uh, the third innovation tested is Uh, the third innovation tested is beneficial indigenous microorganisms. beneficial indigenous microorganisms. beneficial indigenous microorganisms. So these are, uh, so it's a So these are, uh, so it's a So these are, uh, so it's a product made by the fermentation of product made by the fermentation of product made by the fermentation of forest litter, milk, carbon source forest litter, milk, carbon source forest litter, milk, carbon source which can be rice bran or which can be rice bran or which can be rice bran or wood chips, uh, or wood chips. wood chips, uh, or wood chips. wood chips, uh, or wood chips. Water, sugar or molasses are added, Water, sugar or molasses are added, Water, sugar or molasses are added, and therefore there are two and therefore there are two and therefore there are two fermentations, aerobic and anaerobic, fermentations, aerobic and anaerobic, fermentations, aerobic and anaerobic, in order to in order to in order to obtain these famous MABS. So, uh, obtain these famous MABS. So, uh, obtain these famous MABS. So, uh, they allow for the enrichment of they allow for the enrichment of they allow for the enrichment of local microbial communities with local microbial communities with local microbial communities with lactobacilli, acobacteria, and many lactobacilli, acobacteria, and many lactobacilli, acobacteria, and many others. So it's a cocktail of others. So it's a cocktail of others. So it's a cocktail of microorganisms that we apply microorganisms that we apply microorganisms that we apply directly into the soil. So it directly into the soil. So it directly into the soil. So it strengthens soil health, resilience strengthens soil health, resilience strengthens soil health, resilience and can also play a role in the and can also play a role in the and can also play a role in the biological control of certain pests biological control of certain pests biological control of certain pests and pathogens. So there, we saw and pathogens. So there, we saw and pathogens. So there, we saw tests to see if there were any effects on the tests to see if there were any effects on the tests to see if there were any effects on the gal methods. Uh, the 4th innovation gal methods. Uh, the 4th innovation gal methods. Uh, the 4th innovation tested is therefore the tested is therefore the tested is therefore the fermented fruit solution. So this is a fermented fruit solution. So this is a fermented fruit solution. So this is a truly endogenous innovation that is truly endogenous innovation that is truly endogenous innovation that is little known in research. So in little known in research. So in little known in research. So in fact above Benin, we realized fact above Benin, we realized fact above Benin, we realized that there were a number that there were a number that there were a number of producers who were making of producers who were making of producers who were making biostimulants based on orange juice, biostimulants based on orange juice, biostimulants based on orange juice, pineapple juice and coconut water and pineapple juice and coconut water and pineapple juice and coconut water and also sugar which allows fermentation also sugar which allows fermentation also sugar which allows fermentation and they will be applied to stimulate and they will be applied to stimulate and they will be applied to stimulate plant growth, plant growth, plant growth, also mitigate the effects of the disease especially at the also mitigate the effects of the disease especially at the also mitigate the effects of the disease especially at the level of the coastal strip of Benin. level of the coastal strip of Benin. level of the coastal strip of Benin. Therefore, we also believe that these Therefore, we also believe that these Therefore, we also believe that these biostimulants can contribute to and biostimulants can contribute to and biostimulants can contribute to and enrich local microbial communities enrich local microbial communities enrich local microbial communities . . . So, the setup was like this. So, the setup was like this. So, the setup was like this. So there were two cultivation cycles So there were two cultivation cycles So there were two cultivation cycles in place. So on the left, we have in place. So on the left, we have in place. So on the left, we have cycle 1 with the different modalities cycle 1 with the different modalities cycle 1 with the different modalities and the control. So, and the control. So, and the control. So, we had four we had four we had four rehearsals at each site. Uh, and in rehearsals at each site. Uh, and in rehearsals at each site. Uh, and in cycle 2, we introduced chili peppers cycle 2, we introduced chili peppers cycle 2, we introduced chili peppers everywhere. everywhere. everywhere. So, five modalities, and this was So, five modalities, and this was So, five modalities, and this was repeated at five different producers repeated at five different producers repeated at five different producers in three locations in southern Benin in three locations in southern Benin in three locations in southern Benin on the sandy strip at Hida, POJI, and on the sandy strip at Hida, POJI, and on the sandy strip at Hida, POJI, and then Grand Popo. then Grand Popo. then Grand Popo. So in the bottom left corner, we see the So in the bottom left corner, we see the So in the bottom left corner, we see the device with the famous Crotalir device with the famous Crotalir device with the famous Crotalir and the other modalities next to it. So, and the other modalities next to it. So, and the other modalities next to it. So, we carried out we carried out we carried out soil and soil and soil and root sampling to assess the root sampling to assess the root sampling to assess the population density of matthode at population density of matthode at population density of matthode at cycle 1 and cycle 2. So at P0 beginning cycle 1 and cycle 2. So at P0 beginning cycle 1 and cycle 2. So at P0 beginning of cycle 1, P1 at the end of cycle 1, P2 at the of cycle 1, P1 at the end of cycle 1, P2 at the of cycle 1, P1 at the end of cycle 1, P2 at the beginning of cycle 2 and P3 at the end of beginning of cycle 2 and P3 at the end of beginning of cycle 2 and P3 at the end of cycle 2. So the collections, cycle 2. So the collections, cycle 2. So the collections, the counts, the identification, it was the counts, the identification, it was the counts, the identification, it was carried out by our partner at the FSA. carried out by our partner at the FSA. carried out by our partner at the FSA. So from the University of Abomc to life and from the So from the University of Abomc to life and from the So from the University of Abomc to life and from the nematology laboratory of Dr. nematology laboratory of Dr. nematology laboratory of Dr. Faucon, whom I salute here. Faucon, whom I salute here. Faucon, whom I salute here. Uh, and so as a result, I'm Uh, and so as a result, I'm Uh, and so as a result, I'm not going to present everything, but some of it. So not going to present everything, but some of it. So not going to present everything, but some of it. So here we have two graphs that here we have two graphs that here we have two graphs that show the population dynamics of show the population dynamics of show the population dynamics of Agal's nematodes Agal's nematodes Agal's nematodes at the different stages of the different at the different stages of the different at the different stages of the different cycles. At the level of cycle 1, in cycles. At the level of cycle 1, in cycles. At the level of cycle 1, in light color, it is at the beginning of cycle 1 and in light color, it is at the beginning of cycle 1 and in light color, it is at the beginning of cycle 1 and in dark color at the end of cycle 1. Uh dark color at the end of cycle 1. Uh dark color at the end of cycle 1. Uh so, we observe uh a so, we observe uh a so, we observe uh a significant increase for all treatments significant increase for all treatments significant increase for all treatments of the density of nematodaggales in the of the density of nematodaggales in the of the density of nematodaggales in the soil, except for treatment T1 which is soil, except for treatment T1 which is soil, except for treatment T1 which is therefore the treatment uh therefore the treatment uh therefore the treatment uh with grotalaire. with grotalaire. with grotalaire. So we see that there is a So we see that there is a So we see that there is a suppressive effect of the crotalar on suppressive effect of the crotalar on suppressive effect of the crotalar on the density of the the density of the the density of the nematodagales. In cycle 2, however, we observe nematodagales. In cycle 2, however, we observe nematodagales. In cycle 2, however, we observe an increase in an increase in an increase in nematode densities on all nematode densities on all nematode densities on all treatments, even on T1. treatments, even on T1. treatments, even on T1. HH, HH, HH, sorry. sorry. sorry. Here we have another graph that Here we have another graph that Here we have another graph that shows and compares the densities of shows and compares the densities of shows and compares the densities of gal nemathode between the different gal nemathode between the different gal nemathode between the different treatments at different times. So treatments at different times. So treatments at different times. So here on the left, we have the here on the left, we have the here on the left, we have the nematode densities at the beginning of cycle 1. So, nematode densities at the beginning of cycle 1. So, nematode densities at the beginning of cycle 1. So, we observe no we observe no we observe no significant difference in terms of density, which significant difference in terms of density, which significant difference in terms of density, which is quite normal before is quite normal before is quite normal before the application of practices and the application of practices and the application of practices and innovations. innovations. innovations. at T1 pardon at the end of cycle 1, we at T1 pardon at the end of cycle 1, we at T1 pardon at the end of cycle 1, we observe that T1 has the lowest observe that T1 has the lowest observe that T1 has the lowest nematode density followed by T2. So T1 nematode density followed by T2. So T1 nematode density followed by T2. So T1 was the use of the crotalaria, T2 was the use of the crotalaria, T2 was the use of the crotalaria, T2 the use of African basil the use of African basil the use of African basil too, even for a large man. too, even for a large man. too, even for a large man. Then we have the use of Then we have the use of Then we have the use of microorganisms, uh, microorganisms, uh, microorganisms, uh, liquid biostimulants for T3 and T4. And finally, for liquid biostimulants for T3 and T4. And finally, for liquid biostimulants for T3 and T4. And finally, for t0, we have the highest density of methods t0, we have the highest density of methods t0, we have the highest density of methods . . . So the graph on the right is at the So the graph on the right is at the So the graph on the right is at the end of cycle 2. So here end of cycle 2. So here end of cycle 2. So here paradoxically we observe that the paradoxically we observe that the paradoxically we observe that the T-Oble plot has a T-Oble plot has a T-Oble plot has a significantly different nematode density compared significantly different nematode density compared significantly different nematode density compared to the other treatments. to the other treatments. to the other treatments. So, quite surprising. So we can clearly see So, quite surprising. So we can clearly see So, quite surprising. So we can clearly see that the crotalaria, the crotalaria does have that the crotalaria, the crotalaria does have that the crotalaria, the crotalaria does have a suppressive effect on nematotes, a suppressive effect on nematotes, a suppressive effect on nematotes, but this decreases over time. This is what but this decreases over time. This is what but this decreases over time. This is what other researchers have also been able to other researchers have also been able to other researchers have also been able to highlight, which is that approximately 70 highlight, which is that approximately 70 highlight, which is that approximately 70 days after the incorporation of the droppings days after the incorporation of the droppings days after the incorporation of the droppings into the air, uh, into the soil, the into the air, uh, into the soil, the into the air, uh, into the soil, the densities of nematodes return to densities of nematodes return to densities of nematodes return to normal. So. Uh, normal. So. Uh, normal. So. Uh, and also to clarify, uh, so and also to clarify, uh, so and also to clarify, uh, so the life cycle of meloidogine at 30° the life cycle of meloidogine at 30° the life cycle of meloidogine at 30° is between 15 and 20 days to is between 15 and 20 days to is between 15 and 20 days to show you a little the speed of the show you a little the speed of the show you a little the speed of the cycles and that a female can produce cycles and that a female can produce cycles and that a female can produce up to 140 thodes at the up to 140 thodes at the up to 140 thodes at the second juvenile stage in second juvenile stage in second juvenile stage in just one week. So we can see, there it is, just one week. So we can see, there it is, just one week. So we can see, there it is, the explosion the explosion the explosion in terms of the population of the matthodes that can in terms of the population of the matthodes that can in terms of the population of the matthodes that can come in just a few come in just a few come in just a few days. We were also days. We were also days. We were also interested in the level of chili interested in the level of chili interested in the level of chili pepper yields. So here we have the pepper yields. So here we have the pepper yields. So here we have the graph which shows the yields of the chili graph which shows the yields of the chili graph which shows the yields of the chili pepper for grand popoida and semici. pepper for grand popoida and semici. pepper for grand popoida and semici. So it's in grams per meter c. So it's in grams per meter c. So it's in grams per meter c. So we have fairly So we have fairly So we have fairly limited results, a limited improvement in limited results, a limited improvement in limited results, a limited improvement in practices. Uh, no practices. Uh, no practices. Uh, no significant difference for Grand Popo, and we significant difference for Grand Popo, and we significant difference for Grand Popo, and we still observe some still observe some still observe some higher yields compared to the higher yields compared to the higher yields compared to the controls for Grand Popo. For Wida too, controls for Grand Popo. For Wida too, controls for Grand Popo. For Wida too, with Crotaler, we observe one of the with Crotaler, we observe one of the with Crotaler, we observe one of the best yields, but it's not best yields, but it's not best yields, but it's not significantly different, only at these points. significantly different, only at these points. significantly different, only at these points. We therefore observe a We therefore observe a We therefore observe a significant difference in yield. significant difference in yield. significant difference in yield. So we can say that, well, it's a somewhat So we can say that, well, it's a somewhat So we can say that, well, it's a somewhat limited improvement despite limited improvement despite limited improvement despite expectations about the nematicidal and expectations about the nematicidal and expectations about the nematicidal and fertilizing effect of the grotalaria. fertilizing effect of the grotalaria. fertilizing effect of the grotalaria. So there are three factors that could So there are three factors that could So there are three factors that could explain this. Uh, so explain this. Uh, so explain this. Uh, so as I said earlier, as I said earlier, as I said earlier, a very rapid life cycle of a very rapid life cycle of a very rapid life cycle of nematodagales. nematodagales. nematodagales. Uh, it could also have Uh, it could also have Uh, it could also have nutritional asynchrony. So in fact the nutritional asynchrony. So in fact the nutritional asynchrony. So in fact the Crotalir residents will release nitrogen but Crotalir residents will release nitrogen but Crotalir residents will release nitrogen but this release is delayed relative to this release is delayed relative to this release is delayed relative to the peak need of the chili pepper which is the peak need of the chili pepper which is the peak need of the chili pepper which is approximately at the time of flowering, i.e. 9 approximately at the time of flowering, i.e. 9 approximately at the time of flowering, i.e. 9 weeks after incorporation. weeks after incorporation. weeks after incorporation. And there could also potentially be And there could also potentially be And there could also potentially be an ellopathic effect of the an ellopathic effect of the an ellopathic effect of the crotalaria. As I said earlier, crotalaria. As I said earlier, crotalaria. As I said earlier, it produces it produces it produces natural compounds through its roots natural compounds through its roots natural compounds through its roots which can be nematicide but can which can be nematicide but can which can be nematicide but can also limit the growth of peppers also limit the growth of peppers also limit the growth of peppers and thus cancel out the benefits of and thus cancel out the benefits of and thus cancel out the benefits of suppressing nematodes suppressing nematodes suppressing nematodes and enriching the soil. Nevertheless, the peasant-led approach to the social and solidarity economy Nevertheless, the peasant-led approach to the social and solidarity economy Nevertheless, the peasant-led approach to the social and solidarity economy has shown several things. So this has shown several things. So this has shown several things. So this allowed the producer to, well, be allowed the producer to, well, be allowed the producer to, well, be able to make a visual comparison able to make a visual comparison able to make a visual comparison of these practices. So we were able to of these practices. So we were able to of these practices. So we were able to observe a decrease in galenatodes observe a decrease in galenatodes observe a decrease in galenatodes in the soils, a decrease in the in the soils, a decrease in the in the soils, a decrease in the symptoms of ralstonia, therefore symptoms of ralstonia, therefore symptoms of ralstonia, therefore bacterial wilt, which is bacterial wilt, which is bacterial wilt, which is represented here at the top right in represented here at the top right in represented here at the top right in Conce. We tried to understand if Conce. We tried to understand if Conce. We tried to understand if it was really Leia or if it was it was really Leia or if it was it was really Leia or if it was the Enemado that was doing that. So it was indeed the the Enemado that was doing that. So it was indeed the the Enemado that was doing that. So it was indeed the rastonia that was rastonia that was rastonia that was present in the plant. Our hypothesis is present in the plant. Our hypothesis is present in the plant. Our hypothesis is also that the nematodes also that the nematodes also that the nematodes open the roots, therefore penetrate the open the roots, therefore penetrate the open the roots, therefore penetrate the roots and create an opening roots and create an opening roots and create an opening which then facilitates the Rastonia bacteria, allowing it to which then facilitates the Rastonia bacteria, allowing it to which then facilitates the Rastonia bacteria, allowing it to enter enter enter the roots more easily and thus the roots more easily and thus the roots more easily and thus reach the plant. reach the plant. reach the plant. We were able to observe improved We were able to observe improved We were able to observe improved vigor in the chili peppers. It was a vigor in the chili peppers. It was a vigor in the chili peppers. It was a trend, it wasn't necessarily the case trend, it wasn't necessarily the case trend, it wasn't necessarily the case everywhere. So here we see at the bottom everywhere. So here we see at the bottom everywhere. So here we see at the bottom left the peppers that left the peppers that left the peppers that benefited from the previous crotalaire and on the benefited from the previous crotalaire and on the benefited from the previous crotalaire and on the right the previous control with the right the previous control with the right the previous control with the previous. previous. previous. So, leaving it to the producer allowed them to learn by So, leaving it to the producer allowed them to learn by So, leaving it to the producer allowed them to learn by doing, so it's doing, so it's doing, so it's learning by doing, testing new learning by doing, testing new learning by doing, testing new practices, practices, practices, but were your practices but were your practices but were your practices actually adopted by actually adopted by actually adopted by the producers afterward, as explained, well, first the producers afterward, as explained, well, first the producers afterward, as explained, well, first I'm going to present the first I'm going to present the first part. So as we have seen, part. So as we have seen, part. So as we have seen, the use of Crotaler is the use of Crotaler is the use of Crotaler is effective but only a few effective but only a few effective but only a few weeks after the incorporation weeks after the incorporation weeks after the incorporation of the frontal. So, its effectiveness is limited of the frontal. So, its effectiveness is limited of the frontal. So, its effectiveness is limited over time, even if it is good, well over time, even if it is good, well over time, even if it is good, well , we have been able to scientifically prove , we have been able to scientifically prove , we have been able to scientifically prove that it is effective. Uh, as that it is effective. Uh, as that it is effective. Uh, as Romuald said, non-market crops Romuald said, non-market crops Romuald said, non-market crops are difficult to implement are difficult to implement are difficult to implement in a market system in urban in a market system in urban in a market system in urban or peri-urban areas because in fact we are dealing with or peri-urban areas because in fact we are dealing with or peri-urban areas because in fact we are dealing with very limited spaces where very limited spaces where very limited spaces where producers usually produce producers usually produce producers usually produce high value added crops, so high value added crops, so high value added crops, so economically you have to make ends meet economically you have to make ends meet economically you have to make ends meet , there is the cost of renting the , there is the cost of renting the , there is the cost of renting the land or the plot. So there you have it, it's land or the plot. So there you have it, it's land or the plot. So there you have it, it's difficult to do a GHR (Global Human Resources) project lasting several difficult to do a GHR (Global Human Resources) project lasting several difficult to do a GHR (Global Human Resources) project lasting several months without having a direct source of income months without having a direct source of income months without having a direct source of income . And in terms of limits, we . And in terms of limits, we . And in terms of limits, we saw that there was a low saw that there was a low saw that there was a low perception of the fertilizing effect of perception of the fertilizing effect of perception of the fertilizing effect of acroalaria. acroalaria. acroalaria. So the adoption was So the adoption was So the adoption was obviously difficult. Uh, and so following that, we obviously difficult. Uh, and so following that, we obviously difficult. Uh, and so following that, we held a small workshop between the held a small workshop between the held a small workshop between the pilot producers who set up pilot producers who set up pilot producers who set up these trials to understand the these trials to understand the these trials to understand the limitations and perhaps find limitations and perhaps find limitations and perhaps find alternatives and how to adapt this alternatives and how to adapt this alternatives and how to adapt this plant into their cultivation system that plant into their cultivation system that plant into their cultivation system that can meet their problems, can meet their problems, can meet their problems, their constraints and that, uh, can their constraints and that, uh, can their constraints and that, uh, can directly benefit the producer. directly benefit the producer. directly benefit the producer. So the idea was to So the idea was to So the idea was to directly associate crotalaria with directly associate crotalaria with directly associate crotalaria with market garden crops, which are often the most market garden crops, which are often the most market garden crops, which are often the most infested with nematodagal. infested with nematodagal. infested with nematodagal. So here we have some images on different sites So here we have some images on different sites So here we have some images on different sites . So here we have the . So here we have the . So here we have the groter associated with the boma. Oboma filming groter associated with the boma. Oboma filming groter associated with the boma. Oboma filming an African eggplant, we consume the parts an African eggplant, we consume the parts an African eggplant, we consume the parts of which we consume the leaves. of which we consume the leaves. of which we consume the leaves. [grunt] Uh, here we have the [grunt] Uh, here we have the [grunt] Uh, here we have the Crotaler Piment association. Crotaler Piment association. Crotaler Piment association. So here we are in Wikodi in Hida. So the So here we are in Wikodi in Hida. So the So here we are in Wikodi in Hida. So the producer producer producer was initially afraid of competition was initially afraid of competition was initially afraid of competition between the different crops and between the different crops and between the different crops and finally he realized that the finally he realized that the finally he realized that the biomass of the peppers was much more biomass of the peppers was much more biomass of the peppers was much more developed when he associated with developed when he associated with developed when he associated with crotaler compared to the plots where crotaler compared to the plots where crotaler compared to the plots where he had pure pepper crops. Uh, he had pure pepper crops. Uh, he had pure pepper crops. Uh, he was also able to reduce his watering, uh, he was also able to reduce his watering, uh, he was also able to reduce his watering, uh, because, well, we can see it a because, well, we can see it a because, well, we can see it a little bit down there, there is a crotaler mulch that little bit down there, there is a crotaler mulch that little bit down there, there is a crotaler mulch that is regularly applied. So when the is regularly applied. So when the is regularly applied. So when the crotalar takes up too much space, presto, we crotalar takes up too much space, presto, we crotalar takes up too much space, presto, we remove it. and we introduce it at the foot of the remove it. and we introduce it at the foot of the remove it. and we introduce it at the foot of the plans. plans. plans. So less watering, uh less So less watering, uh less So less watering, uh less mineral fertilizer input, uh mineral fertilizer input, uh mineral fertilizer input, uh and uh so there is less and uh so there is less and uh so there is less leaching as well leaching as well leaching as well and I think that the crotalaria and I think that the crotalaria and I think that the crotalaria also provides a little shade for some also provides a little shade for some also provides a little shade for some crops and that's not necessarily a crops and that's not necessarily a crops and that's not necessarily a bad thing in a climatic. bad thing in a climatic. bad thing in a climatic. So on the right, we have the association with So on the right, we have the association with So on the right, we have the association with the marante and the droppings in the air. Even the marante and the droppings in the air. Even the marante and the droppings in the air. Even more surprising is the association of peanut and more surprising is the association of peanut and more surprising is the association of peanut and crotalaria by a producer, which crotalaria by a producer, which crotalaria by a producer, which is quite atypical because we are dealing with is quite atypical because we are dealing with is quite atypical because we are dealing with two legumes. two legumes. two legumes. Uh, the onion that is associated with the Uh, the onion that is associated with the Uh, the onion that is associated with the crotalaria, so here we have Simicoji. crotalaria, so here we have Simicoji. crotalaria, so here we have Simicoji. Other producers tend to leave Other producers tend to leave Other producers tend to leave the droppings exposed at the edge of the the droppings exposed at the edge of the the droppings exposed at the edge of the plots and bring the residues, the plots and bring the residues, the plots and bring the residues, the mulch of these crotalarias, directly mulch of these crotalarias, directly mulch of these crotalarias, directly into the crops, so as mulch to into the crops, so as mulch to into the crops, so as mulch to both limit both limit both limit weeds, limit watering weeds, limit watering weeds, limit watering and to multiply seeds more easily and to multiply seeds more easily because in fact when it is introduced because in fact when it is introduced because in fact when it is introduced directly into the crops, the directly into the crops, the directly into the crops, the crotalaria has to complete its crotalaria has to complete its crotalaria has to complete its full cycle, so more than 3 months, and full cycle, so more than 3 months, and full cycle, so more than 3 months, and so when it is associated with so when it is associated with so when it is associated with short cycle crops, it can be a little more short cycle crops, it can be a little more short cycle crops, it can be a little more complicated but it is not impossible. So here they are complicated but it is not impossible. So here they are complicated but it is not impossible. So here they are , we were able to observe where , we were able to observe where , we were able to observe where the producers, we can observe a the producers, we can observe a the producers, we can observe a greater biodiversity when the greater biodiversity when the greater biodiversity when the crops were associated crops were associated crops were associated with predatory insects, such as the with predatory insects, such as the with predatory insects, such as the lady beetle. We were also able to see macrolus lady beetle. We were also able to see macrolus lady beetle. We were also able to see macrolus uh on several protale planes. So these are uh on several protale planes. So these are uh on several protale planes. So these are insects, small insects, small insects, small bugs that consume both bugs that consume both bugs that consume both whiteflies, I think it was whiteflies, I think it was whiteflies, I think it was the eggs of Toutar uh the eggs of Toutar uh the eggs of Toutar uh and uh the red and uh the red and uh the red tomato mites, the tetramitus. also tomato mites, the tetramitus. also tomato mites, the tetramitus. also many more pollinating insects many more pollinating insects many more pollinating insects as it is a melliferous plant, there are a as it is a melliferous plant, there are a as it is a melliferous plant, there are a lot of bees and bumblebees that lot of bees and bumblebees that lot of bees and bumblebees that come to collect and at the same time come to collect and at the same time come to collect and at the same time pollinate the surrounding crops. pollinate the surrounding crops. pollinate the surrounding crops. So, here we can clearly see a So, here we can clearly see a So, here we can clearly see a plant cover due to the plant cover due to the plant cover due to the leaves falling on the ground. We have leaves falling on the ground. We have leaves falling on the ground. We have insects that will break down this insects that will break down this insects that will break down this organic matter. So here organic matter. So here organic matter. So here we have an association between we have an association between we have an association between the chili pepper and the cave. the chili pepper and the cave. the chili pepper and the cave. Uh, we can also clearly see the famous Uh, we can also clearly see the famous Uh, we can also clearly see the famous nodules of the crotalair. So nodules of the crotalair. So nodules of the crotalair. So obviously some producers got obviously some producers got obviously some producers got scared. At first, they thought it scared. At first, they thought it scared. At first, they thought it was nematode galls and so they said to themselves, was nematode galls and so they said to themselves, was nematode galls and so they said to themselves, "Oh, but believing that is "Oh, but believing that is "Oh, but believing that is nonsense." So we need to explain clearly what nonsense." So we need to explain clearly what nonsense." So we need to explain clearly what these nodules really are. these nodules really are. these nodules really are. So these are bacteria that attach to So these are bacteria that attach to So these are bacteria that attach to the roots of legumes and that will the roots of legumes and that will the roots of legumes and that will fix nitrogen from the air into fix nitrogen from the air into fix nitrogen from the air into the soil, thus making it available to the soil, thus making it available to the soil, thus making it available to crops. When they are associated with crops. When they are associated with crops. When they are associated with market gardening, it's directly, market gardening, it's directly, market gardening, it's directly, uh, uh, there you go, uh, sent. Well, there are still uh, uh, there you go, uh, sent. Well, there are still uh, uh, there you go, uh, sent. Well, there are still some difficulties and some difficulties and some difficulties and key points to consider in terms of key points to consider in terms of key points to consider in terms of density. So here we are, still at SPJ. density. So here we are, still at SPJ. density. So here we are, still at SPJ. We have a producer who associates the We have a producer who associates the We have a producer who associates the Crotaler with his chili pepper. So actually, Crotaler with his chili pepper. So actually, Crotaler with his chili pepper. So actually, we can't see the chili pepper here because the we can't see the chili pepper here because the we can't see the chili pepper here because the Crotaler has taken over. So, Crotaler has taken over. So, Crotaler has taken over. So, obviously, the yields were very obviously, the yields were very obviously, the yields were very poor. So there are gaps to be poor. So there are gaps to be poor. So there are gaps to be respected. respected. respected. Uh, there's also the Uh, there's also the Uh, there's also the crotalar implantation to respect. On the right, we crotalar implantation to respect. On the right, we crotalar implantation to respect. On the right, we therefore have the carrot associated with the crotalaria, therefore have the carrot associated with the crotalaria, therefore have the carrot associated with the crotalaria, where in fact the crotalaria was sown at the where in fact the crotalaria was sown at the where in fact the crotalaria was sown at the same time as the carrot. Whereas you should same time as the carrot. Whereas you should same time as the carrot. Whereas you should wait 3-4 weeks for wait 3-4 weeks for wait 3-4 weeks for the carrot to germinate, grow, and the carrot to germinate, grow, and the carrot to germinate, grow, and then you associate the droppings with air. then you associate the droppings with air. then you associate the droppings with air. So there you have it, it doesn't necessarily So there you have it, it doesn't necessarily So there you have it, it doesn't necessarily work on the first try, but uh work on the first try, but uh work on the first try, but uh when it works uh the results when it works uh the results when it works uh the results are quite noticeable. are quite noticeable. are quite noticeable. Uh, and there's also a difficulty in Uh, and there's also a difficulty in Uh, and there's also a difficulty in terms of seed stock management. terms of seed stock management. terms of seed stock management. As I said earlier, it can be As I said earlier, it can be As I said earlier, it can be associated with crops, but if it is associated with crops, but if it is associated with crops, but if it is pulled up before it reaches its pulled up before it reaches its pulled up before it reaches its seed multiplication cycle, we seed multiplication cycle, we seed multiplication cycle, we can very quickly run out of can very quickly run out of can very quickly run out of seed. So, it's important to seed. So, it's important to seed. So, it's important to associate it with long-cycle crops in associate it with long-cycle crops in associate it with long-cycle crops in certain places or to put it at the certain places or to put it at the certain places or to put it at the edges in order to maintain its edges in order to maintain its sound. sound. sound. Uh, so here we have some Uh, so here we have some Uh, so here we have some visual results from a producer who has visual results from a producer who has visual results from a producer who has therefore combined his carrot in therefore combined his carrot in therefore combined his carrot in pure cultivation, adding his fertilization pure cultivation, adding his fertilization pure cultivation, adding his fertilization as it is iron, therefore mineralized as it is iron, therefore mineralized as it is iron, therefore mineralized and poultry manure. So we can and poultry manure. So we can and poultry manure. So we can clearly see the famous desmatode galls clearly see the famous desmatode galls clearly see the famous desmatode galls and on the right we have the carrot which has been and on the right we have the carrot which has been and on the right we have the carrot which has been associated with the crotalaria and also a associated with the crotalaria and also a associated with the crotalaria and also a fertilization based on bokaashi. fertilization based on bokaashi. fertilization based on bokaashi. So boka is a balanced organic fertilizer So boka is a balanced organic fertilizer So boka is a balanced organic fertilizer , quite rich and also , quite rich and also , quite rich and also enriched with microorganisms. So, in its enriched with microorganisms. So, in its enriched with microorganisms. So, in its production, yeast is added production, yeast is added production, yeast is added . . . Unfortunately, we were not able to, finally the Unfortunately, we were not able to, finally the Unfortunately, we were not able to, finally the producer did not weigh to compare producer did not weigh to compare producer did not weigh to compare the yields, but in any case in the yields, but in any case in the yields, but in any case in terms of sales quality, he was able to terms of sales quality, he was able to terms of sales quality, he was able to sell his beautiful carrot at a better price sell his beautiful carrot at a better price sell his beautiful carrot at a better price , even if we , even if we , even if we still want some Nematod galls but still want some Nematod galls but still want some Nematod galls but much less than on the much less than on the much less than on the control plot. control plot. control plot. Uh, Uh, Uh, and uh, here we are in Sempoji. So it and uh, here we are in Sempoji. So it and uh, here we are in Sempoji. So it was last week, uh, a was last week, uh, a was last week, uh, a producer sent me these images. producer sent me these images. producer sent me these images. She was finally able to weigh her She was finally able to weigh her She was finally able to weigh her carrots. So here we are, ready for carrots. So here we are, ready for carrots. So here we are, ready for pure fertilization, fertilization, pure fertilization, fertilization, pure fertilization, fertilization, sorry, carrot in pure culture, sorry, carrot in pure culture, sorry, carrot in pure culture, mineral fertilization and mineral fertilization and mineral fertilization and poultry manure. And she was able to harvest poultry manure. And she was able to harvest poultry manure. And she was able to harvest approximately 2 kg per bed on these approximately 2 kg per bed on these approximately 2 kg per bed on these plots with the plots with the plots with the associated agroecological practices, therefore crotal associated agroecological practices, therefore crotal associated agroecological practices, therefore crotal and use of organic fertilization. and use of organic fertilization. and use of organic fertilization. So, this was vermicelli compost. We So, this was vermicelli compost. We So, this was vermicelli compost. We were at yields four times higher, were at yields four times higher, were at yields four times higher, uh, uh, uh, and uh, and uh, and uh, well, I had something else to say well, I had something else to say well, I had something else to say but I forgot. but I forgot. but I forgot. Uh yes, so what I also wanted to say is that it's Uh yes, so what I also wanted to say is that it's Uh yes, so what I also wanted to say is that it's good to see the good to see the good to see the yields, to see the quality of the yields, to see the quality of the yields, to see the quality of the production, but also now there is production, but also now there is production, but also now there is the work that remains to be done, it is to the work that remains to be done, it is to the work that remains to be done, it is to see economically, by bringing in the see economically, by bringing in the see economically, by bringing in the inputs, what the producer inputs, what the producer inputs, what the producer gains gains gains because there is also a cost behind because there is also a cost behind because there is also a cost behind the purchase of these vermicomposts. Well, the purchase of these vermicomposts. Well, the purchase of these vermicomposts. Well, the advantage of the Crotaler is that when the advantage of the Crotaler is that when the advantage of the Crotaler is that when you have the seed, you can multiply it. you have the seed, you can multiply it. you have the seed, you can multiply it. So it's a crop that doesn't require So it's a crop that doesn't require So it's a crop that doesn't require financial investment. financial investment. financial investment. Well, there you have it, in any case, these are Well, there you have it, in any case, these are Well, there you have it, in any case, these are studies that need to be continued. studies that need to be continued. studies that need to be continued. But we have a real adoption But we have a real adoption But we have a real adoption by producers who see the benefit of by producers who see the benefit of by producers who see the benefit of these agroecological practices. these agroecological practices. these agroecological practices. Just to conclude, uh, Just to conclude, uh, Just to conclude, uh, I'm going to present some of the I'm going to present some of the I'm going to present some of the obstacles to the agroecological transition obstacles to the agroecological transition obstacles to the agroecological transition in Benin. So the first obstacle in Benin. So the first obstacle in Benin. So the first obstacle is the lack of is the lack of is the lack of agronomic knowledge. So, we have agronomic knowledge. So, we have agronomic knowledge. So, we have producers who are not producers who are not producers who are not necessarily trained, who learn on the necessarily trained, who learn on the necessarily trained, who learn on the job, who think that insects are job, who think that insects are job, who think that insects are bad. So we must bad. So we must bad. So we must destroy absolutely everything. We have a destroy absolutely everything. We have a destroy absolutely everything. We have a producer who removed all her droppings from the producer who removed all her droppings from the producer who removed all her droppings from the air because she observed air because she observed air because she observed insects on them. So there you have it, we have to insects on them. So there you have it, we have to insects on them. So there you have it, we have to start from the beginning. So, it's start from the beginning. So, it's start from the beginning. So, it's important to conduct training in important to conduct training in important to conduct training in rural areas, obviously in the rural areas, obviously in the rural areas, obviously in the local language. uh, local language. uh, local language. uh, first explain how to first explain how to first explain how to do these chemical treatments do these chemical treatments do these chemical treatments correctly before moving on correctly before moving on correctly before moving on to things that are too complicated, and to things that are too complicated, and to things that are too complicated, and obviously then train them on obviously then train them on obviously then train them on alternatives using alternatives using alternatives using agroecological practices. agroecological practices. agroecological practices. Well, working time and Well, working time and Well, working time and production costs can in some cases production costs can in some cases production costs can in some cases increase increase increase in the agroecological transition. in the agroecological transition. in the agroecological transition. Working time, I think for example for Working time, I think for example for Working time, I think for example for those who want to manufacture their own those who want to manufacture their own those who want to manufacture their own bio-inputs, bio-inputs, bio-inputs, uh, in terms of treatments, we are talking about uh, in terms of treatments, we are talking about uh, in terms of treatments, we are talking about much lower residual effects much lower residual effects much lower residual effects compared to compared to compared to chemical pesticides. So when you chemical pesticides. So when you chemical pesticides. So when you make these old things yourself, you also have to go and make these old things yourself, you also have to go and make these old things yourself, you also have to go and collect the raw materials. So it's been collect the raw materials. So it's been collect the raw materials. So it's been a while. So, a while. So, a while. So, as a lever, there is the famous as a lever, there is the famous as a lever, there is the famous small-scale mechanization for small-scale mechanization for small-scale mechanization for soil work, but not only that, also soil work, but not only that, also soil work, but not only that, also for the production of bio-intensities, for the production of bio-intensities, for the production of bio-intensities, uh, with uh, crushers and other things. uh, uh, with uh, crushers and other things. uh, uh, with uh, crushers and other things. uh, which can be found in which can be found in which can be found in biofabrication units. biofabrication units. biofabrication units. Uh, in terms of Uh, in terms of Uh, in terms of production costs, there is a real production costs, there is a real production costs, there is a real need for producers to need for producers to need for producers to join forces for the join forces for the join forces for the shared manufacturing of incr shared manufacturing of incr shared manufacturing of incr and also for interactions with and also for interactions with and also for interactions with actors, entrepreneurs who actors, entrepreneurs who actors, entrepreneurs who offer solutions but whose offer solutions but whose presence and effectiveness producers do not necessarily know. One of the presence and effectiveness producers do not necessarily know. One of the presence and effectiveness producers do not necessarily know. One of the most significant obstacles is most significant obstacles is most significant obstacles is border security. So border security. So border security. So producers have difficulty planning producers have difficulty planning producers have difficulty planning for their plot because the for their plot because the for their plot because the owner can reclaim their site from one day to the next owner can reclaim their site from one day to the next owner can reclaim their site from one day to the next . Therefore, investing . Therefore, investing . Therefore, investing in practices to increase, in practices to increase, in practices to increase, say, the organic matter in the soil. say, the organic matter in the soil. say, the organic matter in the soil. If the producer has to leave the If the producer has to leave the If the producer has to leave the following year, it's not worthwhile. It's following year, it's not worthwhile. It's following year, it's not worthwhile. It's a waste of money and therefore it's a waste of money and therefore it's a waste of money and therefore it's quite complicated. So there is a real need for quite complicated. So there is a real need for quite complicated. So there is a real need for advocacy work to be done regarding the advocacy work to be done regarding the advocacy work to be done regarding the transition. transition. transition. As we have seen, when innovation As we have seen, when innovation As we have seen, when innovation is applied alone, its effectiveness is is applied alone, its effectiveness is is applied alone, its effectiveness is limited. So substitution is not enough limited. So substitution is not enough limited. So substitution is not enough and it is important to take the and it is important to take the and it is important to take the time step by step and to combine time step by step and to combine time step by step and to combine agroecological practices as much as possible agroecological practices as much as possible agroecological practices as much as possible . As we have seen, the use of . As we have seen, the use of . As we have seen, the use of organic fertilizers with the use organic fertilizers with the use organic fertilizers with the use of crotalaria is what works of crotalaria is what works of crotalaria is what works best. best. best. Uh, and one of the obstacles is also at the Uh, and one of the obstacles is also at the Uh, and one of the obstacles is also at the supply level. Well, there is low supply level. Well, there is low supply level. Well, there is low demand on the local market, or at demand on the local market, or at demand on the local market, or at least that's what the producers least that's what the producers least that's what the producers perceive. So, we need to be able to raise perceive. So, we need to be able to raise perceive. So, we need to be able to raise awareness among consumers or to awareness among consumers or to awareness among consumers or to connect connect connect aware consumers with producers who have aware consumers with producers who have aware consumers with producers who have different practices, who offer different practices, who offer different practices, who offer quality products, and hence quality products, and hence quality products, and hence the interest in participatory the interest in participatory the interest in participatory guarantee systems, PGS. So I'll take this opportunity guarantee systems, PGS. So I'll take this opportunity guarantee systems, PGS. So I'll take this opportunity to transition to to transition to to transition to Edgar who will present a bit about this uh this Edgar who will present a bit about this uh this Edgar who will present a bit about this uh this type of type of type of label marketing which is in favor of producers label marketing which is in favor of producers label marketing which is in favor of producers in agroecology. There you go in agroecology. There you go in agroecology. There you go , I hope I haven't been too , I hope I haven't been too , I hope I haven't been too long-winded. In any case, a big thank you again long-winded. In any case, a big thank you again long-winded. In any case, a big thank you again first of all to the Urban project, first of all to the Urban project, first of all to the Urban project, to the whole team present here, to the to the whole team present here, to the to the whole team present here, to the Savage project and of course to the Savage project and of course to the Savage project and of course to the project partners. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, thank you very much. Thank you very much, Antoine. thank you very much. Thank you very much, Antoine. thank you very much. Thank you very much, Antoine. Incredible transition. Incredible transition. Incredible transition. Afterwards, I have lots of questions, Afterwards, I have lots of questions, Afterwards, I have lots of questions, we won't have time to we won't have time to we won't have time to ask them all. ask them all. ask them all. Interesting. There are extreme cases, but there are also Interesting. There are extreme cases, but there are also Interesting. There are extreme cases, but there are also results that are very, very results that are very, very results that are very, very encouraging. Uh, I took notes, I wrote encouraging. Uh, I took notes, I wrote encouraging. Uh, I took notes, I wrote things down. I'm going to hand it over things down. I'm going to hand it over things down. I'm going to hand it over to Edgar right away to to Edgar right away to to Edgar right away to present the SPG and what's being done. But present the SPG and what's being done. But present the SPG and what's being done. But uh, but yeah, I have a few uh, but yeah, I have a few uh, but yeah, I have a few small questions to ask at the end. So. small questions to ask at the end. So. small questions to ask at the end. So. Thank you very much Antoine and Edgar. Thank you very much Antoine and Edgar. Thank you very much Antoine and Edgar. Well, so it's up to you then. You Well, so it's up to you then. You Well, so it's up to you then. You have free rein. have free rein. have free rein. What do you think we should do What do you think we should do What do you think we should do to ensure that integrating your to ensure that integrating your to ensure that integrating your cover crops into your cover crops into your cover crops into your cropping system is cropping system is cropping system is beneficial to you beneficial to you beneficial to you both agronomically and economically, as both agronomically and economically, as both agronomically and economically, as well as in terms of working time? well as in terms of working time? well as in terms of working time? What What What alternative or mix of methods or alternative or mix of methods or alternative or mix of methods or technologies would you suggest to make it more suited technologies would you suggest to make it more suited technologies would you suggest to make it more suited to your way of doing things? to your way of doing things? to your way of doing things? Yeah, I think it's important Yeah, I think it's important Yeah, I think it's important to combine these practices, and it's even to combine these practices, and it's even to combine these practices, and it's even essential. So the essential. So the essential. So the microorganisms that we are going to apply microorganisms that we are going to apply microorganisms that we are going to apply need a substrate of matter in order to need a substrate of matter in order to need a substrate of matter in order to develop, remain present and develop, remain present and develop, remain present and multiply. And uh, this is what we got, this is what we did multiply. And uh, this is what we got, this is what we did multiply. And uh, this is what we got, this is what we did when we when we when we applied the microorganisms. There applied the microorganisms. There applied the microorganisms. There was always an organic substrate, or rather was always an organic substrate, or rather was always an organic substrate, or rather microorganisms, there was microorganisms, there was microorganisms, there was always some compost or always some compost or always some compost or organic substrate present so that organic substrate present so that organic substrate present so that these microorganisms could these microorganisms could these microorganisms could be present and last over time be present and last over time be present and last over time in the soil. Uh, in the soil. Uh, in the soil. Uh, and so, as you also said, and so, as you also said, and so, as you also said, microorganisms also allow for the microorganisms also allow for the microorganisms also allow for the faster degradation of faster degradation of faster degradation of organic matter. It can also introduce organic matter. It can also introduce organic matter. It can also introduce bacteria that can be bacteria that can be bacteria that can be nitrogen-fixing. So we know that we nitrogen-fixing. So we know that we nitrogen-fixing. So we know that we can have risks of can have risks of can have risks of nitrogen depletion with a lot of nitrogen depletion with a lot of nitrogen depletion with a lot of organic matter inputs. organic matter inputs. organic matter inputs. Nitrogen-fixing bacteria Nitrogen-fixing bacteria Nitrogen-fixing bacteria would therefore help to limit this would therefore help to limit this would therefore help to limit this nitrogen depletion. So for me, it makes sense nitrogen depletion. So for me, it makes sense nitrogen depletion. So for me, it makes sense that these practices are that these practices are that these practices are associated. associated. associated. Uh, and what we also saw is that Uh, and what we also saw is that Uh, and what we also saw is that the microorganisms had a the microorganisms had a the microorganisms had a fairly limited lifespan. So it's also important fairly limited lifespan. So it's also important fairly limited lifespan. So it's also important to provide them regularly and to provide them regularly and to provide them regularly and not just put them in at the beginning of the not just put them in at the beginning of the not just put them in at the beginning of the culture and assume they will stay culture and assume they will stay culture and assume they will stay continuously. So what I continuously. So what I continuously. So what I just wanted to add is just wanted to add is just wanted to add is regarding organic matter, we regarding organic matter, we regarding organic matter, we are in urban and peri-urban systems are in urban and peri-urban systems are in urban and peri-urban systems where there is a very rapid turnover, where there is a very rapid turnover, where there is a very rapid turnover, and therefore these are not cereal systems and therefore these are not cereal systems and therefore these are not cereal systems where we can have a fairly long period where we can have a fairly long period where we can have a fairly long period in the dry season where we can in the dry season where we can in the dry season where we can afford to add afford to add afford to add organic matter that can decompose. organic matter that can decompose. organic matter that can decompose. I think that in urban and I think that in urban and I think that in urban and peri-urban systems, it is important to compost peri-urban systems, it is important to compost peri-urban systems, it is important to compost this organic matter so that it can be this organic matter so that it can be this organic matter so that it can be continuously supplied to continuously supplied to continuously supplied to crops. crops. crops. Uh, and I'll add another layer to that Uh, and I'll add another layer to that Uh, and I'll add another layer to that , which is that when you introduce , which is that when you introduce , which is that when you introduce microorganisms, the compost is microorganisms, the compost is microorganisms, the compost is much faster to set up than to much faster to set up than to much faster to set up than to be produced. So, we be produced. So, we be produced. So, we are at 3 months without microorganisms and we are at 3 months without microorganisms and we are at 3 months without microorganisms and we can be at 1 month with can be at 1 month with can be at 1 month with microorganisms. So there is an interest, microorganisms. So there is an interest, microorganisms. So there is an interest, uh, that's it, in making this uh, that's it, in making this uh, that's it, in making this organic matter usable more quickly organic matter usable more quickly organic matter usable more quickly . Uh, and we were talking . Uh, and we were talking . Uh, and we were talking a little bit about this earlier, which I a little bit about this earlier, which I a little bit about this earlier, which I wanted to bring up again, basically, it's, uh, well, wanted to bring up again, basically, it's, uh, well, wanted to bring up again, basically, it's, uh, well, the association of practices the association of practices the association of practices is beneficial. However, what we is beneficial. However, what we is beneficial. However, what we can say is that the association of can say is that the association of can say is that the association of conventional practice with conventional practice with conventional practice with the use of microorganisms is the use of microorganisms is the use of microorganisms is harmful. Well, we know that if we apply harmful. Well, we know that if we apply harmful. Well, we know that if we apply a fungicide or an insecticide after a fungicide or an insecticide after a fungicide or an insecticide after a treatment of microorganisms, a treatment of microorganisms, a treatment of microorganisms, we will lose that we will lose that we will lose that microbial diversity. So, it's important microbial diversity. So, it's important microbial diversity. So, it's important not to just not to just not to just simply add certain practices. Sometimes it is necessary simply add certain practices. Sometimes it is necessary simply add certain practices. Sometimes it is necessary to reduce other intakes, which may to reduce other intakes, which may to reduce other intakes, which may not have an inhibitory effect. To not have an inhibitory effect. To not have an inhibitory effect. To build on build on build on your point, Antoine, about not your point, Antoine, about not your point, Antoine, about not always mixing always mixing always mixing conventional and agroecological practices. For conventional and agroecological practices. For conventional and agroecological practices. For example, example, example, uh, uh, microorganism plus fungicide. I uh, uh, microorganism plus fungicide. I uh, uh, microorganism plus fungicide. I had a question. Uh, the had a question. Uh, the had a question. Uh, the market gardeners in the market gardeners in the market gardeners in the Cotonou region, uh, I have the impression, and please Cotonou region, uh, I have the impression, and please Cotonou region, uh, I have the impression, and please stop me if I'm talking nonsense stop me if I'm talking nonsense stop me if I'm talking nonsense , they use uh, a lot , they use uh, a lot , they use uh, a lot of chicken manure as fertilizer. of chicken manure as fertilizer. of chicken manure as fertilizer. This chicken manure comes from what This chicken manure comes from what This chicken manure comes from what I assume is a conventional farm. I assume is a conventional farm. I assume is a conventional farm. So I suppose she is loaded and So I suppose she is loaded and So I suppose she is loaded and it's the same, it's just assumptions it's the same, it's just assumptions it's the same, it's just assumptions and it's a question about antibiotics. and it's a question about antibiotics. and it's a question about antibiotics. Is it, uh, in the Is it, uh, in the Is it, uh, in the research on the impact of research on the impact of research on the impact of these microorganisms, the impact of these these microorganisms, the impact of these these microorganisms, the impact of these symbiotics, the appearance of nematodes symbiotics, the appearance of nematodes symbiotics, the appearance of nematodes as well? because the expansion, as well? because the expansion, as well? because the expansion, or rather the exponential development, of or rather the exponential development, of or rather the exponential development, of these GAL nematodes is not observed these GAL nematodes is not observed these GAL nematodes is not observed in other systems where we have in other systems where we have in other systems where we have much higher levels of organic matter, much higher levels of organic matter, much higher levels of organic matter, for example, or do you for example, or do you for example, or do you think that it may be due in part think that it may be due in part think that it may be due in part to the presence of antibiotics and the fact to the presence of antibiotics and the fact to the presence of antibiotics and the fact that every time we fertilize we that every time we fertilize we that every time we fertilize we disinfect, to make a huge leap in logic, disinfect, to make a huge leap in logic, perhaps, but it is a perhaps, but it is a perhaps, but it is a question that I have asked myself almost from question that I have asked myself almost from question that I have asked myself almost from the beginning of the urban project and I have not had the beginning of the urban project and I have not had the beginning of the urban project and I have not had the opportunity to have analyses of the opportunity to have analyses of the opportunity to have analyses of the chicken manure. So, here's the the chicken manure. So, here's the the chicken manure. So, here's the question I'm asking you. question I'm asking you. question I'm asking you. Hm. Yes. In any case, uh, not all Hm. Yes. In any case, uh, not all Hm. Yes. In any case, uh, not all organic matter, amendment or organic matter, amendment or organic matter, amendment or organic fertilizer, is perfect. It can organic fertilizer, is perfect. It can organic fertilizer, is perfect. It can have forms of pollution have forms of pollution have forms of pollution through poultry flamingos, through poultry flamingos, through poultry flamingos, antibiotics, but also pathogens antibiotics, but also pathogens antibiotics, but also pathogens that can be harmful to humans. that can be harmful to humans. that can be harmful to humans. Therefore, there are risks of Therefore, there are risks of Therefore, there are risks of microbial contamination for microbial contamination for microbial contamination for consumers. consumers. consumers. Uh, Uh, Uh, and so, uh, whether it's the and so, uh, whether it's the and so, uh, whether it's the poultry company, but also the bits of poultry company, but also the bits of poultry company, but also the bits of waste, uh, which can also be waste, uh, which can also be waste, uh, which can also be used and can have a used and can have a used and can have a beneficial impact in terms of beneficial impact in terms of beneficial impact in terms of carbon input into the soil. But in any carbon input into the soil. But in any carbon input into the soil. But in any case, there is a health aspect case, there is a health aspect case, there is a health aspect that needs to be taken into account. So, that needs to be taken into account. So, that needs to be taken into account. So, with the sira of a colleague with the sira of a colleague with the sira of a colleague Mathieu Bravin from the recycling and Mathieu Bravin from the recycling and Mathieu Bravin from the recycling and risk unit, we are in the process of taking risk unit, we are in the process of taking risk unit, we are in the process of taking different samples of different samples of different samples of soil and organic matter to soil and organic matter to soil and organic matter to analyze them and see really what is in them analyze them and see really what is in them analyze them and see really what is in them in terms of pollution. Uh, so in terms of pollution. Uh, so in terms of pollution. Uh, so metaour and uh, and pathogen. metaour and uh, and pathogen. metaour and uh, and pathogen. Regarding the question of Regarding the question of Regarding the question of nematodes, it is possible that nematodes, it is possible that nematodes, it is possible that organic matter or organic matter or organic matter or organic fertilizers transmit pathogens, organic fertilizers transmit pathogens, organic fertilizers transmit pathogens, nematodes or others. Uh, that's entirely nematodes or others. Uh, that's entirely nematodes or others. Uh, that's entirely possible. In any case, one thing possible. In any case, one thing possible. In any case, one thing that is certain is that a soil very that is certain is that a soil very that is certain is that a soil very poor in organic matter is a poor in organic matter is a poor in organic matter is a soil that will be more easily soil that will be more easily soil that will be more easily infested with telluric diseases, infested with telluric diseases, infested with telluric diseases, telluric pathogens, monatodes, telluric pathogens, monatodes, telluric pathogens, monatodes, bacterial wilt. In fact, there is bacterial wilt. In fact, there is bacterial wilt. In fact, there is a biological balance that is no longer a biological balance that is no longer a biological balance that is no longer present, the soil is unbalanced present, the soil is unbalanced present, the soil is unbalanced and certain pathogens will take over and certain pathogens will take over and certain pathogens will take over and take advantage of this and take advantage of this and take advantage of this imbalance to multiply and imbalance to multiply and imbalance to multiply and infest the crops. So in healthy soil, we So in healthy soil, we So in healthy soil, we obviously always have nematodes or obviously always have nematodes or obviously always have nematodes or bacteria and pathogens, but in fact bacteria and pathogens, but in fact bacteria and pathogens, but in fact they will be they will be they will be so few in number and surrounded by so many so few in number and surrounded by so many other organisms that in fact there will not be any other organisms that in fact there will not be any other organisms that in fact there will not be any damage to damage to damage to vegetable crops. vegetable crops. vegetable crops. Many thanks to Antoine for making the Many thanks to Antoine for making the Many thanks to Antoine for making the connection. Thank you to everyone, all the connection. Thank you to everyone, all the connection. Thank you to everyone, all the organizers, all those who organizers, all those who organizers, all those who mobilized for the design and mobilized for the design and mobilized for the design and implementation of the urban project and thank you for implementation of the urban project and thank you for implementation of the urban project and thank you for also giving us the opportunity to also giving us the opportunity to also giving us the opportunity to share what we are doing on the side of the share what we are doing on the side of the SPG approach to enhance SPG approach to enhance SPG approach to enhance agricultural products. So I'm going to agricultural products. So I'm going to agricultural products. So I'm going to make two presentations, so I'll do them make two presentations, so I'll do them make two presentations, so I'll do them very quickly, and our motto is also to and our motto is also to and our motto is also to consume organic products where we live without consume organic products where we live without consume organic products where we live without polluting the environment. The SPJ is a polluting the environment. The SPJ is a polluting the environment. The SPJ is a credible tool for certifying credible tool for certifying credible tool for certifying organic agricultural products. organic agricultural products. organic agricultural products. So it's an alternative certification system So it's an alternative certification system So it's an alternative certification system adapted to the local realities adapted to the local realities adapted to the local realities of each country or region. It is of each country or region. It is of each country or region. It is less expensive compared to third- less expensive compared to third- less expensive compared to third- party IT certifications. Benin was party IT certifications. Benin was party IT certifications. Benin was the very first country the very first country the very first country in West and in West and in West and Central Africa to implement the biospg label, which is a Central Africa to implement the biospg label, which is a Central Africa to implement the biospg label, which is a participatory certification. participatory certification. participatory certification. So, as defined by the FAM, it is a So, as defined by the FAM, it is a locally rooted quality assurance system that certifies productions locally rooted quality assurance system that certifies productions locally rooted quality assurance system that certifies productions based on the active participation based on the active participation based on the active participation of consumers and producers of consumers and producers of consumers and producers concerned through trust, concerned through trust, concerned through trust, exchanges and also knowledge and and also knowledge and and also knowledge and know-how. know-how. know-how. It is an It is an It is an alternative certification to the TS party certification. alternative certification to the TS party certification. alternative certification to the TS party certification. So, there are some slides that So, there are some slides that So, there are some slides that I'm going to go through very quickly. Uh, I'm going to go through very quickly. Uh, I'm going to go through very quickly. Uh, the SPG is developing pretty much everywhere on the SPG is developing pretty much everywhere on the SPG is developing pretty much everywhere on all continents and I have the all continents and I have the all continents and I have the statistics from 2019, there were already statistics from 2019, there were already statistics from 2019, there were already more than 250 SPG initiatives in more than more than 250 SPG initiatives in more than more than 250 SPG initiatives in more than 110 countries. 110 countries. 110 countries. So you can see a bit on the So you can see a bit on the So you can see a bit on the world map there, uh, uh, let's say the distribution world map there, uh, uh, let's say the distribution world map there, uh, uh, let's say the distribution of SPG initiatives. In Africa, there are about of SPG initiatives. In Africa, there are about of SPG initiatives. In Africa, there are about fifty of them. fifty of them. fifty of them. In Benin, we have approximately In Benin, we have approximately In Benin, we have approximately forty SPG initiatives, forty SPG initiatives, forty SPG initiatives, SPG groups in the departments of SPG groups in the departments of SPG groups in the departments of Benin. Benin. Benin. On the screen, you can see a bit of the processing units On the screen, you can see a bit of the processing units which therefore process which therefore process which therefore process BIOSPG certified products. In the second column, BIOSPG certified products. In the second column, BIOSPG certified products.

The following table shows about The following table shows about The following table shows about ten shops and points of ten shops and points of ten shops and points of sale of certified biospg products in sale of certified biospg products in sale of certified biospg products in Benin. There are more than Benin. There are more than Benin. There are more than thirty of them. We positioned just about ten of them thirty of them. We positioned just about ten of them thirty of them. We positioned just about ten of them there. there. there. So, some figures today: So, some figures today: So, some figures today: more than 2300 producers involved more than 2300 producers involved more than 2300 producers involved in SPG certification, 37 in SPG certification, 37 in SPG certification, 37 producer organizations or groups, producer organizations or groups, producer organizations or groups, 22 municipalities in Benin, 8 departments, 12 22 municipalities in Benin, 8 departments, 12 22 municipalities in Benin, 8 departments, 12 value chains, 12 shops and 10 value chains, 12 shops and 10 value chains, 12 shops and 10 processing units. processing units. processing units.

So the BC at the level of Benin, the So the BC at the level of Benin, the So the BC at the level of Benin, the few value chains. There is market few value chains. There is market few value chains. There is market gardening, there is organic rice, there are gardening, there is organic rice, there are gardening, there is organic rice, there are fruit juices, there is organic soy, there is fruit juices, there is organic soy, there is fruit juices, there is organic soy, there is purple corn, it is derived, there is organic cassava purple corn, it is derived, there is organic cassava purple corn, it is derived, there is organic cassava and it is derived, there is and it is derived, there is and it is derived, there is honey, there is organic broiler chicken honey, there is organic broiler chicken honey, there is organic broiler chicken which is starting up. Currently, which is starting up. Currently, which is starting up. Currently, the SPGB is based on the SPGB is based on the SPGB is based on organic farming tools and standards which organic farming tools and standards which organic farming tools and standards which involve the support and commitment involve the support and commitment involve the support and commitment of actors working to of actors working to of actors working to promote organic and promote organic and promote organic and ecological agriculture, namely producers, ecological agriculture, namely producers, ecological agriculture, namely producers, consumers, processors, but consumers, processors, but consumers, processors, but also distributors and also distributors and also distributors and non-governmental organizations that are non-governmental organizations that are non-governmental organizations that are involved in the field of involved in the field of involved in the field of organic agriculture. It is a tool organic agriculture. It is a tool organic agriculture. It is a tool for developing local and for developing local and for developing local and national markets. national markets. national markets. You therefore have on the screen the brand of the You therefore have on the screen the brand of the You therefore have on the screen the brand of the certification logo of the SPG of Benin. certification logo of the SPG of Benin. certification logo of the SPG of Benin. So why the SPG at the level of Benin So why the SPG at the level of Benin So why the SPG at the level of Benin ? ? ? There are four reasons. The first There are four reasons. The first There are four reasons. The first reason is to reduce the costs of reason is to reduce the costs of reason is to reduce the costs of organic certification of products, organic certification of products, organic certification of products, to adapt demand to the supply of to adapt demand to the supply of to adapt demand to the supply of organic products and to develop organic products and to develop organic products and to develop local organic markets. local organic markets. local organic markets. To make the mode credible. Yes. Can you To make the mode credible. Yes. Can you To make the mode credible. Yes. Can you hear me, Edgar? Yes, sorry. I'm hear me, Edgar? Yes, sorry. I'm hear me, Edgar? Yes, sorry. I'm just going to ask if you just going to ask if you just going to ask if you could click on "hide" at the bottom so could click on "hide" at the bottom so could click on "hide" at the bottom so we can see your entire presentation we can see your entire presentation we can see your entire presentation right there. Perfect. You have nothing more to say. right there. Perfect. You have nothing more to say. right there. Perfect. You have nothing more to say. Thank you so much. Thank you so much. Thank you so much. Thank you so much. So, to give back, Thank you so much. So, to give back, Thank you so much. So, to give back, I was mentioning the reasons that brought us I was mentioning the reasons that brought us I was mentioning the reasons that brought us here. Well, that's the very reason, it's to here. Well, that's the very reason, it's to here. Well, that's the very reason, it's to make the organic production method credible make the organic production method credible make the organic production method credible and to give a guarantee to and to give a guarantee to and to give a guarantee to local consumers who local consumers who local consumers who themselves participate in the certification system. themselves participate in the certification system. themselves participate in the certification system.

So the benefits of the SPG, it still allows, So the benefits of the SPG, it still allows, So the benefits of the SPG, it still allows, uh, the SPG of uh, the SPG of uh, the SPG of organic habituation in general, it therefore allows to organic habituation in general, it therefore allows to organic habituation in general, it therefore allows to feed the population, to preserve feed the population, to preserve feed the population, to preserve natural resources, to enhance natural resources, to enhance natural resources, to enhance local agricultural products by local agricultural products by local agricultural products by quality, to distinguish products quality, to distinguish products quality, to distinguish products grown or processed according to grown or processed according to grown or processed according to organic production standards. organic production standards. organic production standards. And this also allows for And this also allows for And this also allows for a capital gain. a capital gain. a capital gain. I'll give a few examples here. When I I'll give a few examples here. When I I'll give a few examples here. When I take the case of AMAP Benin for the past 5 take the case of AMAP Benin for the past 5 take the case of AMAP Benin for the past 5 years, the cooperative society AMP Benin has been able to years, the cooperative society AMP Benin has been able to years, the cooperative society AMP Benin has been able to obtain a delivery contract for obtain a delivery contract for obtain a delivery contract for several products including vegetables, several products including vegetables, several products including vegetables, fruit juices, organic rice fruit juices, organic rice fruit juices, organic rice and to the city to the company serv which and to the city to the company serv which and to the city to the company serv which is the catering arm of Air France is the catering arm of Air France is the catering arm of Air France and we were able to negotiate a and we were able to negotiate a and we were able to negotiate a 10% organic bonus which is applied to all 10% organic bonus which is applied to all 10% organic bonus which is applied to all products. When we products. When we products. When we also consider the case of Maticport rice which also consider the case of Maticport rice which also consider the case of Maticport rice which is made in the commune of Grand Popo, is made in the commune of Grand Popo, is made in the commune of Grand Popo, we realize that it is the rice from we realize that it is the rice from we realize that it is the rice from Benin which is the most sold, which is the Benin which is the most sold, which is the Benin which is the most sold, which is the best sold with a margin of with a best sold with a margin of with a best sold with a margin of with a price difference of 30% compared price difference of 30% compared price difference of 30% compared to other rice. to other rice. to other rice. So when we also take the So when we also take the So when we also take the case of soy, case of soy, case of soy, organic soy, I mean for the last 3 years, the government announces for the last 3 years, the government announces for the last 3 years, the government announces the official selling prices of soy. We the official selling prices of soy. We the official selling prices of soy. We realize that each time the realize that each time the realize that each time the official price, there is a 50% difference official price, there is a 50% difference official price, there is a 50% difference in the price of organic soyaat compared to in the price of organic soyaat compared to in the price of organic soyaat compared to conventional soyaat, which is conventional soyaat, which is conventional soyaat, which is still about 18% compared to still about 18% compared to still about 18% compared to conventional soyaat. So these are all conventional soyaat. So these are all conventional soyaat. So these are all jobs that still show that there is an jobs that still show that there is an jobs that still show that there is an interest in being able to support interest in being able to support interest in being able to support small farmers in certifying their small farmers in certifying their small farmers in certifying their products by following the organic approach SPG. products by following the organic approach SPG. products by following the organic approach SPG.

'''Topping''' consists of cutting the vegetation above the crop. This '''prophylactic mowing''' aims to '''reduce the seed bank of the weed flora.'''

==Objective==
Operating similarly to a [[corn]] detasseler, its [[:Category:Objectif|objective]] is to '''cut the inflorescence of unwanted plants to stop seed formation and dispersal''' before they become viable.

==Description==
The [[topping machine]] is used once the crops are well developed and control methods such as the [[harrow]], the crust breaker/the [[rotary hoe]], the [[hoe]] and certain herbicides on hoed crops are no longer possible. Like many weed control methods, timing is crucial but the topping machine allows thinning of grasses, [[Avena fatua|wild oats]], [[Amaranthus|amaranth]] and [[Thistles|thistle]].

Nevertheless, even if the [[weeding]] is not definitive, competition is limited. This type of equipment should allow topping of weeds with thicker and tougher stems, letting thinner stems or grass leaves pass through.

==Application context==
The topping machine should be used in addition to other [[mechanical weeding]] tools, as a catch-up tool.
* '''Crops:''' All types of crops.
* '''Weeds:''' [[Avena fatua|wild oats]], [[Vulpia myuros|rat's-tail fescue]], [[ryegrass]], [[Rumex]], [[:Category:Thistles|thistle]].
* '''Ideal weed stage:''' '''Before seed formation''', above the crop.
* The '''intervention period''' is potentially '''short''':
** The time when weeds sufficiently exceed the crop can be short.
** The time lapse between heading and seed viability (= species multiplication) can be short (wild oats).

To address this issue, '''multiple passes''' may be made.
* '''Ease of implementation varies''' depending on the weeds: Rat's-tail fescue does not exceed wheat much; the solution can be provided by wheat with a '''short straw phenotype''' or a '''late variety''' allowing weeds to exceed it early in the season.
* '''Difficulties''' in case of '''varietal mixture''', as crop height is less uniform.
* '''Risk of crop damage''' (partial or total cutting of ears), ideally having an adjustable cutting height (2 or more sections) depending on the terrain.
* '''Significant export''' in case of severe field infestation, up to 15/18 t/ha of fresh matter.
* '''Foliar herbicide treatments''' can cause growth delay and/or lodging of weeds and thus a '''decrease in topping effectiveness'''.
* '''Strong dependence on weather for intervention periods.'''
* '''Points of caution:'''
** Adjusting the knife angle requires experience.
** The rotation speed of the deflectors must be quite high. Despite this, if vegetation is very dense, clogging on the frame can occur.
** When the crop is very weedy, a double pass is necessary; its weak point remains wild oats, which are more elusive.

==Advantages and disadvantages==

===Advantages===
* The topping machine is an asset in the range of mechanical weeding tools.
* Allows catch-up but tends to be used more systematically.
* Replaces some herbicides ([https://ephy.anses.fr/ppp/axial Axial]) that have become ineffective.
* Exported material can be valorized by methanization.
* Significant reduction in weed pressure.

===Disadvantages===
* Sensitive to '''clogging''' and [[wind]].
* '''Machine fragility'''.
* '''Highly variable effectiveness''' depending on species, conditions, and context.
* '''Crushing/flattening''' of part of the wheat during topping. The affected area depends on the track spacing (thus the farm's equipment) but is around '''1% to 2%''', i.e., a loss of about 36 euros/ha for a yield of 80 q sold at 230 euros/t.

== The method's effectiveness is variable: ==
* For '''ryegrass in wheat''', an experiment showed that the average effectiveness of this method is '''50% of plants topped'''. The '''effectiveness varies greatly''' depending on conditions, from 40% when ryegrass is lodged to 80% in patches or when the height difference between weeds and crop is significant.
* For '''rat's-tail fescue in wheat''', effectiveness is relatively similar with an average around '''55% +/- 10%'''. However, an improvement in topping effectiveness is observed on '''rat's-tail fescue in einkorn wheat, 75% +/- 10%'''. This is explained because the latter reaches the stem elongation stage late, allowing weeds to exceed it more clearly and systematically.
* Case of '''wild oats'''. It has a tall inflorescence and often greatly exceeds crops, '''very good aptitude for topping'''. It is observed that the earlier the '''topping is done''', the lower the '''seed maturity level'''. Indeed, for a topping at the end of May, about 10-15% of seeds are viable and germinate, while for an intervention at the end of June, around 80% germinate. Overall, a factor of 2 to 3 is observed on seed germination depending on maturity stage. Even immature, some wild oat seeds are viable.
* '''Effectiveness''' depends on the '''topping date''' (general case/rat's-tail fescue). The trend is an increase in seeds topped during later interventions. However, the later the date, the higher the viability rate of weed seeds. The '''optimal intervention seems to be early June''' with an effectiveness of 60% and seed viability below 10% (the date may '''vary depending on years and pedoclimatic context''').

Ideally, '''multiple passes''' (2 or 3) should be made to increase the chances of hitting the maximum number of ears before their viability.

'''Note:''' When topping machines export seeds like harvesters (see 1st photo), the seed viability issue is no longer relevant. Intervention is still possible and useful until harvest if seeds have not already fallen to the ground.

Effectiveness is measured by the number of weed ears exported over the total number of weed ears.

==Focus on the tool==
The topping machine generally consists of '''several panels, each between 1 and 2 m wide''', fixed on a frame with hydraulic or mechanical folding. Usually mounted '''frontally''' for better visibility of working height, it fits on front linkage (or weight carrier) or front loader.

For '''rotary blade tools''', each panel has 3 to 5 blades of 30 to 50 cm each. They are connected at the top to a belt (sometimes a chain or gears) driven hydraulically (one hydraulic motor per panel), making the tool demanding in oil flow: 7 to 10 l/min per meter of width.

The '''forward speed depends directly on the density of stems to be cut''' and is linked to '''the height difference between unwanted seeds and the planted crop''' (the greater the difference, the greater the allowable driving imprecision, the higher the forward speed).

The '''hourly output ranges between 1 and 3 ha per hour''' depending on models, with work often done "by tasks". Some models can be equipped with hydraulic tilt correction, very useful when the field surface is not perfectly flat.

Listen to what German farmers have to say [[about]] their experience with [[Agroforestry]] in this video about the AGROMIX German pilot project field visit. The field visit was coordinated by IfaS which took place on the 9th of February 2023 in Palatinate, Germany. The field visit took participants around three different farms in the area that are leading the way in Agroforestry practices. Each farm engages with Agroforestry in a different way and acts as a reference for agroforestry practices. The AGROMIX project promotes the transition towards a resilient and efficient land use in Europe, providing agroecological solutions for farm and land management. The project intends to collaborate with farmers and other relevant actors to find common solutions. Using agroforestry to provide environmental services was another overriding theme during the field visit.

Right now, [[agroforestry]] makes up only 3% of the UK's land use. For a better climate, this needs to be scaled up. But first we need effective policies. To accomplish that, AGROMIX hosted a policy workshop in England this past January with farmers, policy makers and major landowners. Watch this video to hear [[about]] policy options and scenarios for this necessary transition.

course this is a bit of a it's still a course this is a bit of a it's still a course this is a bit of a it's still a holiday time for many people in europe holiday time for many people in europe holiday time for many people in europe and we noticed that when sending out the and we noticed that when sending out the and we noticed that when sending out the invitations and reminders that there are invitations and reminders that there are invitations and reminders that there are lots quite a few out of office messages lots quite a few out of office messages lots quite a few out of office messages and and and and so forth and so forth and so forth and that's why we're recording this and that's why we're recording this and that's why we're recording this webinar because we know a number

can see so you can see so you can see the screen now okay well yeah well yeah well yeah i'm happy i'm happy to to have the i'm happy i'm happy to to have the i'm happy i'm happy to to have the opportunity to present our project opportunity to present our project opportunity to present our project um to you today and to give a little bit um to you today and to give a little bit um to you today and to give a little bit of a overview of a overview of a overview but i also want to give some insights of but i also want to give some insights of but i also want to give some insights of the motivation behind the project the motivation behind the project the motivation behind the project which is called coup proclima which is called coup proclima which is called coup proclima cause for climate cause for climate cause for climate and this project started on our farm in and this project started on our farm in and this project started on our farm in bavaria bavaria bavaria we are located in the region called we are located in the region called we are located in the region called algoe that's algoe that's algoe that's like anton said near the border of like anton said near the border of like anton said near the border of austria and switzerland is not far away austria and switzerland is not far away austria and switzerland is not far away either either either and i lived in this place now for almost and i lived in this place now for almost and i lived in this place now for almost 25 years 25 years 25 years well since i married an original algoya well since i married an original algoya well since i married an original algoya mountain farmer mountain farmer mountain farmer a very rare species by the way a very rare species by the way a very rare species by the way and um yeah we are here the fourth and um yeah we are here the fourth and um yeah we are here the fourth generation of this typical mountain farm generation of this typical mountain farm generation of this typical mountain farm it's quite a small farm 25 hectares it's quite a small farm 25 hectares it's quite a small farm 25 hectares um but therefore we are quite creative um but therefore we are quite creative um but therefore we are quite creative and um quite diverse and um quite diverse and um quite diverse and and therefore we are more or less and and therefore we are more or less and and therefore we are more or less independent which helps a lot in these independent which helps a lot in these independent which helps a lot in these times times times and and and yeah yeah yeah of all what i listed here um of all what i listed here um of all what i listed here um the maybe the maybe the maybe most impact we got out of this most impact we got out of this most impact we got out of this um um um holistic holistic holistic holistic management framework concept we holistic management framework concept we holistic management framework concept we discovered this in 2015 discovered this in 2015 discovered this in 2015 and started then one year later with the and started then one year later with the and started then one year later with the holistic plan grazing and holistic plan grazing and holistic plan grazing and we really never looked back we really never looked back we really never looked back but but but on the other hand the more we learned on the other hand the more we learned on the other hand the more we learned about nature's way about nature's way about nature's way we realized that we definitely we realized that we definitely we realized that we definitely needed more on farm research we need needed more on farm research we need needed more on farm research we need more knowledge about more knowledge about more knowledge about everything and that's why we invented everything and that's why we invented everything and that's why we invented the project crew proclima but but but that wasn't the only reason um the main reason actually why we changed the main reason actually why we changed the main reason actually why we changed so many things where that we have we so many things where that we have we so many things where that we have we really are facing a lot of weather really are facing a lot of weather really are facing a lot of weather extremes extremes extremes um um um it got really worse the last 10 to 15 it got really worse the last 10 to 15 it got really worse the last 10 to 15 years years years and it's getting worser and it's getting worser and it's getting worser every year and every year and every year and if you look at this um graphic you can if you look at this um graphic you can if you look at this um graphic you can see why because the temperature is see why because the temperature is see why because the temperature is rising rising rising um in the algoy as well and that um in the algoy as well and that um in the algoy as well and that makes our life makes our life makes our life more difficult more difficult more difficult so we are quite so we are quite so we are quite affected on our location because it's affected on our location because it's affected on our location because it's a specific um a specific um a specific um part of part of part of underground we are underground we are underground we are located on an end moraine located on an end moraine located on an end moraine so it's more or less a pile of rubble so it's more or less a pile of rubble so it's more or less a pile of rubble not a very stable underground very not a very stable underground very not a very stable underground very difficult soil types underneath steep difficult soil types underneath steep difficult soil types underneath steep slopes slopes slopes in parts over 50 percent in parts over 50 percent in parts over 50 percent and um yeah erosion is is and um yeah erosion is is and um yeah erosion is is definitely definitely definitely um a topic here through wind and water um a topic here through wind and water um a topic here through wind and water we have a quite we have a quite we have a quite short vegetation a vegetation period short vegetation a vegetation period short vegetation a vegetation period high rainfall and um yeah and the snow high rainfall and um yeah and the snow high rainfall and um yeah and the snow is getting is getting is getting um um um heavier every year as well because the heavier every year as well because the heavier every year as well because the temperature is rising so temperature is rising so temperature is rising so with with with longer periods of droughts in between longer periods of droughts in between longer periods of droughts in between so it's getting more and more difficult so it's getting more and more difficult so it's getting more and more difficult and and but yeah you can't really blame it and but yeah you can't really blame it and but yeah you can't really blame it only on the weather only on the weather only on the weather we we we and and maybe the generation before us and and maybe the generation before us and and maybe the generation before us we made some we made some we made some severe management mistakes as well severe management mistakes as well severe management mistakes as well and and and they they they didn't help us in our task of becoming didn't help us in our task of becoming didn't help us in our task of becoming more resilient so in in hindsight i can more resilient so in in hindsight i can more resilient so in in hindsight i can see see see uh what we did wrong uh what we did wrong uh what we did wrong um um um and and and this and oh it's this and oh it's this and oh it's okay that was okay that was okay that was um okay um okay um okay from the from the from the conversions from the conversions from the conversions from the other program other program other program so um yeah so um yeah so um yeah well we did a lot of things wrong well we did a lot of things wrong well we did a lot of things wrong and this is a picture of old of the old and this is a picture of old of the old and this is a picture of old of the old days maybe days maybe days maybe taken 15 or 20 years ago but it shows taken 15 or 20 years ago but it shows taken 15 or 20 years ago but it shows quite good why we weren't able to build quite good why we weren't able to build quite good why we weren't able to build soil and soil and soil and to get more deeper to get more deeper to get more deeper deep rooted biomass so at least we deep rooted biomass so at least we deep rooted biomass so at least we figured out that figured out that figured out that we couldn't continue with what we were we couldn't continue with what we were we couldn't continue with what we were doing and we tried to change it and doing and we tried to change it and doing and we tried to change it and switched to the other extreme switched to the other extreme switched to the other extreme which wasn't helpful either so we faced which wasn't helpful either so we faced which wasn't helpful either so we faced quite quite quite a lot of losses here as well with this a lot of losses here as well with this a lot of losses here as well with this more extensive management we even had to more extensive management we even had to more extensive management we even had to de-stock our cattle because there wasn't de-stock our cattle because there wasn't de-stock our cattle because there wasn't enough forage growing enough forage growing enough forage growing anymore to bring them all the cattle anymore to bring them all the cattle anymore to bring them all the cattle through the through the through the uh through the year not only through the uh through the year not only through the uh through the year not only through the winter winter winter um and especially in summer when when it um and especially in summer when when it um and especially in summer when when it was really a dry was really a dry was really a dry it wasn't growing anymore so it wasn't growing anymore so it wasn't growing anymore so we had to do something and we had to do something and we had to do something and and we tried more things and then we did and we tried more things and then we did and we tried more things and then we did this discovered this holistic management this discovered this holistic management this discovered this holistic management concept and concept and concept and it still it took us a while to it still it took us a while to it still it took us a while to understand what the trick is behind this understand what the trick is behind this understand what the trick is behind this and it's the variability it's um and it's the variability it's um and it's the variability it's um i'm i have a medical background that's i'm i have a medical background that's i'm i have a medical background that's why i can associate this with the heart why i can associate this with the heart why i can associate this with the heart rate variability of an organism so the rate variability of an organism so the rate variability of an organism so the higher it is the better it can adapt to higher it is the better it can adapt to higher it is the better it can adapt to to influences from the outside and the to influences from the outside and the to influences from the outside and the healthier it is in the end so healthier it is in the end so healthier it is in the end so we um we um we um the problem is really or it was for us the problem is really or it was for us the problem is really or it was for us before that that we really um tried to before that that we really um tried to before that that we really um tried to keep everything even at the same level keep everything even at the same level keep everything even at the same level but that really doesn't make us but that really doesn't make us but that really doesn't make us resilient at all so so so instead of controlling our system even instead of controlling our system even instead of controlling our system even more to to fight weather extremes more to to fight weather extremes more to to fight weather extremes instead of pumping instead of pumping instead of pumping a lot of efforts um or more energy into a lot of efforts um or more energy into a lot of efforts um or more energy into the system to keep it um permanently on the system to keep it um permanently on the system to keep it um permanently on the same level the same level the same level uh we have to really have to learn to uh we have to really have to learn to uh we have to really have to learn to feel the pulse the heart rate of our feel the pulse the heart rate of our feel the pulse the heart rate of our land of our living system land of our living system land of our living system and then we can figure out what's needed and then we can figure out what's needed and then we can figure out what's needed and go from there so we have to and go from there so we have to and go from there so we have to um like um like um like savory says all the time savory says all the time savory says all the time it's it's really about doing the right it's it's really about doing the right it's it's really about doing the right thing at the right time with the right thing at the right time with the right thing at the right time with the right behavior behavior behavior but is it easy no it's not but is it easy no it's not but is it easy no it's not so so so because it takes a lot of practice and because it takes a lot of practice and because it takes a lot of practice and experience to to get the whole picture experience to to get the whole picture experience to to get the whole picture and the other thing we didn't understand and the other thing we didn't understand and the other thing we didn't understand um or knew about was the concept of the um or knew about was the concept of the um or knew about was the concept of the underlying ecosystem processes underlying ecosystem processes underlying ecosystem processes so we didn't see or didn't get the whole so we didn't see or didn't get the whole so we didn't see or didn't get the whole picture picture picture and didn't see how everything is and didn't see how everything is and didn't see how everything is connected connected connected but but but yeah as a farmer you know everything yeah as a farmer you know everything yeah as a farmer you know everything about farming but you about farming but you about farming but you don't know much about how nature works don't know much about how nature works don't know much about how nature works um and as it turns out that's very um and as it turns out that's very um and as it turns out that's very essential if you want to um essential if you want to um essential if you want to um sustain in future so so so what we really need to know is how can what we really need to know is how can what we really need to know is how can we find our way back into this system we find our way back into this system we find our way back into this system how do we get how do we get how do we get the natural nutrient cycle going without the natural nutrient cycle going without the natural nutrient cycle going without or with less liquid manure so how can we or with less liquid manure so how can we or with less liquid manure so how can we implement more biodiversity in our implement more biodiversity in our implement more biodiversity in our pasture pasture pasture and when is the right time to raise a and when is the right time to raise a and when is the right time to raise a plant so that plant so that plant so that the carbon sequestration process the carbon sequestration process the carbon sequestration process improves or improves or improves or by what signs do do you see um the water by what signs do do you see um the water by what signs do do you see um the water cycle cycle cycle is improving is improving is improving so is the succession going backwards or so is the succession going backwards or so is the succession going backwards or forward forward forward and if you figured all that out um what what what then i have to know what i need to do then i have to know what i need to do then i have to know what i need to do with that information with that information with that information and the cow knows all this she's really and the cow knows all this she's really and the cow knows all this she's really a specialist in improving soil fertility a specialist in improving soil fertility a specialist in improving soil fertility and she can create very biodiverse and she can create very biodiverse and she can create very biodiverse landscapes that's why she can help us landscapes that's why she can help us landscapes that's why she can help us now with our climate change problem now with our climate change problem now with our climate change problem she can improve all ecosystem processes she can improve all ecosystem processes she can improve all ecosystem processes in grassland in grassland in grassland but she also but she also but she also can destroy them if you don't let her do can destroy them if you don't let her do can destroy them if you don't let her do her job properly her job properly her job properly that's what we did wrong at the that's what we did wrong at the that's what we did wrong at the beginning beginning beginning so it's really up to us in the end if it so it's really up to us in the end if it so it's really up to us in the end if it goes goes goes into the right direction or if into the right direction or if into the right direction or if everything is everything is everything is degrading again so degrading again so degrading again so and this holistic management framework and this holistic management framework and this holistic management framework is quite helpful to manage is quite helpful to manage is quite helpful to manage living systems but still living systems but still living systems but still you need to have an understanding you need to have an understanding you need to have an understanding of your climate of your climate of your climate and your land and your land and your land the pulse so to speak of your land or the pulse so to speak of your land or the pulse so to speak of your land or the heart rate and your context the heart rate and your context the heart rate and your context to use it successfully and one of and one of and one of the tools of this holistic management the tools of this holistic management the tools of this holistic management framework framework framework is the holistic plan grazing so it's is the holistic plan grazing so it's is the holistic plan grazing so it's always getting mixed up it's not the always getting mixed up it's not the always getting mixed up it's not the same holistic management framework and same holistic management framework and same holistic management framework and holistic plan grazing it's not exactly holistic plan grazing it's not exactly holistic plan grazing it's not exactly the same the same the same so so so most of the time most of the time most of the time um holistic plan grazing looks like mob um holistic plan grazing looks like mob um holistic plan grazing looks like mob grazing but grazing but grazing but actually it's more than that actually it's more than that actually it's more than that and without going into much detail and without going into much detail and without going into much detail one can say that the main goal of one can say that the main goal of one can say that the main goal of holistic plant grazing is to try to holistic plant grazing is to try to holistic plant grazing is to try to improve the ecosystem processes holistic improve the ecosystem processes holistic improve the ecosystem processes holistic plant grazing means plant grazing means plant grazing means you manage for the cow for you manage for the cow for you manage for the cow for for yourself for the for the soil for for yourself for the for the soil for for yourself for the for the soil for the plants the plants the plants and even for the wildlife and the idea and even for the wildlife and the idea and even for the wildlife and the idea is to improve everything is to improve everything is to improve everything so you don't focus only um on the so you don't focus only um on the so you don't focus only um on the productivity of of the cow productivity of of the cow productivity of of the cow of the milk of the milk of the milk outcome or meat whatever you outcome or meat whatever you outcome or meat whatever you um do so um do so um do so the outcome um on the other hand is the outcome um on the other hand is the outcome um on the other hand is always what the farmer has planned or always what the farmer has planned or always what the farmer has planned or managed for or managed for or managed for or what he wants so what he wants so what he wants so um that's why it's so difficult to um that's why it's so difficult to um that's why it's so difficult to compare compare compare to to to two farms who are doing a holistic two farms who are doing a holistic two farms who are doing a holistic management because every farmer has management because every farmer has management because every farmer has the same not the same goal the same not the same goal the same not the same goal he he wants to reach different he he wants to reach different he he wants to reach different outcomes outcomes outcomes so so so since now since we are grassland dairy since now since we are grassland dairy since now since we are grassland dairy farmers um and we have cows farmers um and we have cows farmers um and we have cows who are who are who are [Music] [Music] [Music] highly specialized in land restoration highly specialized in land restoration highly specialized in land restoration we should really know more about what we should really know more about what we should really know more about what they can do besides giving us milk and they can do besides giving us milk and they can do besides giving us milk and meat and meat and meat and these are the main questions now these are the main questions now these are the main questions now for us and to discover so how does she for us and to discover so how does she for us and to discover so how does she do it and what does she actually do do it and what does she actually do do it and what does she actually do and how can we help her to do the right and how can we help her to do the right and how can we help her to do the right thing thing thing and that's why and that's why and that's why the point when we decided that we need the point when we decided that we need the point when we decided that we need more help from science and more help from science and more help from science and that's why we founded the oogie coonant that's why we founded the oogie coonant that's why we founded the oogie coonant in in in and with me i mean seven dairy farmers and with me i mean seven dairy farmers and with me i mean seven dairy farmers we are all organic um dairy farmers and we are all organic um dairy farmers and we are all organic um dairy farmers and three scientists and to other partners three scientists and to other partners three scientists and to other partners we we we have in our group and we also could win have in our group and we also could win have in our group and we also could win the soil science chair of the theo the soil science chair of the theo the soil science chair of the theo munching for opera for our project munching for opera for our project munching for opera for our project and and and the bavarian the bavarian the bavarian academy of for nature con conversa academy of for nature con conversa academy of for nature con conversa conservation and landscape management conservation and landscape management conservation and landscape management and it's funded by the eu and the title and it's funded by the eu and the title and it's funded by the eu and the title of our project is of our project is of our project is crew proclima cow for climate crew proclima cow for climate crew proclima cow for climate innovative strategies for resource innovative strategies for resource innovative strategies for resource saving and resilient grassland saving and resilient grassland saving and resilient grassland management management management and yeah we didn't want to waste time and yeah we didn't want to waste time and yeah we didn't want to waste time and and compare different grazing and and compare different grazing and and compare different grazing systems we really wanted to test systems we really wanted to test systems we really wanted to test new strategies and and and under the context of climate change under the context of climate change under the context of climate change so we packed the four strategies into so we packed the four strategies into so we packed the four strategies into the concept the concept the concept we already found helpful on our farm we already found helpful on our farm we already found helpful on our farm and then the question was and then the question was and then the question was do do do this this this combination does this combination work combination does this combination work combination does this combination work on other farms as well on other farms as well on other farms as well so the first so the first so the first task then was to provide more knowledge task then was to provide more knowledge task then was to provide more knowledge um through workshops about biodiversity um through workshops about biodiversity um through workshops about biodiversity and ecosystem functions and so on and ecosystem functions and so on and ecosystem functions and so on and and and at the same time the farmer at the same time the farmer at the same time the farmer learned how to use the holistic plant learned how to use the holistic plant learned how to use the holistic plant grazing concept and then grazing concept and then grazing concept and then and together with the farmers we and together with the farmers we and together with the farmers we developed individual and biodiversity developed individual and biodiversity developed individual and biodiversity concept concept concept so-called land planning so-called land planning so-called land planning for each farm for each farm for each farm and and and last but not least last but not least last but not least we focused on we focused on we focused on improving the soil through inoculation improving the soil through inoculation improving the soil through inoculation um yeah of um yeah of um yeah of self-produced compost extracts self-produced compost extracts self-produced compost extracts so and we also checked so and we also checked so and we also checked how um how um how um how the the farmers could adapt all how the the farmers could adapt all how the the farmers could adapt all these strategies in their system these strategies in their system these strategies in their system yeah as i explained before we want to yeah as i explained before we want to yeah as i explained before we want to understand better the why and how in our understand better the why and how in our understand better the why and how in our specific context and specific context and specific context and reality reality reality that's why on the one hand we are that's why on the one hand we are that's why on the one hand we are producing now uh seven case studies producing now uh seven case studies producing now uh seven case studies and on the other we gain quite a lot of and on the other we gain quite a lot of and on the other we gain quite a lot of informations on the test plots we informations on the test plots we informations on the test plots we implemented on each farms implemented on each farms implemented on each farms um where we compare and the grazing um where we compare and the grazing um where we compare and the grazing versus only cutting versus only cutting versus only cutting the grass plus additionally the the grass plus additionally the the grass plus additionally the application of compost extract application of compost extract application of compost extract versus a slurry so so so and um yeah we have tried to to record and um yeah we have tried to to record and um yeah we have tried to to record as much as possible as much as possible as much as possible with the capacities we had to get a with the capacities we had to get a with the capacities we had to get a better idea or a bigger picture from better idea or a bigger picture from better idea or a bigger picture from from all perspectives from all perspectives from all perspectives uh holistic research if you want uh holistic research if you want uh holistic research if you want so so so yeah we also wanted to get an idea for yeah we also wanted to get an idea for yeah we also wanted to get an idea for our future projects our future projects our future projects an idea an idea an idea what methods or tests are really useful what methods or tests are really useful what methods or tests are really useful for getting a better understanding of for getting a better understanding of for getting a better understanding of the functionality of the whole system the functionality of the whole system the functionality of the whole system for example when the best time is to for example when the best time is to for example when the best time is to analyze soil life just before or after analyze soil life just before or after analyze soil life just before or after grazing grazing grazing and and and as always we needed to need to know as always we needed to need to know as always we needed to need to know what method will give the farmer what method will give the farmer what method will give the farmer a useful and reliable insight without a useful and reliable insight without a useful and reliable insight without having having having many additional costs so in the first year so in the first year so in the first year we did a lot of workshops and we did a lot of workshops and we did a lot of workshops and a lot of public relations as well a lot of public relations as well a lot of public relations as well because we wanted to get more attention because we wanted to get more attention because we wanted to get more attention from the public to support our from the public to support our from the public to support our crowdfunding for the project we still crowdfunding for the project we still crowdfunding for the project we still need some money to fill the remaining need some money to fill the remaining need some money to fill the remaining gap so gap so gap so if you are interested to join the crowd if you are interested to join the crowd if you are interested to join the crowd i can put a link in the chat afterwards i can put a link in the chat afterwards i can put a link in the chat afterwards yeah the farmers had have or still have yeah the farmers had have or still have yeah the farmers had have or still have um quite a lot of documentation work to um quite a lot of documentation work to um quite a lot of documentation work to do do do that's why we use the maya grazing app that's why we use the maya grazing app that's why we use the maya grazing app from australia that's quite helpful and from australia that's quite helpful and from australia that's quite helpful and they help us they help us they help us um to evaluate the dates afterwards um to evaluate the dates afterwards um to evaluate the dates afterwards and abuse also this for the soil and abuse also this for the soil and abuse also this for the soil assessments assessments assessments and the soil mentor app and the soil mentor app and the soil mentor app maybe many of you maybe many of you maybe many of you might might might already know this app it's developed in already know this app it's developed in already know this app it's developed in the uk by the uk by the uk by reader cycle that's quite helpful to to reader cycle that's quite helpful to to reader cycle that's quite helpful to to collect all these data collect all these data collect all these data right on the field right on the field right on the field so and then we mapped so and then we mapped so and then we mapped the plants the plants the plants twice a year on the test plots quite twice a year on the test plots quite twice a year on the test plots quite closely but the same we did um on the closely but the same we did um on the closely but the same we did um on the whole farm as well whole farm as well whole farm as well but more random there it at least on the but more random there it at least on the but more random there it at least on the pastures which we were graced with the pastures which we were graced with the pastures which we were graced with the cowherds cowherds cowherds and and and we decided that it's important to look we decided that it's important to look we decided that it's important to look into the soil life network as well if into the soil life network as well if into the soil life network as well if there are all functional groups present there are all functional groups present there are all functional groups present at all times or to it at least to get an at all times or to it at least to get an at all times or to it at least to get an idea of the success succession idea of the success succession idea of the success succession and the f and the f and the f fungal bacteria ratio and even of the fungal bacteria ratio and even of the fungal bacteria ratio and even of the mycorrhization of the roots mycorrhization of the roots mycorrhization of the roots and we also and we also and we also um have to do now one more soil test um have to do now one more soil test um have to do now one more soil test trail this fall trail this fall trail this fall and yeah next year we will be able and yeah next year we will be able and yeah next year we will be able hopefully hopefully hopefully uh to present some more results uh to present some more results uh to present some more results um um um yeah yeah yeah and and and this year and the last year we had um this year and the last year we had um this year and the last year we had um three bachelor thesis in progress on three bachelor thesis in progress on three bachelor thesis in progress on different topics and currently there is different topics and currently there is different topics and currently there is a master thesis on the climate footprint a master thesis on the climate footprint a master thesis on the climate footprint um ongoing so and a lot of time we spent um ongoing so and a lot of time we spent um ongoing so and a lot of time we spent last year as well with the land planning last year as well with the land planning last year as well with the land planning to improve the cow habitat to improve the cow habitat to improve the cow habitat so to speak and the wildlife habitat as so to speak and the wildlife habitat as so to speak and the wildlife habitat as well well well um and and the meantime we discovered um and and the meantime we discovered um and and the meantime we discovered also that it's not so easy to plant also that it's not so easy to plant also that it's not so easy to plant trees and hedges on your own land in trees and hedges on your own land in trees and hedges on your own land in germany germany germany but that's really another story but that's really another story but that's really another story yeah and last but not least we conducted yeah and last but not least we conducted yeah and last but not least we conducted quite a lot of quite a lot of quite a lot of experiments with producing special experiments with producing special experiments with producing special fungal dominated composts which fungal dominated composts which fungal dominated composts which end with the production end with the production end with the production of compost extracts and even with of compost extracts and even with of compost extracts and even with developing useful equipment for the developing useful equipment for the developing useful equipment for the production and the application of the production and the application of the production and the application of the extract extract extract and we even did trails to figure out and we even did trails to figure out and we even did trails to figure out which compost extract application method which compost extract application method which compost extract application method gets the best response of soil life gets the best response of soil life gets the best response of soil life and yeah in the end everything we did will be published in our guide for will be published in our guide for will be published in our guide for improving ecosystems in grassland improving ecosystems in grassland improving ecosystems in grassland farms where we show the case study of farms where we show the case study of farms where we show the case study of each farm we are already busy with each farm we are already busy with each farm we are already busy with writing writing writing we started with the history of each farm we started with the history of each farm we started with the history of each farm the vision of the farm family their the vision of the farm family their the vision of the farm family their resources and strategies what they resources and strategies what they resources and strategies what they planned for planned for planned for how they manage their grazing each how they manage their grazing each how they manage their grazing each season season season we show the problems they had and the we show the problems they had and the we show the problems they had and the solutions they found solutions they found solutions they found their process of thinking their change their process of thinking their change their process of thinking their change of mindset if there was one of mindset if there was one of mindset if there was one and in the end what conclusion they got and in the end what conclusion they got and in the end what conclusion they got out of this project and how they want to out of this project and how they want to out of this project and how they want to proceed in future proceed in future proceed in future so that is so that is so that is one farm here and we are not finished one farm here and we are not finished one farm here and we are not finished yet there are at least yet there are at least yet there are at least five more pages five more pages five more pages coming there and coming there and coming there and yeah then we back all this up with our yeah then we back all this up with our yeah then we back all this up with our evaluation with the results and and evaluation with the results and and evaluation with the results and and conclusions of all the data we collected conclusions of all the data we collected conclusions of all the data we collected and in the end this guy will and in the end this guy will and in the end this guy will be be be available for free so available for free so available for free so everybody can download it from our everybody can download it from our everybody can download it from our website next year website next year website next year yeah some yeah some yeah some of our of our of our who proclaim our learning so far are who proclaim our learning so far are who proclaim our learning so far are that that that nature reacts fast especially if you do nature reacts fast especially if you do nature reacts fast especially if you do the right thing the right thing the right thing we discovered that the cow has an effect we discovered that the cow has an effect we discovered that the cow has an effect she promotes deep uh rooted grasses with she promotes deep uh rooted grasses with she promotes deep uh rooted grasses with this management this management this management there is um definitely a transition there is um definitely a transition there is um definitely a transition phase especially if you start with poor phase especially if you start with poor phase especially if you start with poor initial initial initial conditions conditions conditions and everybody really has to get used to and everybody really has to get used to and everybody really has to get used to the new behavior to the new planning the new behavior to the new planning the new behavior to the new planning the farmer the cow the plant the soil the farmer the cow the plant the soil the farmer the cow the plant the soil even the wildlife even the wildlife even the wildlife and this takes time and this takes time and this takes time um and then every year is different um and then every year is different um and then every year is different because of the weather because of the weather because of the weather and and and yeah in average we had the same amount yeah in average we had the same amount yeah in average we had the same amount of milk every year of milk every year of milk every year every farm that was quite stable every farm that was quite stable every farm that was quite stable and but everyone had more forage left and but everyone had more forage left and but everyone had more forage left for the winter although we could extend for the winter although we could extend for the winter although we could extend the grazing season a little bit um the grazing season a little bit um the grazing season a little bit um we learned that there is not much to we learned that there is not much to we learned that there is not much to compare in complex living systems compare in complex living systems compare in complex living systems except maybe except maybe except maybe um trends um trends um trends but you can show progress and but you can show progress and but you can show progress and you can look for patterns and that's you can look for patterns and that's you can look for patterns and that's what we do what we do what we do and the outcome however and the outcome however and the outcome however if there is an improvement or not if there is an improvement or not if there is an improvement or not depends really almost always depends really almost always depends really almost always um on the farmer on his mindset how much um on the farmer on his mindset how much um on the farmer on his mindset how much energy and time he is willing to invest energy and time he is willing to invest energy and time he is willing to invest especially especially especially in the thinking and planning process in the thinking and planning process in the thinking and planning process and his ability to adapt and his ability to adapt and his ability to adapt and knowledge definitely helps to change and knowledge definitely helps to change and knowledge definitely helps to change your mindset that's clear your mindset that's clear your mindset that's clear so and last but not least we figured out so and last but not least we figured out so and last but not least we figured out that we need better methods and that we need better methods and that we need better methods and protocols for the evaluation of living protocols for the evaluation of living protocols for the evaluation of living systems systems systems and yeah under on farm research and yeah under on farm research and yeah under on farm research conditions conditions conditions so um yeah we have we got some ideas and so um yeah we have we got some ideas and so um yeah we have we got some ideas and uh would like to improve that in the uh would like to improve that in the uh would like to improve that in the next project next project next project so what else we what did we see so what else we what did we see so what else we what did we see it's relatively easy to improve biomass it's relatively easy to improve biomass it's relatively easy to improve biomass in the first or even second year in the first or even second year in the first or even second year only with paying more attention to the only with paying more attention to the only with paying more attention to the grazing so that you don't over graze grazing so that you don't over graze grazing so that you don't over graze and and and and and and and and and and the lengthening of the recovery time and the lengthening of the recovery time and the lengthening of the recovery time hubs as well but then but then but then after that it gets a little bit more after that it gets a little bit more after that it gets a little bit more complex because you have to decide now complex because you have to decide now complex because you have to decide now how you want to proceed how you want to proceed how you want to proceed what what plans do you want to promote what what plans do you want to promote what what plans do you want to promote um and in this photo you see a pasture um and in this photo you see a pasture um and in this photo you see a pasture where the crisis clearly dominate but we where the crisis clearly dominate but we where the crisis clearly dominate but we still found 48 species in here this year still found 48 species in here this year still found 48 species in here this year like we did in the years before like we did in the years before like we did in the years before um but every year it takes longer to um but every year it takes longer to um but every year it takes longer to find them find them find them all because the grasses dominate more all because the grasses dominate more all because the grasses dominate more and more every year and more every year and more every year so this grazing system as i said the cow so this grazing system as i said the cow so this grazing system as i said the cow promotes the grasses so promotes the grasses so promotes the grasses so one solution that's our place here one one solution that's our place here one one solution that's our place here one solution could be if i want less glasses solution could be if i want less glasses solution could be if i want less glasses again again again um um um to leave um less biomass behind and let to leave um less biomass behind and let to leave um less biomass behind and let them graze it them graze it them graze it more down put a little bit put a little more down put a little bit put a little more down put a little bit put a little bit more stress in this plant community bit more stress in this plant community bit more stress in this plant community um and and try to get more dynamic into um and and try to get more dynamic into um and and try to get more dynamic into the system the system the system so the right decision could be for me so the right decision could be for me so the right decision could be for me next year next year next year um um um um to to get a little bit backwards in um to to get a little bit backwards in um to to get a little bit backwards in succession succession succession maybe i do this here maybe i do this here maybe i do this here because i want to have more clover more because i want to have more clover more because i want to have more clover more more forbs again here yeah what we saw on most farms um that yeah what we saw on most farms um that yeah what we saw on most farms um that having more roots means more having more roots means more having more roots means more soil life activity while the above soil life activity while the above soil life activity while the above ground life was ground life was ground life was was higher on the meager pastures like was higher on the meager pastures like was higher on the meager pastures like here here here with a higher plant by biodiversity with a higher plant by biodiversity with a higher plant by biodiversity and we saw as well that the cows and we saw as well that the cows and we saw as well that the cows especially our two-purpose breeds they especially our two-purpose breeds they especially our two-purpose breeds they thrive quite good on pastures with thrive quite good on pastures with thrive quite good on pastures with um less sports density and with meager um less sports density and with meager um less sports density and with meager plant plant plant communities um communities um communities um so so so with um yeah meager with um yeah meager with um yeah meager pastures pastures pastures so it's not always a good thing and to so it's not always a good thing and to so it's not always a good thing and to have access um to an abundance of food have access um to an abundance of food have access um to an abundance of food supply supply supply and you eat too much and you have to get and you eat too much and you have to get and you eat too much and you have to get rid of it which rid of it which rid of it which in turn costs energy again so the same in turn costs energy again so the same in turn costs energy again so the same goes for us and for the cow as well and we discovered that there is a good and we discovered that there is a good and we discovered that there is a good way way way um um um [Music] [Music] [Music] to figure out um if the to figure out um if the to figure out um if the the cow gets the right offer the cow gets the right offer the cow gets the right offer of of of forage so and we found this obstalim forage so and we found this obstalim forage so and we found this obstalim method our french veterinary developed method our french veterinary developed method our french veterinary developed this method this method this method and unfortunately we managed only this and unfortunately we managed only this and unfortunately we managed only this year to learn more about this method year to learn more about this method year to learn more about this method but but but you can get really a good and you can get really a good and you can get really a good and especially an immediate feedback of the especially an immediate feedback of the especially an immediate feedback of the condition of your pasture and your hurt condition of your pasture and your hurt condition of your pasture and your hurt and if you are able to read your cowherd and if you are able to read your cowherd and if you are able to read your cowherd with um different eyes so if you would with um different eyes so if you would with um different eyes so if you would like to learn more about this like to learn more about this like to learn more about this method you can look it up um on method you can look it up um on method you can look it up um on opsalim.com opsalim.com opsalim.com and it's available in english as well so so so our conclusion so far is that our conclusion so far is that our conclusion so far is that well we think we are absolutely on the well we think we are absolutely on the well we think we are absolutely on the right track right track right track if we want to survive in the long term if we want to survive in the long term if we want to survive in the long term on this planet on this planet on this planet we have to find our way back to nature we have to find our way back to nature we have to find our way back to nature somehow so we definitely gained a lot of somehow so we definitely gained a lot of somehow so we definitely gained a lot of experience in on-farm research and i experience in on-farm research and i experience in on-farm research and i completely understand now why scientists completely understand now why scientists completely understand now why scientists prefer prefer prefer controlled traits controlled traits controlled traits under lab conditions under lab conditions under lab conditions um it was not easy to coordinate um it was not easy to coordinate um it was not easy to coordinate everything especially everything especially everything especially um with the corona um with the corona um with the corona was was was a problem as well a problem as well a problem as well but but but i think we we i think we we i think we we made it somehow made it somehow made it somehow but we definitely need more knowledge but we definitely need more knowledge but we definitely need more knowledge about the missing links we we have about the missing links we we have about the missing links we we have together um more information together um more information together um more information test it and and work with that otherwise test it and and work with that otherwise test it and and work with that otherwise we won't be able to bridge the gap we won't be able to bridge the gap we won't be able to bridge the gap between between between agriculture and nature agriculture and nature agriculture and nature and therefore we need more case studies and therefore we need more case studies and therefore we need more case studies and at the same time and at the same time and at the same time more in-depth research on specific more in-depth research on specific more in-depth research on specific issues issues issues but definitely or hopefully always but definitely or hopefully always but definitely or hopefully always in collaboration with us farmers in collaboration with us farmers in collaboration with us farmers so the project so the project so the project officially will end next year in march officially will end next year in march officially will end next year in march but um because of the carbon but um because of the carbon but um because of the carbon measurements which will be done again by measurements which will be done again by measurements which will be done again by the theo munich the theo munich the theo munich we will extend it for another three we will extend it for another three we will extend it for another three months months months and and and and yeah well the next ep activity and yeah well the next ep activity and yeah well the next ep activity project is already in the starting project is already in the starting project is already in the starting blocks we want to launch a special blocks we want to launch a special blocks we want to launch a special project that project that project that um we called an um we called an um we called an uh regenerative agriculture mentorship uh regenerative agriculture mentorship uh regenerative agriculture mentorship network program network program network program and next week and next week and next week is the deadline for the application is the deadline for the application is the deadline for the application so so so we hope we will we hope we will we hope we will made it make it made it make it made it make it so and there are already um ideas for so and there are already um ideas for so and there are already um ideas for four more projects which would allow us four more projects which would allow us four more projects which would allow us to go a little bit deeper in the to go a little bit deeper in the to go a little bit deeper in the specific areas and that's why we decided specific areas and that's why we decided specific areas and that's why we decided this year this year this year to find to find to find a limited cooperation to structure and a limited cooperation to structure and a limited cooperation to structure and to organize ourselves to organize ourselves to organize ourselves in a different way in a different way in a different way that i think will give us the that i think will give us the that i think will give us the possibility possibility possibility um to work more um to work more um to work more with more partners more scientific with more partners more scientific with more partners more scientific partners from different disciplines and partners from different disciplines and partners from different disciplines and and and we can use different funding and and we can use different funding and and we can use different funding programs as well programs as well programs as well so and hopefully we get some more so and hopefully we get some more so and hopefully we get some more funding through funding through funding through more donors and sponsors more donors and sponsors more donors and sponsors yeah that's it for yeah that's it for yeah that's it for for now i thank you for listening for now i thank you for listening for now i thank you for listening yeah i did my best with my english yeah i did my best with my english yeah i did my best with my english and if you have questions and if you have questions and if you have questions just ask thank you christine uh that was very thank you christine uh that was very thank you christine uh that was very interesting i've been taking notes as interesting i've been taking notes as interesting i've been taking notes as well well well and um and um and um i see there are already some questions i see there are already some questions i see there are already some questions um um um let's see i'll start with uh the first let's see i'll start with uh the first let's see i'll start with uh the first question i take it comes from bill question i take it comes from bill question i take it comes from bill grayson a farmer in the in england grayson a farmer in the in england grayson a farmer in the in england and he asks um how and he asks um how and he asks um how how do you monitor the numbers of plant how do you monitor the numbers of plant how do you monitor the numbers of plant species species species is the total count per field is the total count per field is the total count per field or do you use quadrants or do you use quadrants or do you use quadrants to assess relative abundance to assess relative abundance to assess relative abundance and how do you measure fungal bacteria and how do you measure fungal bacteria and how do you measure fungal bacteria ratio ratio ratio so so so these are technical questions but i these are technical questions but i these are technical questions but i think quite important to understand how think quite important to understand how think quite important to understand how how your project actually uh how your project actually uh how your project actually uh works and a certain interest to anybody works and a certain interest to anybody works and a certain interest to anybody wanting to try some something similar wanting to try some something similar wanting to try some something similar so is the question clear christine do so is the question clear christine do so is the question clear christine do you want me to repeat it yes well the um you want me to repeat it yes well the um you want me to repeat it yes well the um franzihanko is doing this and the plant franzihanko is doing this and the plant franzihanko is doing this and the plant parts and she's using the brown plunkey parts and she's using the brown plunkey parts and she's using the brown plunkey method method method on each test plot on each test plot on each test plot and but she also and but she also and but she also goes um around and um goes um around and um goes um around and um while she counts the while she counts the while she counts the um um um the species yeah the species yeah the species yeah and um and um and um she has different um uh how to say this in in english uh how to say this in in english uh how to say this in in english you could say it in german we could try you could say it in german we could try you could say it in german we could try to translate [Music] okay [Music] [Music] so then using the brown plank a method so then using the brown plank a method so then using the brown plank a method and and and um and they uh this yields um and they uh this yields um and they uh this yields tables in which you can see the tables in which you can see the tables in which you can see the relationship relationship relationship between the different uh species is that between the different uh species is that between the different uh species is that right right right yeah yeah but you will see in in march okay okay okay and for the soil life we have a and for the soil life we have a and for the soil life we have a scientist here he's looking through a scientist here he's looking through a scientist here he's looking through a microscope and he's counting um microscope and he's counting um microscope and he's counting um many samples many samples many samples and he uses the method and he uses the method and he uses the method or an adapted method of um elaine ingham or an adapted method of um elaine ingham or an adapted method of um elaine ingham where he's counting where he's counting where he's counting every um sample every um sample every um sample five five five five five five times of each sample it's very times of each sample it's very times of each sample it's very complicated takes a long time complicated takes a long time complicated takes a long time and and he has a protocol where he can and and he has a protocol where he can and and he has a protocol where he can see how the ratio is and um see how the ratio is and um see how the ratio is and um and and and and the other network and the other network and the other network species species species if they are there or not they are not if they are there or not they are not if they are there or not they are not always there always there always there not everybody is there all the time not everybody is there all the time not everybody is there all the time and they what we see they are we they and they what we see they are we they and they what we see they are we they are reacting reacting to the influence are reacting reacting to the influence are reacting reacting to the influence of the cow so it's a different of the cow so it's a different of the cow so it's a different if you take the sample before grazing or if you take the sample before grazing or if you take the sample before grazing or after grazing somehow and the weather is after grazing somehow and the weather is after grazing somehow and the weather is influencing as well so it's very influencing as well so it's very influencing as well so it's very difficult difficult difficult um um um to get um to get um to get um yeah um conclusions out of it we really yeah um conclusions out of it we really yeah um conclusions out of it we really would like to do it over a longer period would like to do it over a longer period would like to do it over a longer period now now now and to see and to see and to see where it's really going and how we can where it's really going and how we can where it's really going and how we can influence it influence it influence it or how we do influence it or how we do influence it or how we do influence it with our management and the fungal bacteria and the fungal bacteria and the fungal bacteria yeah yeah yeah it's it's um it's it's um it's it's um the ratio is quite important um and it's the ratio is quite important um and it's the ratio is quite important um and it's it's changing over the time um if you go it's changing over the time um if you go it's changing over the time um if you go from the wheat to the from the wheat to the from the wheat to the more more more to the deeper root grasses and um to the deeper root grasses and um to the deeper root grasses and um when you get more when you get more when you get more um deeper rooted plants into the system um deeper rooted plants into the system um deeper rooted plants into the system it's changing a little bit and if it's changing a little bit and if it's changing a little bit and if when your soil is improving when your soil is improving when your soil is improving as well okay we have another question from okay we have another question from okay we have another question from carolina harvey carolina harvey carolina harvey and her question is with holistic plant and her question is with holistic plant and her question is with holistic plant grazing how do you determine store stock grazing how do you determine store stock grazing how do you determine store stock sizes and optimal grazing densities at sizes and optimal grazing densities at sizes and optimal grazing densities at your farm your farm your farm yeah that's the art of this yeah that's the art of this yeah that's the art of this you um yeah you have you um yeah you have you um yeah you have the main thing is you have to go outside the main thing is you have to go outside the main thing is you have to go outside and you have to look every day and you have to look every day and you have to look every day at least twice get an idea of at least twice get an idea of at least twice get an idea of of the pulse of your land how of the pulse of your land how of the pulse of your land how is is is the the the how high is the forage how how dense is how high is the forage how how dense is how high is the forage how how dense is it how what kind of species are there it how what kind of species are there it how what kind of species are there and then on the other hand and then on the other hand and then on the other hand you look on your herd you look on your herd you look on your herd what what does your herd need do i have what what does your herd need do i have what what does your herd need do i have the dairy cows or the young ones the the dairy cows or the young ones the the dairy cows or the young ones the cattle and they have a different cattle and they have a different cattle and they have a different they require different they require different they require different um um um amount of amount of amount of and and and a different quality of the forage and a different quality of the forage and a different quality of the forage and then you go out and decide what how much then you go out and decide what how much then you go out and decide what how much do i want to do i want to do i want to leave behind leave behind leave behind what time of the year it is what time of the year it is what time of the year it is and then you and is it growing back fast and then you and is it growing back fast and then you and is it growing back fast or not so and then i decide how much or not so and then i decide how much or not so and then i decide how much space i will give them how how i plan space i will give them how how i plan space i will give them how how i plan this this this because i want to have this effect or because i want to have this effect or because i want to have this effect or that effect that effect that effect when i use more density or less density when i use more density or less density when i use more density or less density it depends so it depends so it depends so i can't i can't i can't give you a recipe give you a recipe give you a recipe nobody really can nobody really can nobody really can um um um but but but that's why it's so important to that's why it's so important to that's why it's so important to understand um the principles behind it understand um the principles behind it understand um the principles behind it and and you have to have a clear picture and and you have to have a clear picture and and you have to have a clear picture um what you want to see what you want to um what you want to see what you want to um what you want to see what you want to improve okay and then and now i have a question okay and then and now i have a question okay and then and now i have a question from there's a quite a few questions from there's a quite a few questions from there's a quite a few questions actually i'll try to get through them actually i'll try to get through them actually i'll try to get through them and and try to group them a bit by a and and try to group them a bit by a and and try to group them a bit by a theme theme theme and this one also follows on um and this one also follows on um and this one also follows on um it's from christian bolgan and his it's from christian bolgan and his it's from

project with this depth in the next project with this depth in the next project with this obsolete method obsolete method obsolete method to get an idea um to get an idea um to get an idea um to correlate this what we observe at our to correlate this what we observe at our to correlate this what we observe at our heart with the plants heart with the plants heart with the plants so um yeah i think that's so um yeah i think that's so um yeah i think that's that's the that's the that's the really essential really essential really essential and to to and to to and to to see the progress in your soil well see the progress in your soil well see the progress in your soil well we have to look at the roots we have to look at the roots we have to look at the roots the roots and maybe the aggregates but the roots and maybe the aggregates but the roots and maybe the aggregates but the roots we all were always neglected the roots we all were always neglected the roots we all were always neglected and they are so important you don't get and they are so important you don't get and they are so important you don't get carbon or anything if you don't um carbon or anything if you don't um carbon or anything if you don't um have roots in your system and that's why have roots in your system and that's why have roots in your system and that's why this holistic clan grazing this holistic clan grazing this holistic clan grazing is so helpful because it helps you is so helpful because it helps you is so helpful because it helps you to it helps the plant as well to it helps the plant as well to it helps the plant as well and to get and to get and to get more root development and more root development and more root development and we have to figure out we have to figure out we have to figure out um um um that we get the timing right there that we get the timing right there that we get the timing right there but i think you don't need a lot of but i think you don't need a lot of but i think you don't need a lot of tools tools tools um um um to get along you have to have to get along you have to have to get along you have to have your eyes and you have to do it you have your eyes and you have to do it you have your eyes and you have to do it you have to have to have practice and try to read to have to have practice and try to read to have to have practice and try to read your blend and your blend and your blend and get the whole picture get the whole picture get the whole picture yeah because every every 10 meters it's yeah because every every 10 meters it's yeah because every every 10 meters it's different anyway so different anyway so different anyway so i have we have i have we have i have we have at least three or four different at least three or four different at least three or four different zones well we have a completely zones well we have a completely zones well we have a completely different plant species plant community different plant species plant community different plant species plant community different soil type and it's you have to different soil type and it's you have to different soil type and it's you have to manage everything manage everything manage everything different to improve your land and it's very to improve your land and it's very to improve your land and it's very helpful in in the end helpful in in the end helpful in in the end to to to let to to to let to to to let give space give space give space so that nature so that nature so that nature knows best anyway and knows best anyway and knows best anyway and what she's doing with that so if there what she's doing with that so if there what she's doing with that so if there are are are different plant species new plant different plant species new plant different plant species new plant species coming maybe it makes sense species coming maybe it makes sense species coming maybe it makes sense and maybe we have to help them to and maybe we have to help them to and maybe we have to help them to develop develop develop further further further in their succession okay and now i have a question another okay and now i have a question another okay and now i have a question another question which is about um question which is about um question which is about um the if you like the status quo enter the if you like the status quo enter the if you like the status quo enter which is about the question is how much which is about the question is how much which is about the question is how much fertilizer were you using before you fertilizer were you using before you fertilizer were you using before you started this holistic plant started this holistic plant started this holistic plant grazing and how much herbicides were you grazing and how much herbicides were you grazing and how much herbicides were you using before using before using before and um and um and um that also brings me to to a question that also brings me to to a question that also brings me to to a question that i that intrigued me that i that intrigued me that i that intrigued me you said at the beginning of your you said at the beginning of your you said at the beginning of your presentation you said that the cows presentation you said that the cows presentation you said that the cows instinctively know instinctively know instinctively know um how to work with nature to put it um how to work with nature to put it um how to work with nature to put it that way that way that way uh but it can also destroy nature if we uh but it can also destroy nature if we uh but it can also destroy nature if we the farmers don't let her do her work the farmers don't let her do her work the farmers don't let her do her work properly now what did you mean by that properly now what did you mean by that properly now what did you mean by that why how does a farmer not why how does a farmer not why how does a farmer not let her where a cow do her work properly let her where a cow do her work properly let her where a cow do her work properly so those two questions what's how much so those two questions what's how much so those two questions what's how much fertilized herbicides etc were using fertilized herbicides etc were using fertilized herbicides etc were using before before before and uh what do you mean by um not and uh what do you mean by um not and uh what do you mean by um not letting a cow do her work properly letting a cow do her work properly letting a cow do her work properly as all we as all we as all we we never used herbicides never we never used herbicides never we never used herbicides never and um we stopped putting out um slurry and um we stopped putting out um slurry and um we stopped putting out um slurry or liquid manure in 2012 or liquid manure in 2012 or liquid manure in 2012 um and um and um and then we really then we really then we really went went went worse with our nitrogen worse with our nitrogen worse with our nitrogen and and and and then we started um with the holistic and then we started um with the holistic and then we started um with the holistic management and additionally we management and additionally we management and additionally we put out some compost but not every year put out some compost but not every year put out some compost but not every year and not as a fertilizer we only use a and not as a fertilizer we only use a and not as a fertilizer we only use a little bit little bit little bit and not every year so it's more an and not every year so it's more an and not every year so it's more an inoculation inoculation inoculation of of the system of of the system of of the system and and when you put some more and and when you put some more and and when you put some more workers out there you have to provide workers out there you have to provide workers out there you have to provide some shelter habitat and food for them some shelter habitat and food for them some shelter habitat and food for them and and and and this holistic management system and this holistic management system and this holistic management system helps the microbiome on in the ground to helps the microbiome on in the ground to helps the microbiome on in the ground to to to to to thrive to thrive to thrive so it's it wasn't that so it's it wasn't that so it's it wasn't that difficult anymore um and we had less difficult anymore um and we had less difficult anymore um and we had less work work work and and and yeah that was one thing and then when yeah that was one thing and then when yeah that was one thing and then when your soil is improving you get different your soil is improving you get different your soil is improving you get different plant species it just is developing like that it just is developing like that it just is developing like that so you just have to wait and look and so you just have to wait and look and so you just have to wait and look and and manage a little bit and manage a little bit and manage a little bit so so so you you that's why i showed the the you you that's why i showed the the you you that's why i showed the the pictures pictures pictures we we had cows we always had cows here we we had cows we always had cows here we we had cows we always had cows here on this farm dairy cows on this farm dairy cows on this farm dairy cows but but but they couldn't do it really because we they couldn't do it really because we they couldn't do it really because we we managed them not correctly we over we managed them not correctly we over we managed them not correctly we over grazed all the time because we kept them grazed all the time because we kept them grazed all the time because we kept them on the same spot too long on the same spot too long on the same spot too long and they came back too early and they and they came back too early and they and they came back too early and they stayed too long and this we didn't stayed too long and this we didn't stayed too long and this we didn't really really really um yeah um yeah um yeah manage it right so the soil and manage it right so the soil and manage it right so the soil and everything got worse and we had to put everything got worse and we had to put everything got worse and we had to put in more energy in the system in more energy in the system in more energy in the system to keep it somehow stable or growing to keep it somehow stable or growing to keep it somehow stable or growing and and then we did the other way so we and and then we did the other way so we and and then we did the other way so we we had less animals and we did less we had less animals and we did less we had less animals and we did less impact and less impact and less impact and less there was less um cycling there there was less um cycling there there was less um cycling there happening and it wasn't good either happening and it wasn't good either happening and it wasn't good either so so so um um um less less less doing less is not not helping as well doing less is not not helping as well doing less is not not helping as well well that's what we found out so it's well that's what we found out so it's well that's what we found out so it's it's very important it's very important it's very important to to to to to to to do everything to do everything to do everything and about to different to the right time and about to different to the right time and about to different to the right time that's really the important the trick that's really the important the trick that's really the important the trick behind everything so it's it's important behind everything so it's it's important behind everything so it's it's important to to put on more density to stress a to to put on more density to stress a to to put on more density to stress a plant sometimes or even a soil you could plant sometimes or even a soil you could plant sometimes or even a soil you could get a different feedback get a different feedback get a different feedback and that makes your system more and that makes your system more and that makes your system more resilient and your cow as well it's not resilient and your cow as well it's not resilient and your cow as well it's not always good always good always good that you feed your cow till she can't that you feed your cow till she can't that you feed your cow till she can't move anymore because she has to get rid move anymore because she has to get rid move anymore because she has to get rid of all the of all the of all the over over over loads loads loads and and the microbiome in and and the microbiome in and and the microbiome in of the cow has a problem like um with of the cow has a problem like um with of the cow has a problem like um with the soil if you put on too much biomass the soil if you put on too much biomass the soil if you put on too much biomass will leave you too much biomass behind will leave you too much biomass behind will leave you too much biomass behind and you have a poor soil life and no and you have a poor soil life and no and you have a poor soil life and no moisture it just stays there and what's moisture it just stays there and what's moisture it just stays there and what's there and oxidizes into the atmosphere there and oxidizes into the atmosphere there and oxidizes into the atmosphere so so so you have to look what's needed how much you have to look what's needed how much you have to look what's needed how much and and and don't do everything at at at the same don't do everything at at at the same don't do everything at at at the same time time time but you have to to to have a plan and a but you have to to to have a plan and a but you have to to to have a plan and a goal and then you have to try and then goal and then you have to try and then goal and then you have to try and then you have to practice good and now we have a question from good and now we have a question from good and now we have a question from kiriakos skardas in greece kiriakos skardas in greece kiriakos skardas in greece again i thank you for your presentation again i thank you for your presentation again i thank you for your presentation you're getting lots of thank you sir you're getting lots of thank you sir you're getting lots of thank you sir christine christine christine um do you see or predict um do you see or predict um do you see or predict any competition with wildlife and any competition with wildlife and any competition with wildlife and particularly uh deer particularly uh deer particularly uh deer after a successful restoration after a successful restoration after a successful restoration and uh if there is do you think there and uh if there is do you think there and uh if there is do you think there could be or would be a compatible could be or would be a compatible could be or would be a compatible management well well well it's a little bit problematic with deer it's a little bit problematic with deer it's a little bit problematic with deer here because in this here because in this here because in this um um um community community community they have um to shoot a lot of deer they have um to shoot a lot of deer they have um to shoot a lot of deer every year every year every year and but what we observe because we have and but what we observe because we have and but what we observe because we have three hectares of forest as well three hectares of forest as well three hectares of forest as well and we try to use it with our cattle um and we try to use it with our cattle um and we try to use it with our cattle um as well but it's not allowed in germany as well but it's not allowed in germany as well but it's not allowed in germany nothing is allowed nothing is allowed nothing is allowed but we can't believe that um but we can't believe that um but we can't believe that um the deer is grazing as well the deer is grazing as well the deer is grazing as well and they they're not um and they they're not um and they they're not um affecting the trees so much because they affecting the trees so much because they affecting the trees so much because they have enough porridge and we also have enough porridge and we also have enough porridge and we also see now see now see now every every every winter or even um in spring games i winter or even um in spring games i winter or even um in spring games i don't know the english words don't know the english words don't know the english words yep any gums yep any gums yep any gums or games no no no sorry that's uh it's a deer that looks high up in the it's a deer that looks high up in the it's a deer that looks high up in the mountain yeah mountain yeah mountain yeah yeah so they come back now yeah so they come back now yeah so they come back now and and and a very good cooperation we have with a very good cooperation we have with a very good cooperation we have with with ducks with ducks with ducks the ducks the animal lives under the ducks the animal lives under the ducks the animal lives under underground which what is the name of underground which what is the name of underground which what is the name of the ducks big big big they belong to the beer the big they belong to the beer the big they belong to the beer the big um um um size like a half for me 80 centimeters size like a half for me 80 centimeters size like a half for me 80 centimeters maybe maybe maybe i have to look it up and we have a cooperation with them and we have a cooperation with them and we have a cooperation with them because um they live there in one edge because um they live there in one edge because um they live there in one edge of our land and they are allowed to stay of our land and they are allowed to stay of our land and they are allowed to stay there and make big huge holes there and make big huge holes there and make big huge holes but um but um but um they come and go to the pasture three or they come and go to the pasture three or they come and go to the pasture three or four weeks after the cows have been four weeks after the cows have been four weeks after the cows have been there and then they remove the there and then they remove the there and then they remove the the heart plates of the cow pets the heart plates of the cow pets the heart plates of the cow pets and break them up and they look for the and break them up and they look for the and break them up and they look for the worms and worms and worms and through this we really can go out and through this we really can go out and through this we really can go out and mow the field the next time after mow the field the next time after mow the field the next time after already six weeks and we have no already six weeks and we have no already six weeks and we have no um um um manure in in the hay so we we try and to live more with the so we we try and to live more with the so we we try and to live more with the wildlife so we provide more hatchets now wildlife so we provide more hatchets now wildlife so we provide more hatchets now and habitat and try and habitat and try and habitat and try to work together well we have more i think we go we're well we have more i think we go we're well we have more i think we go we're having more questions than time even having more questions than time even having more questions than time even let's see if i can some group um let's see if i can some group um let's see if i can some group um some um some um some um well a very quick question why is well a very quick question why is well a very quick question why is grazing of woodlands forbidden in grazing of woodlands forbidden in grazing of woodlands forbidden in germany uh that's so where you in the germany uh that's so where you in the germany uh that's so where you in the meantime i'll look at the other meantime i'll look at the other meantime i'll look at the other questions questions questions but in the middle ages they but in the middle ages they but in the middle ages they overdone this they or everybody put the overdone this they or everybody put the overdone this they or everybody put the kettle in the forest so that they have kettle in the forest so that they have kettle in the forest so that they have more more more more more more space for for crops i don't know space for for crops i don't know space for for crops i don't know and they they destroyed a lot of wood and they they destroyed a lot of wood and they they destroyed a lot of wood land land land and then there was a law and then there was a law and then there was a law and to to um and to to um and to to um to stop this to stop this to stop this and since that um the forest department and since that um the forest department and since that um the forest department says says says well it's not possible anymore so if you well it's not possible anymore so if you well it's not possible anymore so if you have an old right to do this have an old right to do this have an old right to do this um you can um you can um you can but but but um um um normally you are not allowed even if normally you are not allowed even if normally you are not allowed even if it's your own forest it's your own forest it's your own forest right right right okay um well here's to two questions okay um well here's to two questions okay um well here's to two questions which can kind of be grouped together um which can kind of be grouped together um which can kind of be grouped together um how has the number of cows on your farm how has the number of cows on your farm how has the number of cows on your farm changed as you move to holistic grazing changed as you move to holistic grazing changed as you move to holistic grazing and have you done any re-seeding of old and have you done any re-seeding of old and have you done any re-seeding of old pastures to get a mix of species you pastures to get a mix of species you pastures to get a mix of species you think is more desirable or is it all think is more desirable or is it all think is more desirable or is it all semi-natural semi-natural semi-natural we did no receding never and you don't we did no receding never and you don't we did no receding never and you don't have to have to have to because you always have different stages because you always have different stages because you always have different stages of growth and some are of growth and some are of growth and some are have seats then and some not you you can have seats then and some not you you can have seats then and some not you you can manage this and there's an a lot a big manage this and there's an a lot a big manage this and there's an a lot a big huge seed bank huge seed bank huge seed bank um in the ground so it's you they just um in the ground so it's you they just um in the ground so it's you they just sit there and wait till the time is sit there and wait till the time is sit there and wait till the time is right or the conditions are right and right or the conditions are right and right or the conditions are right and then they are coming then they are coming then they are coming um um um and you can really influence and you can really influence and you can really influence things things things with a little bit of compost so usually with a little bit of compost so usually with a little bit of compost so usually um you get more clover especially red um you get more clover especially red um you get more clover especially red clover if you have a little bit of good clover if you have a little bit of good clover if you have a little bit of good compost we only need compost we only need compost we only need about three tons per hectare about three tons per hectare about three tons per hectare just to just to just to to give it a little bit of to give it a little bit of to give it a little bit of input input input and and and what was the other question the other question was um how has the the other question was um how has the the other question was um how has the number of cows changed okay number of cows changed okay number of cows changed okay grazing yes well we we grazing yes well we we grazing yes well we we doubled our number now on our doubled our number now on our doubled our number now on our farm farm farm and we need and we need and we need more animals during the summer because more animals during the summer because more animals during the summer because it's it's it's like this year it's like this year it's like this year it's um um um yeah it's yeah it's yeah it's two two two two two two units per hectare in average but in the units per hectare in average but in the units per hectare in average but in the winter time we have a lot of snow we we winter time we have a lot of snow we we winter time we have a lot of snow we we have to de-stock quite um fast now and have to de-stock quite um fast now and have to de-stock quite um fast now and that's a little bit of a problem because that's a little bit of a problem because that's a little bit of a problem because we we are um selling and we are doing we we are um selling and we are doing we we are um selling and we are doing this direct marketing on ourselves so to this direct marketing on ourselves so to this direct marketing on ourselves so to get the best price get the best price get the best price and it's not so easy to get and it's not so easy to get and it's not so easy to get um to sell all animals in in autumn or um to sell all animals in in autumn or um to sell all animals in in autumn or winter so winter so winter so yeah yeah yeah um that's a problem at the moment um that's a problem at the moment um that's a problem at the moment it's a new problem it's a new problem it's a new problem um and especially now because the um and especially now because the um and especially now because the the people are saving um the people are saving um the people are saving um their money because of the high energy their money because of the high energy their money because of the high energy prices and they stop eating prices and they stop eating prices and they stop eating meat or not stop but they less meat they meat or not stop but they less meat they meat or not stop but they less meat they invest less money invest less money invest less money but it will go away as well so and and but it will go away as well so and and but it will go away as well so and and it's very important it's very important it's very important you you get you you get you you get if you have more if you have more if you have more animals you get a animals you get a animals you get a faster feedback and faster feedback and faster feedback and you you reach your goals faster you you reach your goals faster you you reach your goals faster but you really have to manage this but you really have to manage this but you really have to manage this correctly and now a question from ivana salehnek i and now a question from ivana salehnek i and now a question from ivana salehnek i hope i hope by pronouncing it right from hope i hope by pronouncing it right from hope i hope by pronouncing it right from croatia croatia croatia and she is was very keen very happy with and she is was very keen very happy with and she is was very keen very happy with your your your with your presentation and is looking with your presentation and is looking with your presentation and is looking forward to see the guide forward to see the guide forward to see the guide when next year will it be published or when next year will it be published or when next year will it be published or online online online yeah in march chat look on yeah in march chat look on yeah in march chat look on www.cuproclima.de good good good and then another question from bill and then another question from bill and then another question from bill grayson in the uk grayson in the uk grayson in the uk um um um he's asking well two things actually he's asking well two things actually he's asking well two things actually they kind of fit together on the one they kind of fit together on the one they kind of fit together on the one hand it's how do you market your milk hand it's how do you market your milk hand it's how do you market your milk and that that and that that and that that and the other question is uh where did and the other question is uh where did and the other question is uh where did the get where is the funding for your the get where is the funding for your the get where is the funding for your project because the the study is very project because the the study is very project because the the study is very detailed so it must have cost a lot of detailed so it must have cost a lot of detailed so it must have cost a lot of money so where does that funding come money so where does that funding come money so where does that funding come from from from yeah from the eu and the state of yeah from the eu and the state of yeah from the eu and the state of bavaria bavaria bavaria um but they only pay 80 percent um but they only pay 80 percent um but they only pay 80 percent so so so um yeah um yeah um yeah what about the crowdfunding that was yes what about the crowdfunding that was yes what about the crowdfunding that was yes we uh well we get a lot of um smaller um well we get a lot of um smaller um well we get a lot of um smaller um and donations and um one foundation was and donations and um one foundation was and donations and um one foundation was giving us a lot of money or more money giving us a lot of money or more money giving us a lot of money or more money so we now we have half the money we so we now we have half the money we so we now we have half the money we actually need actually need actually need so i'm still trying so i'm still trying so i'm still trying to find uh sponsors for for this project to find uh sponsors for for this project to find uh sponsors for for this project and we already and we already and we already um try to find money for the next um try to find money for the next um try to find money for the next but i mean i'm interested personally i but i mean i'm interested personally i but i mean i'm interested personally i mean crowdfunding is very unusual in the mean crowdfunding is very unusual in the mean crowdfunding is very unusual in the context yeah we do context yeah we do context yeah we do um how did you organize crowdfunding how um how did you organize crowdfunding how um how did you organize crowdfunding how do you reach people like in your do you reach people like in your do you reach people like in your district who are your neighbors or district who are your neighbors or district who are your neighbors or people in where you live yeah we used people in where you live yeah we used people in where you live yeah we used our networks we already had and but we our networks we already had and but we our networks we already had and but we wrote a lot as we we communicated a lot wrote a lot as we we communicated a lot wrote a lot as we we communicated a lot through through through press press press and recently there was an article in the and recently there was an article in the and recently there was an article in the text a bigger newspaper text a bigger newspaper text a bigger newspaper and that gave us already the next day we and that gave us already the next day we and that gave us already the next day we had three and a half thousand euros just had three and a half thousand euros just had three and a half thousand euros just after one article after one article after one article so that helps but the beginning was so that helps but the beginning was so that helps but the beginning was quite difficult because quite difficult because quite difficult because even 2019 we had to explain what we had even 2019 we had to explain what we had even 2019 we had to explain what we had to explain what regenerative agriculture to explain what regenerative agriculture to explain what regenerative agriculture is is is um in the department of agriculture they um in the department of agriculture they um in the department of agriculture they didn't know about this and and why the didn't know about this and and why the didn't know about this and and why the cow can do something good for climate so cow can do something good for climate so cow can do something good for climate so it was quite difficult to explain it it was quite difficult to explain it it was quite difficult to explain it because the people knew the the because the people knew the the because the people knew the the that the cow is bad that the cow is bad that the cow is bad so but it's changing now and the press so but it's changing now and the press so but it's changing now and the press is is is writing differently now writing differently now writing differently now more reflected and we try more reflected and we try more reflected and we try what we really try to do what we really try to do what we really try to do very hard is to to tell a new story very hard is to to tell a new story very hard is to to tell a new story about the cow about the cow about the cow about what she really can do that's about what she really can do that's about what she really can do that's why we are so why we are so why we are so yeah yeah we go to schools yeah yeah we go to schools yeah yeah we go to schools and and and and and and do presentations there and we discovered do presentations there and we discovered do presentations there and we discovered that um the the school of agriculture that um the the school of agriculture that um the the school of agriculture they have um they have um they have um they're under standard of 1995 they're under standard of 1995 they're under standard of 1995 so they don't know anything about crazy so they don't know anything about crazy so they don't know anything about crazy um um um it's really difficult but we see all it's really difficult but we see all it's really difficult but we see all these gaps now and we that's why we want these gaps now and we that's why we want these gaps now and we that's why we want to do our company to do our company to do our company and and provide and in different um and and provide and in different um and and provide and in different um areas areas areas and we want to fill in the and we want to fill in the and we want to fill in the the the the gaps gaps gaps and if if somebody is interested in and if if somebody is interested in and if if somebody is interested in in joining us because we want to stay on in joining us because we want to stay on in joining us because we want to stay on on the europe level on the europe level on the europe level one portug a guy from portugal is one portug a guy from portugal is one portug a guy from portugal is already there and already there and already there and more are coming so more are coming so more are coming so maybe maybe maybe just just just contact me and we i collect contact me and we i collect contact me and we i collect the good people and the interested the good people and the interested the good people and the interested people people people and and maybe and and maybe and and maybe if there's a new project and and the if there's a new project and and the if there's a new project and and the horizon we can join horizon we can join horizon we can join forces forces forces and the other question was about how you and the other question was about how you and the other question was about how you market your milk market your milk market your milk ah yeah ah yeah ah yeah at the moment um we are at the moment um we are at the moment um we are but not at the moment we deliver this on but not at the moment we deliver this on but not at the moment we deliver this on the uh to a cheesery the uh to a cheesery the uh to a cheesery not far away not far away not far away so so so that's why we get quite a good of a good that's why we get quite a good of a good that's why we get quite a good of a good price and because it's um without silage price and because it's um without silage price and because it's um without silage only hay in the winter only hay in the winter only hay in the winter but now but now but now our life changed here with the company our life changed here with the company our life changed here with the company and the project and and the project and and the project and and now we decide maybe that we stopped and now we decide maybe that we stopped and now we decide maybe that we stopped working um and just to raising the working um and just to raising the working um and just to raising the cattle and and doing more cattle and and doing more cattle and and doing more research and experiments on our farm research and experiments on our farm research and experiments on our farm because because because this place this place this place as difficult as it is to manage it's as difficult as it is to manage it's as difficult as it is to manage it's very good for research because what we very good for research because what we very good for research because what we see on our farm now see on our farm now see on our farm now the other will see the other will see the other will see in in in maybe three years on their places so we maybe three years on their places so we maybe three years on their places so we are are are in we have a some sort of advantage here in we have a some sort of advantage here in we have a some sort of advantage here but that's intriguing um because you've but that's intriguing um because you've but that's intriguing um because you've got a good income from the cheesery got a good income from the cheesery got a good income from the cheesery yeah why are you giving up this good yeah why are you giving up this good yeah why are you giving up this good income and how are you going to income and how are you going to income and how are you going to compensate for because a farmer yeah compensate for because a farmer yeah compensate for because a farmer yeah yeah well we don't have that much milk yeah well we don't have that much milk yeah well we don't have that much milk yeah we are a small farm so yeah we are a small farm so yeah we are a small farm so you have always to to see you have always to to see you have always to to see what's what's what's at the moment um yeah what's what's at the moment um yeah what's what's at the moment um yeah what's what's what's the best way in average what's the best way in average what's the best way in average everything put together everything put together everything put together all right all right all right okay well we're over time now but um okay well we're over time now but um okay well we're over

you're doing on the farm the farm the farm well actually what we want to create are well actually what we want to create are well actually what we want to create are mixed habitats because we saw mixed habitats because we saw mixed habitats because we saw if you if you if you want your cows outside and it's getting want your cows outside and it's getting want your cows outside and it's getting warmer and hotter and they need warmer and hotter and they need warmer and hotter and they need a different a different a different kind of habitat it makes no sense kind of habitat it makes no sense

steep slopes there but my cows don't really slopes there but my cows don't really slopes there but my cows don't really like to go up there like to go up there like to go up there and lay down because it's too steep so and lay down because it's too steep so and lay down because it's too steep so they always go to the same spot and they always go to the same spot and they always go to the same spot

Forests stand as a vital defense against climate change and biodiversity loss, while also providing livelihoods for millions of people across the world.

But they are under threat. In the last 30 years, they’ve lost an area larger than Algeria and Libya combined.

FAO’s latest State of the World’s Forests (SOFO) report identifies three pathways that can conserve forests while supporting environmental and economic recovery: halting deforestation, restoring degraded forests, and sustainably using forests to build resilient local economies.

Remote sensing, which includes satellites and drones, is the best satellites and drones, is the best satellites and drones, is the best choice for light scale monitoring choice for light scale monitoring choice for light scale monitoring because uh with these tools uh we have because uh with these tools uh we have because uh with these tools uh we have access to historical and current data access to historical and current data access to historical and current data over based areas. Proximal sensing and over based areas. Proximal sensing and over based areas. Proximal sensing and so sensing wouldn't be so so sensing wouldn't be so so sensing wouldn't be so um accurate for this h broad time period um accurate for this h broad time period um accurate for this h broad time period and region uh monitoring. Okay, next and region uh monitoring. Okay, next and region uh monitoring. Okay, next question. True or false? If you want to question. True or false? If you want to question. True or false? If you want to optimize the use of fertigation by optimize the use of fertigation by optimize the use of fertigation by monitoring condition, soil conditions on monitoring condition, soil conditions on monitoring condition, soil conditions on site, realtime soil sensors are the best site, realtime soil sensors are the best site, realtime soil sensors are the best choice. Okay. Everyone, everyone seems to agree in Everyone, everyone seems to agree in Everyone, everyone seems to agree in this this this one. Okay, great. great. great. Great. Uh, you're right. Great.

So in a logical way we structure as one? So in a logical way we structure as it follows. So we have a brief it follows. So we have a brief it follows. So we have a brief introduction introduction introduction uh of the importance of the soil health uh of the importance of the soil health uh of the importance of the soil health monitoring and mapping and the main monitoring and mapping and the main monitoring and mapping and the main tools available and then we start with tools available and then we start with tools available and then we start with the principle of sensing. Why? Because the principle of sensing. Why? Because the principle of sensing. Why? Because it's very important to understand how is it's very important to understand how is it's very important to understand how is possible to survey uh the soil health possible to survey uh the soil health possible to survey uh the soil health monitoring and the soil characteristics monitoring and the soil characteristics monitoring and the soil characteristics and how to map them. So uh in this um and how to map them. So uh in this um and how to map them. So uh in this um section the principle of sensing you section the principle of sensing you section the principle of sensing you will find some concept related to will find some concept related to will find some concept related to electromagnetic energy that is emitted electromagnetic energy that is emitted electromagnetic energy that is emitted reflected and that can be used for the reflected and that can be used for the reflected and that can be used for the detection of the soil feature. detection of the soil feature. detection of the soil feature. In the next uh section the sensor In the next uh section the sensor In the next uh section the sensor characteristics you will find some characteristics you will find some characteristics you will find some important important important um uh divisions of the main sensor. So um uh divisions of the main sensor. So um uh divisions of the main sensor. So uh you will find the note imaging sensor uh you will find the note imaging sensor uh you will find the note imaging sensor and the imaging sensor and in particular and the imaging sensor and in particular and the imaging sensor and in particular you it will show some example of the you it will show some example of the you it will show some example of the ground sensor for ground sensor for ground sensor for soil measuring some sensor about lighter soil measuring some sensor about lighter soil measuring some sensor about lighter data and some sensor uh related to data and some sensor uh related to data and some sensor uh related to multisspectral multisspectral multisspectral uh sensing of the soil features. uh sensing of the soil features. uh sensing of the soil features. uh then you will find a final uh section uh then you will find a final uh section uh then you will find a final uh section about the extractable information. So we about the extractable information. So we about the extractable information. So we and you probably you learn how to sense and you probably you learn how to sense and you probably you learn how to sense some soil characteristics which sensor some soil characteristics which sensor some soil characteristics which sensor can detect some characteristics and then can detect some characteristics and then can detect some characteristics and then uh which information we can extract and uh which information we can extract and uh which information we can extract and so we can understand from the data so we can understand from the data so we can understand from the data acquired by the sensor. So there is a acquired by the sensor. So there is a acquired by the sensor. So there is a different uh between the different uh between the different uh between the data the simple data and the information data the simple data and the information data the simple data and the information to move from data to information we need to move from data to information we need to move from data to information we need some concept and probably you will find some concept and probably you will find some concept and probably you will find this concept uh in a easy way let me say this concept uh in a easy way let me say this concept uh in a easy way let me say in this uh module and finally we added in this uh module and finally we added in this uh module and finally we added also a glossaryy very interesting with also a glossaryy very interesting with also a glossaryy very interesting with many terms.

So um as my previous So um as my previous So um as my previous um uh as as the previous uh colleague um uh as as the previous uh colleague um uh as as the previous uh colleague said um we've been working on remote said um we've been working on remote said um we've been working on remote sensing uh in holistic approach which sensing uh in holistic approach which sensing uh in holistic approach which means that we use uh all the kinds of means that we use uh all the kinds of means that we use uh all the kinds of data. So we've been using satellite imagery, drone imagery and also ground imagery, drone imagery and also ground imagery, drone imagery and also ground sensors. These three levels are well sensors. These three levels are well sensors. These three levels are well described in uh in our module and we described in uh in our module and we described in uh in our module and we believe that they are all complimentary believe that they are all complimentary believe that they are all complimentary and their uses dependent and their uses dependent and their uses dependent uh on what are your specific needs. What uh on what are your specific needs. What uh on what are your specific needs. What we've been focused on these are drones we've been focused on these are drones we've been focused on these are drones and I'm really happy to hear that uh and I'm really happy to hear that uh and I'm really happy to hear that uh some of you are really interested in how some of you are really interested in how some of you are really interested in how to use uh drones in your work. Uh so to use uh drones in your work. Uh so to use uh drones in your work. Uh so basically for larger areas uh we believe basically for larger areas uh we believe basically for larger areas uh we believe that uh it's sufficient to uh have a that uh it's sufficient to uh have a that uh it's sufficient to uh have a satellite imagery in most cases but in satellite imagery in most cases but in satellite imagery in most cases but in specific problems like pests or uh some specific problems like pests or uh some specific problems like pests or uh some specific crop types like vegetables specific crop types like vegetables specific crop types like vegetables uh or orchats or uh other areas like uh or orchats or uh other areas like uh or orchats or uh other areas like polodic culture. uh drones are polodic culture. uh drones are polodic culture. uh drones are irreplaceable and are really valuable irreplaceable and are really valuable irreplaceable and are really valuable for uh monitoring uh the soil and also for uh monitoring uh the soil and also for uh monitoring uh the soil and also uh indirectly so through the vegetation. uh indirectly so through the vegetation. uh indirectly so through the vegetation. Uh so as we have worked uh through the Uh so as we have worked uh through the Uh so as we have worked uh through the projects we are thinking about projects we are thinking about projects we are thinking about applicability of our uh techniques and applicability of our uh techniques and applicability of our uh techniques and of course as uh institute of aviation we of course as uh institute of aviation we of course as uh institute of aviation we are developing are developing are developing uh like big fixed wing drones but these uh like big fixed wing drones but these uh like big fixed wing drones but these are really um complicated to use uh for are really um complicated to use uh for are really um complicated to use uh for the end users like soil advisors, the end users like soil advisors, the end users like soil advisors, farmers farmers farmers uh and people who have no technical uh and people who have no technical uh and people who have no technical background. As I mentioned, in some background. As I mentioned, in some background. As I mentioned, in some cases they uh we need to use them for uh cases they uh we need to use them for uh cases they uh we need to use them for uh larger areas like up to five square larger areas like up to five square larger areas like up to five square kilometers. But in most cases you can kilometers. But in most cases you can kilometers. But in most cases you can use smaller drones which are really use smaller drones which are really use smaller drones which are really powerful tool uh for uh soil health powerful tool uh for uh soil health powerful tool uh for uh soil health monitoring and for vegetation monitoring and for vegetation monitoring and for vegetation uh monitoring. So even the small drones uh monitoring. So even the small drones uh monitoring. So even the small drones from even €1,000 can be used to create from even €1,000 can be used to create from even €1,000 can be used to create uh maps uh for even for prescription uh maps uh for even for prescription uh maps uh for even for prescription maps or for uh precisive maps or for uh precisive maps or for uh precisive agriculture. Uh but the best use um of agriculture. Uh but the best use um of agriculture. Uh but the best use um of data is uh to have multisspectral data is uh to have multisspectral data is uh to have multisspectral cameras uh placed on little uh bigger cameras uh placed on little uh bigger cameras uh placed on little uh bigger drones. uh so they allow us to um have drones. uh so they allow us to um have drones. uh so they allow us to um have information about a lot of parameters information about a lot of parameters information about a lot of parameters that can be monitored through uh so I'll that can be monitored through uh so I'll that can be monitored through uh so I'll show you examples in next few slides show you examples in next few slides show you examples in next few slides also when it comes to sensor we cannot also when it comes to sensor we cannot also when it comes to sensor we cannot forget about lighter which might be also forget about lighter which might be also forget about lighter which might be also really valuable tool for a geometric um really valuable tool for a geometric um really valuable tool for a geometric um parameters of both uh vegetation and parameters of both uh vegetation and parameters of both uh vegetation and soil. So it means that we can calculate soil. So it means that we can calculate soil. So it means that we can calculate biomass or uh soil erosion through the biomass or uh soil erosion through the biomass or uh soil erosion through the lighter lighter lighter data. So when it comes to the uh the the data. So when it comes to the uh the the data. So when it comes to the uh the the smallest and uh the le less costly smallest and uh the le less costly smallest and uh the le less costly drones uh they are mostly used uh and drones uh they are mostly used uh and drones uh they are mostly used uh and they can be mostly used for the crop they can be mostly used for the crop they can be mostly used for the crop inspection and for the soil uh soil inspection and for the soil uh soil inspection and for the soil uh soil inspection. So even during the flight inspection. So even during the flight inspection. So even during the flight which is not a flight designed for which is not a flight designed for which is not a flight designed for mapping you can see where are the spots mapping you can see where are the spots mapping you can see where are the spots where you need to go uh to see what's where you need to go uh to see what's where you need to go uh to see what's happening if there are some pests um if happening if there are some pests um if happening if there are some pests um if there is some problem with moisture in there is some problem with moisture in there is some problem with moisture in the soil or uh with with erosion or for the soil or uh with with erosion or for the soil or uh with with erosion or for lack of nutrients in the soil. So this lack of nutrients in the soil. So this lack of nutrients in the soil. So this is the first basic level that any user, is the first basic level that any user, is the first basic level that any user, any soil advisor any soil advisor any soil advisor uh can go through after buying a small uh can go through after buying a small uh can go through after buying a small drone which which costs uh as low as uh drone which which costs uh as low as uh drone which which costs uh as low as uh €1,000. Later on when we move into uh €1,000. Later on when we move into uh €1,000. Later on when we move into uh more powerful drones like for uh even more powerful drones like for uh even more powerful drones like for uh even from 55 5,000 from 55 5,000 from 55 5,000 uh we can use it for more sophisticated uh we can use it for more sophisticated uh we can use it for more sophisticated mapping. Sophisticated means that we can mapping. Sophisticated means that we can mapping. Sophisticated means that we can monitor various monitor various monitor various uh parameters but it's really easy to uh parameters but it's really easy to uh parameters but it's really easy to use. The development of the drones now use. The development of the drones now use. The development of the drones now uh has made them really really easy to uh has made them really really easy to uh has made them really really easy to use and with having automatic use and with having automatic use and with having automatic uh software for uh creating indices uh software for uh creating indices uh software for uh creating indices prescription maps or detecting anomalies prescription maps or detecting anomalies prescription maps or detecting anomalies uh you can almost automatically uh uh you can almost automatically uh uh you can almost automatically uh create this kind of maps. So what we can create this kind of maps. So what we can create this kind of maps. So what we can see here it's um it's a uh vegetation. see here it's um it's a uh vegetation. see here it's um it's a uh vegetation. It's a corn corn field in Austria and we It's a corn corn field in Austria and we It's a corn corn field in Austria and we can see various indices. NDVI might be can see various indices. NDVI might be can see various indices. NDVI might be known by most of you. It's uh normalized known by most of you. It's uh normalized known by most of you. It's uh normalized uh difference vegetation index. Uh but uh difference vegetation index. Uh but uh difference vegetation index. Uh but also we've got here um uh different also we've got here um uh different also we've got here um uh different indices uh like the ones related to the indices uh like the ones related to the indices uh like the ones related to the amount of chlorophyil. amount of chlorophyil. amount of chlorophyil. uh but also we can create models uh uh but also we can create models uh uh but also we can create models uh through the use of uh of drones. So through the use of uh of drones. So through the use of uh of drones. So these are digital surface models or these are digital surface models or these are digital surface models or normalized uh digital surface models normalized uh digital surface models normalized uh digital surface models which allow us to which allow us to which allow us to uh model for example water flows uh on uh model for example water flows uh on uh model for example water flows uh on the on the soil that so we can see where the on the soil that so we can see where the on the soil that so we can see where are the channels uh that water water are the channels uh that water water are the channels uh that water water goes uh from our uh goes uh from our uh goes uh from our uh plot. Also when it comes to the water uh plot. Also when it comes to the water uh plot. Also when it comes to the water uh we have been using um the multisspectral we have been using um the multisspectral we have been using um the multisspectral cameras for the soil moisture uh content cameras for the soil moisture uh content cameras for the soil moisture uh content determination. Uh of course it's not determination. Uh of course it's not determination. Uh of course it's not that common in drones uh because most of that common in drones uh because most of that common in drones uh because most of the research and most of the the research and most of the the research and most of the applications are through the satellite applications are through the satellite applications are through the satellite imagery like Sentinel 2. uh but here uh imagery like Sentinel 2. uh but here uh imagery like Sentinel 2. uh but here uh we see also the the application where we we see also the the application where we we see also the the application where we can monitor the soil moisture through can monitor the soil moisture through can monitor the soil moisture through the uh normalized uh water index. Uh it the uh normalized uh water index. Uh it the uh normalized uh water index. Uh it also depend on the application because also depend on the application because also depend on the application because it might require more scientific it might require more scientific it might require more scientific equipment. However, when there is a equipment. However, when there is a equipment. However, when there is a problem, you will uh you can ask uh problem, you will uh you can ask uh problem, you will uh you can ask uh scientific institution in your country. scientific institution in your country. scientific institution in your country. probably there is one who owns that uh probably there is one who owns that uh probably there is one who owns that uh that kind of camera. that kind of camera. that kind of camera. The next uh the next uh issue that we The next uh the next uh issue that we The next uh the next uh issue that we monitored was uh less related to the monitored was uh less related to the monitored was uh less related to the agriculture because as uh mentioned agriculture because as uh mentioned agriculture because as uh mentioned before uh we are not only focusing on uh before uh we are not only focusing on uh before uh we are not only focusing on uh crop covers but also uh polyiculture uh crop covers but also uh polyiculture uh crop covers but also uh polyiculture uh forests um uh urban sites uh and others. forests um uh urban sites uh and others. forests um uh urban sites uh and others. So here we try to determine the soil So here we try to determine the soil So here we try to determine the soil erosion in the forest in Australian erosion in the forest in Australian erosion in the forest in Australian Austrian Alps. Uh so also you can see Austrian Alps. Uh so also you can see Austrian Alps. Uh so also you can see the digital elevation model. Um and uh the digital elevation model. Um and uh the digital elevation model. Um and uh and the water flows here on the on the and the water flows here on the on the and the water flows here on the on the slope. Uh also uh this this data is slope. Uh also uh this this data is slope. Uh also uh this this data is based on the lighter data so laser based on the lighter data so laser based on the lighter data so laser scanning. Uh but uh nowadays uh the scanning. Uh but uh nowadays uh the scanning. Uh but uh nowadays uh the prices of this kind of um sophisticated prices of this kind of um sophisticated prices of this kind of um sophisticated equipment uh has become much lower than equipment uh has become much lower than equipment uh has become much lower than it used to be several years ago because it used to be several years ago because it used to be several years ago because it used to be like €50,000 uh per uh for it used to be like €50,000 uh per uh for it used to be like €50,000 uh per uh for this kind of equipment. But now nowadays this kind of equipment. But now nowadays this kind of equipment. But now nowadays it's uh even up uh up to one it's uh even up uh up to one it's uh even up uh up to one uh€10,000. And also the use of it became uh€10,000. And also the use of it became uh€10,000. And also the use of it became really easy for the end users because if really easy for the end users because if really easy for the end users because if they um if they will know uh operating they um if they will know uh operating they um if they will know uh operating the drone like uh this shown on on the the drone like uh this shown on on the the drone like uh this shown on on the slide in the middle uh on the first slide in the middle uh on the first slide in the middle uh on the first slide the Matric M350 slide the Matric M350 slide the Matric M350 uh it's really really easy to use it and uh it's really really easy to use it and uh it's really really easy to use it and uh to plan this kind of mission also the uh to plan this kind of mission also the uh to plan this kind of mission also the software there automatically can software there automatically can software there automatically can generate this kind of product that may generate this kind of product that may generate this kind of product that may help uh to make help uh to make help uh to make decisions and what's really really decisions and what's really really decisions and what's really really important that this kind of data might important that this kind of data might important that this kind of data might be helpful of course uh but it's nothing be helpful of course uh but it's nothing be helpful of course uh but it's nothing without appropriate informatic system. without appropriate informatic system. without appropriate informatic system. So uh this need to be implemented as a So uh this need to be implemented as a So uh this need to be implemented as a part of uh the farm management farm part of uh the farm management farm part of uh the farm management farm management system. In most cases uh it's management system. In most cases uh it's management system. In most cases uh it's uh easily applicable to this kind of uh uh easily applicable to this kind of uh uh easily applicable to this kind of uh systems. So then if it's a part of uh of systems. So then if it's a part of uh of systems. So then if it's a part of uh of planning of um management uh of a agro planning of um management uh of a agro planning of um management uh of a agro technique technique technique um uh then then it's uh really valuable um uh then then it's uh really valuable um uh then then it's uh really valuable uh for the farmers uh for the orchid uh for the farmers uh for the orchid uh for the farmers uh for the orchid managers managers managers uh urban planners uh and so on. And what uh urban planners uh and so on. And what uh urban planners uh and so on. And what we are going to plan to do also during we are going to plan to do also during we are going to plan to do also during the during our project uh we are the during our project uh we are the during our project uh we are planning also to have on-site workshops planning also to have on-site workshops planning also to have on-site workshops related to uh related to um uh the related to uh related to um uh the related to uh related to um uh the module 3.

H this um this tool is the result of 3. H this um this tool is the result of 3. H this um this tool is the result of the adaptation of the agricat the adaptation of the agricat the adaptation of the agricat web and uh um which we are using as um web and uh um which we are using as um web and uh um which we are using as um at the viewer for for the for the GS at the viewer for for the for the GS at the viewer for for the for the GS tool and tool and tool and aris agric is a commercial online tool aris agric is a commercial online tool aris agric is a commercial online tool that works in desktop but also in the that works in desktop but also in the that works in desktop but also in the mobile phones for the special temporal mobile phones for the special temporal mobile phones for the special temporal aronomical advice based on satellite aronomical advice based on satellite aronomical advice based on satellite data and data and data and models. Well, mainly Aras is a models. Well, mainly Aras is a models. Well, mainly Aras is a repository for special data. Um, so you repository for special data. Um, so you repository for special data. Um, so you can find a lot of sources of um of um can find a lot of sources of um of um can find a lot of sources of um of um yes yes yes special information from different uh special information from different uh special information from different uh databases. I was just uh showing you how databases. I was just uh showing you how databases. I was just uh showing you how the agric look like and when you access the agric look like and when you access the agric look like and when you access to the platform there is a space there to the platform there is a space there to the platform there is a space there the viewware when you can navigate uh the viewware when you can navigate uh the viewware when you can navigate uh through the sp space through the sp space through the sp space uh you have some functionalities to uh you have some functionalities to uh you have some functionalities to manage your your user and change the manage your your user and change the manage your your user and change the language. The platform is translated to language. The platform is translated to language. The platform is translated to many languages. So probably you will many languages. So probably you will many languages. So probably you will find your your your mother find your your your mother find your your your mother tongue. Um there is a here there is the tongue. Um there is a here there is the tongue. Um there is a here there is the space where you can uh work and manage space where you can uh work and manage space where you can uh work and manage all the the the raster and vector layers all the the the raster and vector layers all the the the raster and vector layers that I depicted for for your that I depicted for for your that I depicted for for your user. Um here you have the the calendar user. Um here you have the the calendar user. Um here you have the the calendar where you can um navigate through where you can um navigate through where you can um navigate through different dates of satellite images but different dates of satellite images but different dates of satellite images but also all the information which also all the information which also all the information which is saved in the in the platform. is saved in the in the platform. is saved in the in the platform. And here you have some tools to console And here you have some tools to console And here you have some tools to console the information um of your of your the the information um of your of your the the information um of your of your the layers that are activated in the in the layers that are activated in the in the layers that are activated in the in the layer space and also you have some menu layer space and also you have some menu layer space and also you have some menu to configurate the viewer but also see to configurate the viewer but also see to configurate the viewer but also see in detail um information from the in detail um information from the in detail um information from the layers. So there you can check the the layers. So there you can check the the layers. So there you can check the the basic map. You can um look for for some basic map. You can um look for for some basic map. You can um look for for some layers uh console the information change layers uh console the information change layers uh console the information change the lay and um create geolocations. Um so to console the layer information Um so to console the layer information Um so to console the layer information uh you have to activate the the layer uh you have to activate the the layer uh you have to activate the the layer you want to to work with. In this case, you want to to work with. In this case, you want to to work with. In this case, for example, the the NDVI which is for example, the the NDVI which is for example, the the NDVI which is mainly provided by we have access to mainly provided by we have access to mainly provided by we have access to Sentinel 2 data. Um and then you here Sentinel 2 data. Um and then you here Sentinel 2 data. Um and then you here you see I just drop down the calendar you see I just drop down the calendar you see I just drop down the calendar and you see that the some dates are and you see that the some dates are and you see that the some dates are marked depending of um marked depending of um marked depending of um the the the the the the um quality of the data in terms of cloud um quality of the data in terms of cloud um quality of the data in terms of cloud cloudness. cloudness. cloudness. Um and then you have to activate the Um and then you have to activate the Um and then you have to activate the layer which is uh here in this in this layer which is uh here in this in this layer which is uh here in this in this bottom but also you have to activate the bottom but also you have to activate the bottom but also you have to activate the tool. So let's go to see how it works in tool. So let's go to see how it works in tool. So let's go to see how it works in real in the in the in the address web his the in the in the address web his the in the in the address web his platform. So here you see you can platform. So here you see you can platform. So here you see you can navigate through the through the navigate through the through the navigate through the through the map and if I activate the layer NDVI map and if I activate the layer NDVI map and if I activate the layer NDVI which is the layer I want to consult and which is the layer I want to consult and which is the layer I want to consult and the H the H the H function if we select the date function if we select the date function if we select the date six don't know if it works we click in a six don't know if it works we click in a six don't know if it works we click in a pixel well now the image pixel well now the image pixel well now the image appear in this case is um um it's not appear in this case is um um it's not appear in this case is um um it's not complete because uh there were some complete because uh there were some complete because uh there were some clouds. So I will try to select another clouds. So I will try to select another clouds. So I will try to select another one. one. one. Yes. So here if I click here Yes. So here if I click here Yes. So here if I click here uh you have the information of this uh you have the information of this uh you have the information of this layer which is the NDVI you have here layer which is the NDVI you have here layer which is the NDVI you have here the value and which sensor uh is giving the value and which sensor uh is giving the value and which sensor uh is giving you the the information. And you go to you the the information. And you go to you the the information. And you go to more more more information. H well in this case is the information. H well in this case is the information. H well in this case is the same. Um here we have some same. Um here we have some same. Um here we have some functionalities that you can change the functionalities that you can change the functionalities that you can change the the layer. We have some proposals here. the layer. We have some proposals here. the layer. We have some proposals here. [Music] Um so if we change this which is a much Um so if we change this which is a much Um so if we change this which is a much much much more detail um lay. Okay. So much much more detail um lay. Okay. So much much more detail um lay. Okay. So this is um there are many options to console time service. Uh we options to console time service. Uh we options to console time service. Uh we have um we have another function and you have um we have another function and you have um we have another function and you have to use this uh function and when have to use this uh function and when have to use this uh function and when you click here uh you see that there a you click here uh you see that there a you click here uh you see that there a new you will see that uh a new menu new you will see that uh a new menu new you will see that uh a new menu appear uh where you can choose if you appear uh where you can choose if you appear uh where you can choose if you want to console just pixel by pixel or want to console just pixel by pixel or want to console just pixel by pixel or you want to see in the graph um multiple you want to see in the graph um multiple you want to see in the graph um multiple um multiple pixels and here you um um multiple pixels and here you um um multiple pixels and here you um define which is the range of dates you define which is the range of dates you define which is the range of dates you want to to want to to want to to consult. If I show you a consult. If I show you a consult. If I show you a demo, if we click here, here you see demo, if we click here, here you see demo, if we click here, here you see that you have some options um that um that you have some options um that um that you have some options um that um well, this is a new functionality that well, this is a new functionality that well, this is a new functionality that you can consult a point, a pixel. Uh you you can consult a point, a pixel. Uh you you can consult a point, a pixel. Uh you can draw a polygon or you can um select can draw a polygon or you can um select can draw a polygon or you can um select one polygon. Select one polygon means one polygon. Select one polygon means one polygon. Select one polygon means that you can select one of the of this that you can select one of the of this that you can select one of the of this um of one polyon that you have um of one polyon that you have um of one polyon that you have predefined which is a a predefined which is a a predefined which is a a vector vector shape. Okay, you see I uh vector vector shape. Okay, you see I uh vector vector shape. Okay, you see I uh click click click on on the time series function and here on on the time series function and here on on the time series function and here I set multiple and I will console from I set multiple and I will console from I set multiple and I will console from um from last um from last um from last year January to yesterday. So if I click year January to yesterday. So if I click year January to yesterday. So if I click [Music] here, normally it takes some time. You see here a green light that is time. You see here a green light that is time. You see here a green light that is saying that information is coming. Okay. So here you have all the coming. Okay. So here you have all the coming. Okay. So here you have all the um images available in the system from um images available in the system from um images available in the system from the 1st January of 2024 to uh today. Um, the 1st January of 2024 to uh today. Um, the 1st January of 2024 to uh today. Um, and if you click in one when I will and if you click in one when I will and if you click in one when I will change the lay. And if you click in some of lay. And if you click in some of lay. And if you click in some of them, you can go them, you can go them, you can go to this um image. Okay. Um the satellite image. Okay. Um the satellite image. Okay. Um the satellite information by itself it's very information by itself it's very information by itself it's very informative but you can but to make a informative but you can but to make a informative but you can but to make a assessment in soil health you need much assessment in soil health you need much assessment in soil health you need much more data like with so type or of more data like with so type or of more data like with so type or of another information that inform you another information that inform you another information that inform you abroad about the aonomical context of of abroad about the aonomical context of of abroad about the aonomical context of of of what is happening. of what is happening. of what is happening. So we have connect the platform to the So we have connect the platform to the So we have connect the platform to the area open library that will be explained area open library that will be explained area open library that will be explained later by my colleague. Um so then you later by my colleague. Um so then you later by my colleague. Um so then you can you can uh consult in this uh menu can you can uh consult in this uh menu can you can uh consult in this uh menu uh different uh different uh different layers and in the same way you activate layers and in the same way you activate layers and in the same way you activate the layer and the the layer and the the layer and the tool. So in this case if we come here to tool. So in this case if we come here to tool. So in this case if we come here to area so we we we know that and we want area so we we we know that and we want area so we we we know that and we want to know to know to know [Music] [Music] [Music] uh where is the uh where is the uh where is the uh organic matter in the subs soil. You uh organic matter in the subs soil. You uh organic matter in the subs soil. You see that information is um charging. Okay. Um and they provide the charging. Okay. Um and they provide the charging. Okay. Um and they provide the information provided is this. If we information provided is this. If we information provided is this. If we activate the to consult the tools to activate the to consult the tools to activate the to consult the tools to consult the information we click on one consult the information we click on one consult the information we click on one pixel when I click pixel when I click pixel when I click here. So here is the information and we here. So here is the information and we here. So here is the information and we go we click on more information. uh we have uh more detail about the uh we have uh more detail about the uh we have uh more detail about the source of data and what is the meaning source of data and what is the meaning source of data and what is the meaning what are the units and yes um and the what are the units and yes um and the what are the units and yes um and the links and all the metadata related to links and all the metadata related to links and all the metadata related to this information. Uh as I said this information. Uh as I said this information. Uh as I said this information is part of the database information is part of the database information is part of the database which is also accessible from its own which is also accessible from its own which is also accessible from its own platform that will be present. Now I platform that will be present. Now I platform that will be present. Now I give the floor to Uway and she give the floor to Uway and she give the floor to Uway and she will she will show you how how it look will she will show you how how it look will she will show you how how it look like and how it works. like and how it works. like and how it works. Thank you Elena. Um let me share my Thank you Elena. Um let me share my Thank you Elena. Um let me share my screen so that you can see how work. So screen so that you can see how work.

Um so interest. Um so interest. Um so um for embis soil GS platform uh we are um for embis soil GS platform uh we are um for embis soil GS platform uh we are Aras uh is trying to um provide data Aras uh is trying to um provide data Aras uh is trying to um provide data layers and model outputs at the core of layers and model outputs at the core of layers and model outputs at the core of the platform via uh our API. Uh the KAB the platform via uh our API. Uh the KAB the platform via uh our API. Uh the KAB modeling engine uh access uh accessible modeling engine uh access uh accessible modeling engine uh access uh accessible uh through web applications and APIs uh through web applications and APIs uh through web applications and APIs uses web uh accessible content to uses web uh accessible content to uses web uh accessible content to generate contextualized outputs from generate contextualized outputs from generate contextualized outputs from users queries. For example, um user want users queries. For example, um user want users queries. For example, um user want to observe the concept of uh for example to observe the concept of uh for example to observe the concept of uh for example X in the context of Y and producing ad X in the context of Y and producing ad X in the context of Y and producing ad hoc computitional workflows through an hoc computitional workflows through an hoc computitional workflows through an an AIdriven reasoning process that an AIdriven reasoning process that an AIdriven reasoning process that selects components based on their selects components based on their selects components based on their semantics and their feat uh to the semantics and their feat uh to the semantics and their feat uh to the context and so context and so context and so for we are trying to develop an open for we are trying to develop an open for we are trying to develop an open library which is called the areas ambiso library which is called the areas ambiso library which is called the areas ambiso open library of soil condition variables open library of soil condition variables open library of soil condition variables and the modeling components that and the modeling components that and the modeling components that integrate soil related knowledge to integrate soil related knowledge to integrate soil related knowledge to improve its findability, improve its findability, improve its findability, accessibility, interoperability and re accessibility, interoperability and re accessibility, interoperability and re reusability at the same time maintaining reusability at the same time maintaining reusability at the same time maintaining the flexibility to incorporate the the flexibility to incorporate the the flexibility to incorporate the latest and most appropriate models and latest and most appropriate models and latest and most appropriate models and data for a given temporal and data for a given temporal and data for a given temporal and geographical context. Uh Uh Uh so now I'm going to show you the this is so now I'm going to show you the this is so now I'm going to show you the this is how the user interface looks like in uh how the user interface looks like in uh how the user interface looks like in uh in the ambiso open library in areas. Now in the ambiso open library in areas. Now in the ambiso open library in areas. Now I'm going to um show you exactly how it I'm going to um show you exactly how it I'm going to um show you exactly how it works in the app. So, um, here is the link access to the So, um, here is the link access to the So, um, here is the link access to the the app. It's freely registered and and you app. It's freely registered and and you app. It's freely registered and and you can use your email and your username to can use your email and your username to can use your email and your username to log to this application. And once the log to this application. And once the log to this application. And once the app is app is app is loaded, you will see this user loaded, you will see this user loaded, you will see this user interface. And on the left side, you interface. And on the left side, you interface. And on the left side, you will see that uh here is the place where will see that uh here is the place where will see that uh here is the place where you can um choose the context that what you can um choose the context that what you can um choose the context that what that you want to observe. Uh for example that you want to observe. Uh for example that you want to observe. Uh for example using the the map boundary which is the using the the map boundary which is the using the the map boundary which is the current uh window that of your context current uh window that of your context current uh window that of your context or the administrative region which is or the administrative region which is or the administrative region which is actually the ad administrative actually the ad administrative actually the ad administrative boundaries as your current window or boundaries as your current window or boundaries as your current window or based on river basins and you can also based on river basins and you can also based on river basins and you can also set your spatial resolution according to set your spatial resolution according to set your spatial resolution according to your needs. Once you select your your needs. Once you select your your needs. Once you select your context, for example, we use this context, for example, we use this context, for example, we use this um uh um uh um uh maybe zoom in a bit. bit. bit. Okay, let's choose the map boundary. And then here in this soil boundary. And then here in this soil boundary. And then here in this soil health dimensions you are able to health dimensions you are able to health dimensions you are able to actually select and observe whichever actually select and observe whichever actually select and observe whichever soil uh variables that you want to want soil uh variables that you want to want soil uh variables that you want to want to check. For example, we want to to check. For example, we want to to check. For example, we want to observe so organic carbon. So you can observe so organic carbon. So you can observe so organic carbon.

NBSOIL celebrated the exciting launch of the NBSOIL Academy on 5 June at 10:00 CEST with a webinar reaching over 100 attendees across Europe!

NBSOIL offers a free, comprehensive training academy for current and aspiring soil advisors across Europe under the EU Soil Mission’s programme.

The launch celebration started with a webinar for those around the world who want to dive deep into sustainable land management. Moderators warmly welcomed the guests and learned more about the EU Mission Soil and one of its sister projects, PREP Soil, who are driving engagement and ‘preparing the ground’ for soil health across Europe.

Project partner, the Soil Association, led the session by providing information on the logistics and content of the Soil Academy. The other panelists then addressed questions about the academy, its content and the registration process.

The course content will be structured into four modules, alongside a final project. They will include online sessions, live webinars, practical workshops and registration events. Vincent Levavasseur with CNA and Almudena Olivas del Rey with ITAP introduced these modules, announcing that they will be released gradually from June 2024 to May 2025.

The final project will address a real soil advisory situation, designed in teams and mentored by the NBSOIL experts. This will span the last nine months of the Academy, from October 2025 until June 2026.

With eight speakers at this event, attendees heard from all aspects of the academy; some presenting more in-depth academic content of this educational tool. Representative of the Soil Mission, Marialuisa Dal Poz, DG Agriculture and Rural Development of the European Commission introduced the EU mission. Pablo Gómez, speaker on the PREP Soil Project, (INIA) followed with their connections to the project.

present to you uh what is the mission present to you uh what is the mission present to you uh what is the mission soil a soil deal for soil a soil deal for soil a soil deal for Europe um so first of all the missions Europe um so first of all the missions Europe um so first of all the missions um are created under Horizon Europe the um are created under Horizon Europe the um are created under Horizon Europe the program for research and innovation of program for research and innovation of program for research and innovation of the European the European the European Union um to address major societal Union um to address major societal Union um to address major societal challenges and uh with the aim to have a challenges and uh with the aim to have a challenges and uh with the aim to have a strong visibility and strong visibility and strong visibility and impact um what does it mean mission impact um what does it mean mission impact um what does it mean mission mission is a portfolio of actions um mission is a portfolio of actions um mission is a portfolio of actions um across different disciplines that are across different disciplines that are across different disciplines that are intended to uh aim uh inspirational and intended to uh aim uh inspirational and intended to uh aim uh inspirational and measurable goals within a set time frame measurable goals within a set time frame measurable goals within a set time frame and so then to have an impact on society and so then to have an impact on society and so then to have an impact on society and and and policym uh as you can see under Horizon policym uh as you can see under Horizon policym uh as you can see under Horizon Europe uh there have been defined five Europe uh there have been defined five Europe uh there have been defined five mission areas and ours is the soil deal mission areas and ours is the soil deal mission areas and ours is the soil deal for Europe why soil has been identified for Europe why soil has been identified for Europe why soil has been identified as a um a very uh as a um a very uh as a um a very uh important aspect such is uh now is important aspect such is uh now is important aspect such is uh now is become a priority for the European become a priority for the European become a priority for the European commission uh after uh some analysis commission uh after uh some analysis commission uh after uh some analysis from our experts uh it has been found from our experts uh it has been found from our experts uh it has been found that over 60% of soils um in Europe are that over 60% of soils um in Europe are that over 60% of soils um in Europe are unhealthy uh thus they are not able to unhealthy uh thus they are not able to unhealthy uh thus they are not able to deliver vital ecosystem services and as deliver vital ecosystem services and as deliver vital ecosystem services and as you I guess you all know these so are you I guess you all know these so are you I guess you all know these so are needed for producing food hosting needed for producing food hosting needed for producing food hosting biodiversity cycling nutrients purifying biodiversity cycling nutrients purifying biodiversity cycling nutrients purifying regulating water Etc so it is clear that regulating water Etc so it is clear that regulating water Etc so it is clear that the role of our soils uh sorry I move to the role of our soils uh sorry I move to the role of our soils uh sorry I move to the next the next the next one one one um um um are are key to to provide food and are are key to to provide food and are are key to to provide food and disase ecosystem services and this where disase ecosystem services and this where disase ecosystem services and this where it comes in emission soil so which is it comes in emission soil so which is it comes in emission soil so which is needed uh also for the success of the needed uh also for the success of the needed uh also for the success of the other um missions so for example it will other um missions so for example it will other um missions so for example it will be supporting CLE oceans the climate be supporting CLE oceans the climate be supporting CLE oceans the climate neutral cities climate resilience neutral cities climate resilience neutral cities climate resilience regions and as well the prevention of regions and as well the prevention of regions and as well the prevention of cancer if we are eating good and healthy cancer if we are eating good and healthy cancer if we are eating good and healthy food so the challenges that the mission food so the challenges that the mission food so the challenges that the mission soil is uh going to soil is uh going to soil is uh going to address um are the followings we have a address um are the followings we have a address um are the followings we have a knowledge um a knowledge practice knowledge um a knowledge practice knowledge um a knowledge practice divide uh so knowledge regarding divide uh so knowledge regarding divide uh so knowledge regarding sustainable s Management no is not sustainable s Management no is not sustainable s Management no is not sufficiently applied in practice then sufficiently applied in practice then sufficiently applied in practice then also we would like that more knowledge also we would like that more knowledge also we would like that more knowledge and data uh are available on and data uh are available on and data uh are available on biodiversity on contamination meaning biodiversity on contamination meaning biodiversity on contamination meaning pesticide nutrients on carbon farming on pesticide nutrients on carbon farming on pesticide nutrients on carbon farming on waste waste waste management and also the in you the management and also the in you the management and also the in you the monitoring at the moment is not very monitoring at the moment is not very monitoring at the moment is not very harmonized uh so we would like to harmonized uh so we would like to harmonized uh so we would like to undertake it in a more systematic way undertake it in a more systematic way undertake it in a more systematic way and also a four point is to increase and also a four point is to increase and also a four point is to increase soil literacy so the awareness of the soil literacy so the awareness of the soil literacy so the awareness of the entire Society about importance of soil entire Society about importance of soil entire Society about importance of soil and the mission soil is then this uh uh and the mission soil is then this uh uh and the mission soil is then this uh uh transdisciplinarity cross cetal and the transdisciplinarity cross cetal and the transdisciplinarity cross cetal and the real life testing approach to soil real life testing approach to soil real life testing approach to soil management and as it has already been uh management and as it has already been uh management and as it has already been uh um highlighted before it will address um highlighted before it will address um highlighted before it will address all land uses so not only agriculture all land uses so not only agriculture all land uses so not only agriculture but also forestry Urban but also forestry Urban but also forestry Urban industrial industrial industrial um wait well in this slide you can see um wait well in this slide you can see um wait well in this slide you can see how the mission soil it's part of a how the mission soil it's part of a how the mission soil it's part of a robust framework for soil protection so robust framework for soil protection so robust framework for soil protection so at the moment in Europe we don't have um at the moment in Europe we don't have um at the moment in Europe we don't have um um a um a um a legislation protecting soil Health there legislation protecting soil Health there legislation protecting soil Health there is at the moment a proposal the soil is at the moment a proposal the soil is at the moment a proposal the soil monitoring directive which is part of monitoring directive which is part of monitoring directive which is part of the policy um site that is at the moment the policy um site that is at the moment the policy um site that is at the moment before that we had only a so strategy before that we had only a so strategy before that we had only a so strategy and a different type of communication and a different type of communication and a different type of communication and and and strategies um coming from the farm to strategies um coming from the farm to strategies um coming from the farm to Fork strategy so we have the EU Fork strategy so we have the EU Fork strategy so we have the EU biodiversity the climate adaptation biodiversity the climate adaptation biodiversity the climate adaptation Forest Z pollution action plan also in Forest Z pollution action plan also in Forest Z pollution action plan also in the long-term vision for rural areas and the long-term vision for rural areas and the long-term vision for rural areas and in all these strategies there are some in all these strategies there are some in all these strategies there are some aspects that um are touching upon the aspects that um are touching upon the aspects that um are touching upon the protection and restoration of soil protection and restoration of soil protection and restoration of soil Health um and then in the law I will Health um and then in the law I will Health um and then in the law I will talk a little bit later then we have talk a little bit later then we have talk a little bit later then we have also the aspect of the long-term and also the aspect of the long-term and also the aspect

there was just um and this very much and there was just um and this very much and there was just um and this may be applicable for the panel for all may be applicable for the panel for all may be applicable for the panel for all the panel but I own had asked a question the panel but I own had asked a question the panel but I own had asked a question and we have sort of answered it in the and we have sort of answered it in the and we have sort of answered it in the chat but I did because it's come up once chat but I did because it's come up once chat but I did because it's come up once or twice um around the importance of or twice um around the importance of or twice um around the importance of local knowledge about soil health and local knowledge about soil health and local knowledge about soil health and how this we know there's a sort of a a how this we know there's a sort of a a how this we know there's a sort of a a knowledge gap of potentially two knowledge gap of potentially two knowledge gap of potentially two generations so how do we um through the generations so how do we um through the generations so how do we um through the through the academy how do we through the academy how do we through the academy how do we anticipate um you know participants anticipate um you know participants anticipate um you know participants bringing that local knowledge or getting bringing that local knowledge or getting bringing that local knowledge or getting that local knowledge to benefit participants so uh Shor you may want to participants so uh Shor you may want to participants so uh Shor you may want to kind of chip in on that or Vincent yes so for local about local knowledge yes so for local about local knowledge yes so for local about local knowledge uh if I understood correctly we want uh if I understood correctly we want uh if I understood correctly we want to based on the network of expert we to based on the network of expert we to based on the network of expert we have inside the project we want to have inside the project we want to have inside the project we want to provide specific local knowledge for provide specific local knowledge for provide specific local knowledge for each uh place of Europe so we are each uh place of Europe so we are each uh place of Europe so we are focused on Europe not on the PO world focused on Europe not on the PO world focused on Europe not on the PO world but and then people have to make but and then people have to make but and then people have to make transfer if they want between Europe transfer if they want between Europe transfer if they want between Europe regions and other region of the regions and other region of the regions and other region of the world and for us it's already a big world and for us it's already a big world and for us it's already a big challenge so we have made a a climate based overview of different part of based overview of different part of based overview of different part of Europe so we have Atlantic we have Europe so we have Atlantic we have Europe so we have Atlantic we have Mediterranean Alpine Etc as geographical Mediterranean Alpine Etc as geographical Mediterranean Alpine Etc as geographical region where we have some similarity region where we have some similarity region where we have some similarity based on the climate to manage things based on the climate to manage things based on the climate to manage things and we have also specific par country and we have also specific par country and we have also specific par country knowledge because we know that there are knowledge because we know that there are knowledge because we know that there are specific regulations specific also specific regulations specific also specific regulations specific also social economic aspect per country so we social economic aspect per country so we social economic aspect per country so we will also add this specific per country will also add this specific per country will also add this specific per country knowledge for the for the participant of knowledge for the for the participant of knowledge for the for the participant of the platform yeah I wanted to add uh to what platform yeah I wanted to add uh to what platform yeah I wanted to add uh to what Vincent is saying that H module one is Vincent is saying that H module one is Vincent is saying that H module one is which is which is which is H Vincent is leading and it's the first H Vincent is leading and it's the first H Vincent is leading and it's the first one to open is the one that is more one to open is the one that is more one to open is the one that is more climate and region specific about soil climate and region specific about soil climate and region specific about soil health and nature based Solutions uh the health and nature based Solutions uh the health and nature based Solutions uh the the second uh module for example the one the second uh module for example the one the second uh module for example the one that soil Association is is preparing that soil Association is is preparing that soil Association is is preparing and will be leading is focus on field and will be leading is focus on field and will be leading is focus on field laes methodology so this this it can be laes methodology so this this it can be laes methodology so this this it can be applied ER potentially anywhere in the applied ER potentially anywhere in the applied ER potentially anywhere in the world of course you have to take into world of course you have to take into world of course you have to take into account language but the account language but the account language but the basis they can be interesting and and basis they can be interesting and and basis they can be interesting and and likea said ER because she's also leading likea said ER because she's also leading likea said ER because she's also leading the the third module which is which is the the third module which is which is the the third module which is which is dealing with digital tools which is even dealing with digital tools which is even dealing with digital tools which is even easier to apply like you can you can easier to apply like you can you can easier to apply like you can you can even participate and you can and you can even participate and you can and you can even participate and you can and you can check data and and and work uh check data and and and work uh check data and and and work uh completely completely completely remotely H and then the the last Model remotely H and then the the last Model remotely H and then the the last Model is about business models which is also is about business models which is also is about business models which is also uh

maybe something Also to clarify is that uh the something Also to clarify is that uh the something Also to clarify is that uh the the Train the the the kind of the the Train the the the kind of the the Train the the the kind of the learning pathway is totally flexible so learning pathway is totally flexible so learning pathway is totally flexible so you can stay on the level one for all you can stay on the level one for all you can stay on the level one for all modules or you can you can go much modules or you can you can go much modules or you can you can go much deeper in one module so you can so for deeper in one module so you can so for deeper in one module so you can so for example you and it's it's also totally example you and it's it's also totally example you and it's it's also totally possible that you focus more on the one possible that you focus more on the one possible that you focus more on the one with digital tools because uh you are with digital tools because uh you are with digital tools because uh you are working for far away You're but the for working for far away You're but the for working for far away You're but the for the for the final projects the idea is the for the final projects the idea is the for the final projects the idea is to cooperate and to complement skills to cooperate and to complement skills to cooperate and to complement skills and in I didn't show the the data and in I didn't show the the data and in I didn't show the the data because that's a bit H not to make it because that's a bit H not to make it because that's a bit H not to make it too long but uh we we also have by now a too long but uh we we also have by now a too long but uh we we also have by now a lot of very amazing combinations of lot of very amazing combinations of lot of very amazing combinations of skills and and resources also we are skills and and resources also we are skills and and resources also we are asking about uh if you have already asking about uh if you have already asking about uh if you have already contact with with farmer networks uh and contact with with farmer networks uh and contact with with farmer networks uh and and communities and communities and communities Etc so that's the idea that you can Etc so that's the idea that you can Etc so that's the idea that you can bring bring bring that great thanks heier and there's that great thanks heier and there's that great thanks heier and there's again there's just a couple of questions again there's just a couple of questions again there's just a couple of questions I think

received academy but haven't received academy but haven't received confirmation or next step so um confirmation or next step so um confirmation or next step so um can you just repeat that answer for can you just repeat that answer for can you just repeat that answer for me to be honest if you register to the me to be honest if you register to the me to be honest if you register to the academy you should you should have academy you should you should have academy you should you should have received the the confirmation email from received the the confirmation email from received the the confirmation email from the M soil website ER that's the one the M soil website ER that's the one the M soil website ER that's the one that the one that I saw on my screen that the one that I saw on

on feedbacks uh planed depending on sector directly feedbacks to the sector directly feedbacks to the sector directly feedbacks to the participants which be in level three so for is plained for will be available so for is plained for will be available so for is plained for will be available in the module in the module in the module platform perfect thanks Vincent Anna do platform perfect thanks Vincent Anna do platform perfect thanks Vincent Anna do you have any feedback on module you have any feedback on module you have any feedback on module two no module two a little bit along the two no module two a little bit along the two no module two a little bit along the lines of what vanan was saying the early lines of what vanan was saying the early lines of what vanan was saying the early stages are going to be just have two stages are going to be just have two stages are going to be just have two opportunities where we can connect to opportunities where we can connect to opportunities where we can connect to each other but mostly on modules two and each other but mostly on modules two and each other but mostly on modules two and three that's where you're going to oh three that's where you're going to oh three that's where you're going to oh sorry in levels two and three that's sorry in levels two and three that's sorry in levels two and three that's where you're going to have a lot of where you're going to have a lot of where you're going to have a lot of interaction spe especially on the third interaction spe especially on the third interaction spe especially on the third one third one especially for living Labs one third one especially for living Labs one third one especially for living Labs is going to be all around co-creation is going to be all around co-creation is going to be all around co-creation working together and polishing their working together and polishing their working together and polishing their ideas together rather than having to ideas together rather than having to ideas together rather than having to work online but I think that an work online but I think that an work online but I think that an important aspect of all modules here is important aspect of all modules here is important aspect of all modules here is that it's going to be very dependent on that it's going to be very dependent on that it's going to be very dependent on

co-creation is providing our examples co-creation is providing our examples co-creation is providing our examples and then a little bit about living Labs and then a little bit about living Labs and then a little bit about living Labs but modules two and three are going to but modules two and three are going to but modules two and three are going to be very specific around what is a living be very specific around what is a living be very specific around what is a living lab and how to set one up with examples lab and how to set one up with examples lab and how to set one up with examples lots of very practical examples but also lots of very practical examples but also lots of very practical examples but also spaces where you can talk to other spaces where you can talk to other spaces where you can talk to other people who either are doing it or are people who either are doing it or are people who either are doing it or are trying to do it and answering their trying to do it and answering their trying to do it and answering their questions so those are um a little bit questions so those are um a little bit questions so those are um a little bit more prone to webinars for

I seem that just for the last absolutely I seem that just for the last absolutely I seem that some people are answering the some people are answering the some people are answering the interactive questions so that's great interactive questions so that's great interactive questions so that's great because that means that we can already because that means that we can already because that means that we can already get people excited about answering get people excited about answering get people excited about answering because they have competition so the because they have competition so the because they have competition so the first question again going back to first question again going back to first question again going back to mente.com and using that um the code mente.com and using that um the code mente.com and using that um the code that you can see up there but I cannot that you can see up there but I cannot that you can see up there but I cannot see because everything is over there see because everything is over there see because everything is over there there we go so the code again is there we go so the code again is there we go so the code again is 8538 you just go

there's any topics that you purposes and there's any topics that you purposes and there's any topics that you think would be relevant to you just let think would be relevant to you just let think would be relevant to you just let us know I'll see some really interesting us know I'll see some really interesting us know I'll see some really interesting things there around how to deal with things there around how to deal with things there around how to deal with soil degradation professional soil degradation professional soil degradation professional development making sure that the that we development making sure that the that we development making sure that the that we contribute to soil literacy and sort of contribute to soil literacy and sort of contribute to soil literacy and sort of like help and I think that that's part like help and I think that that's part like help and I think that that's part of the really interesting thing about of the really interesting thing about of the really interesting thing about this academy by going through it you this academy by going through it you this academy by going through it you canot only learn about soil but about canot only learn about soil but about canot only learn about soil but about how to teach or learn about soil which I how to teach or learn about soil which I how to teach or learn about soil which I think is a really relevant set of um think is a really relevant set of um think is a really relevant set of um skills to have skills to have skills to have nowadays academic advancement really nowadays academic advancement really nowadays academic advancement really important making sure that you can work important making sure that you can work important making sure that you can work with soil scientists that's really with soil scientists that's really with soil scientists that's really interesting uh just loving soils and interesting uh just loving soils and interesting uh just loving soils and soils networking which seems fair enough soils networking which seems fair enough soils networking which seems fair enough for me that's great to have a space for me that's great to have a space for me that's great to have a space where you can actually talk about things where you can actually talk about things where you can actually talk about things that you really like that you can that you really like that you can that you really like that you can possibly talk during a dinner so lots of possibly talk during a dinner so lots of possibly talk during a dinner so lots of really really interesting questions here really really interesting questions here really really interesting questions here you can continue answering them and move you can continue answering them and move you can continue answering them and move around we're going to leave this open around we're going to leave this open around we're going to leave this open for people to continue answering it for people to continue answering it for people to continue answering it afterwards if you can think of anything afterwards if you can think of anything afterwards if you can think of anything but I think that what would be really but I think that what would be really but I think that what would be really interesting for interesting for interesting for us is to learn a little bit about um the us is to learn a little bit about um the us is to learn a little bit about um the next question which is whether you're next question which is whether you're next question which is whether you're planning to planning to planning to joining uh so if you could start joining uh so if you could start joining uh so if you could start answering this that would be great and answering this that would be great and answering this that would be great and the beauty of you answering now is that the beauty of you answering now is that the beauty of you answering now is that we can have an idea of numbers whether we can have an idea of numbers whether we can have an idea of numbers whether you're sure if you need any more you're sure if you need any more you're sure if you need any more information but Caroline

Okay. the model 4. Okay. the model 4. Okay. So starting with the uh introduction So starting with the uh introduction So starting with the uh introduction with uh from the NB soil project. So with uh from the NB soil project. So with uh from the NB soil project. So what is the NB soil? what is the NB soil? what is the NB soil? So the NB soil is a is a chronomy for So the NB soil is a is a chronomy for So the NB soil is a is a chronomy for nature-based solutions for soil nature-based solutions for soil nature-based solutions for soil management. So is a project uh four management. So is a project uh four management. So is a project uh four years funded project under the soil years funded project under the soil years funded project under the soil mission a soil deer for Europe. So and mission a soil deer for Europe. So and mission a soil deer for Europe. So and the main goal of the the project is to the main goal of the the project is to the main goal of the the project is to develop and create learning pathways for develop and create learning pathways for develop and create learning pathways for a new wave of soil advisors.

So the academy is dividing learning. So the academy is dividing learning. So the academy is dividing four model and a final project that we four model and a final project that we four model and a final project that we will see now will see now will see now uh a overview of these four models uh uh a overview of these four models uh uh a overview of these four models uh now. So uh the so economy is divid is divided So uh the so economy is divid is divided So uh the so economy is divid is divided in four models. Uh the first one cover in four models. Uh the first one cover in four models. Uh the first one cover all the soil uh the theatic thematic of all the soil uh the theatic thematic of all the soil uh the theatic thematic of soil and nature solutions. The second uh soil and nature solutions. The second uh soil and nature solutions. The second uh the soil health and living labs the soil health and living labs the soil health and living labs facilitation. The third model uh digital facilitation. The third model uh digital facilitation. The third model uh digital tools for soil health monitoring. And tools for soil health monitoring. And tools for soil health monitoring. And the last model is uh the model four is the last model is uh the model four is the last model is uh the model four is uh covered improving uh soy related uh uh covered improving uh soy related uh uh covered improving uh soy related uh decision making in uh business and decision making in uh business and decision making in uh business and policy and then we have a final project. policy and then we have a final project. policy and then we have a final project. Okay. So now in the soy academy we have Okay. So now in the soy academy we have Okay. So now in the soy academy we have available full content for the model one available full content for the model one available full content for the model one the model four uh the model two sorry uh the model four uh the model two sorry uh the model four uh the model two sorry uh the level one of model three and now the the level one of model three and now the the level one of model three and now the level one of model four. So when I am talking about levels so So when I am talking about levels so So when I am talking about levels so that means that each model that I that means that each model that I that means that each model that I presented before is dividing three presented before is dividing three presented before is dividing three levels. So each level will have a levels. So each level will have a levels. So each level will have a different uh um kind of learning I mean different uh um kind of learning I mean different uh um kind of learning I mean from the basic intermediary and advanced from the basic intermediary and advanced from the basic intermediary and advanced learning. So for example the level one learning. So for example the level one learning. So for example the level one is a 15 hours level. We have a is a 15 hours level. We have a is a 15 hours level. We have a foundation learning that is all foundation learning that is all foundation learning that is all participants understand essential participants understand essential participants understand essential concepts. So we have a basic comp set concepts. So we have a basic comp set concepts. So we have a basic comp set you learn a basic uh concepts about the you learn a basic uh concepts about the you learn a basic uh concepts about the theatic. So and this level uh the theatic. So and this level uh the theatic. So and this level uh the content will be available in seven content will be available in seven content will be available in seven languages. So English, Polish, German, languages. So English, Polish, German, languages. So English, Polish, German, Dutch, French, Italian and Spanish. Dutch, French, Italian and Spanish. Dutch, French, Italian and Spanish. The second level is a mid tier. So is a The second level is a mid tier. So is a The second level is a mid tier. So is a intermediate learning. So here the intermediate learning. So here the intermediate learning. So here the participants deepening their knowledge participants deepening their knowledge participants deepening their knowledge with a specific exercise with a specific exercise with a specific exercise being able to choose a topics uh that being able to choose a topics uh that being able to choose a topics uh that interest them more.

And so even though this soatic strategy didn't lead to the this soatic strategy didn't lead to the this soatic strategy didn't lead to the adoption of any binding legislation at adoption of any binding legislation at adoption of any binding legislation at that time, it was a milestone because um that time, it was a milestone because um that time, it was a milestone because um it recognized for the first time that it recognized for the first time that it recognized for the first time that human activities had a very strong human activities had a very strong human activities had a very strong impact on soil health and that and that impact on soil health and that and that impact on soil health and that and that soil health was degrading um very fast. soil health was degrading um very fast. soil health was degrading um very fast. Um so we decided to start with the with Um so we decided to start with the with Um so we decided to start with the with the with this strategy that was the with this strategy that was the with this strategy that was published in 2006 and um then we decided published in 2006 and um then we decided published in 2006 and um then we decided to um follow with the soar for Europe to um follow with the soar for Europe to um follow with the soar for Europe which is one of the five research and which is one of the five research and which is one of the five research and innovation missions of the Horizon innovation missions of the Horizon innovation missions of the Horizon Europe program uh that the commission Europe program uh that the commission Europe program uh that the commission launched in September 2021 and these launched in September 2021 and these launched in September 2021 and these missions recognize the need to uh we can missions recognize the need to uh we can missions recognize the need to uh we can say promote procing and integrated say promote procing and integrated say promote procing and integrated strategies uh to address some of the of strategies uh to address some of the of strategies uh to address some of the of European European European most pressing societal challenges and so most pressing societal challenges and so most pressing societal challenges and so is considered one of them. So it is very is considered one of them. So it is very is considered one of them. So it is very important to recognize the so deal for important to recognize the so deal for important to recognize the so deal for Europe because um it is also quite a Europe because um it is also quite a Europe because um it is also quite a milestone in terms of um policies at the milestone in terms of um policies at the milestone in terms of um policies at the European Union level um related to soil European Union level um related to soil European Union level um related to soil health and dedicated especially to soil health and dedicated especially to soil health and dedicated especially to soil health and then of course we couldn't health and then of course we couldn't health and then of course we couldn't exclude the European green deal um which exclude the European green deal um which exclude the European green deal um which um as you may know was announced by the um as you may know was announced by the um as you may know was announced by the president president of the commission president president of the commission president president of the commission in 2019 and this the European green in 2019 and this the European green in 2019 and this the European green field serves as a road map, a policy field serves as a road map, a policy field serves as a road map, a policy road map we can say for the EU road map we can say for the EU road map we can say for the EU sustainability transition. So it is sustainability transition. So it is sustainability transition. So it is important to say that it does not impose important to say that it does not impose important to say that it does not impose legally binding obligations on member legally binding obligations on member legally binding obligations on member states but instead um it establishes states but instead um it establishes states but instead um it establishes ambitious targets and action plans that ambitious targets and action plans that ambitious targets and action plans that member states are expected to implement member states are expected to implement member states are expected to implement um through national legislation. Um and um through national legislation. Um and um through national legislation. Um and there are several strategies within the there are several strategies within the there are several strategies within the European Green Deal that have a direct European Green Deal that have a direct European Green Deal that have a direct and indirect impact on on soil health or and indirect impact on on soil health or and indirect impact on on soil health or they can lead to some uh policies at the they can lead to some uh policies at the they can lead to some uh policies at the national level that have a direct or national level that have a direct or national level that have a direct or indirect impact on soil health and some indirect impact on soil health and some indirect impact on soil health and some of the policies we have focused on are of the policies we have focused on are of the policies we have focused on are the EU soil strategy of course that um the EU soil strategy of course that um the EU soil strategy of course that um is very important and it's also an is very important and it's also an is very important and it's also an important milestone um at the U level important milestone um at the U level important milestone um at the U level the biodiversity strategy the farm to the biodiversity strategy the farm to the biodiversity strategy the farm to fork strategy the EU EU forest strategy, fork strategy the EU EU forest strategy, fork strategy the EU EU forest strategy, the zero pollution strategy and EU the zero pollution strategy and EU the zero pollution strategy and EU climate law. So these are some of the climate law. So these are some of the climate law. So these are some of the policies um and strategies uh that um policies um and strategies uh that um policies um and strategies uh that um are included in the European Green Deal are included in the European Green Deal are included in the European Green Deal and that um we have analyzed. Uh then of and that um we have analyzed. Uh then of and that um we have analyzed. Uh then of course we um decided and we we thought course we um decided and we we thought course we um decided and we we thought that uh we had to focus in in this very that uh we had to focus in in this very that uh we had to focus in in this very first level of module four on the common first level of module four on the common first level of module four on the common agricultural policy um as it is one of agricultural policy um as it is one of agricultural policy um as it is one of the most important policies at European the most important policies at European the most important policies at European Union level that have a very strong Union level that have a very strong Union level that have a very strong impact on soil health. Um the common impact on soil health. Um the common impact on soil health. Um the common agricultural policy um came into effect agricultural policy um came into effect agricultural policy um came into effect in 2023 and will last until 2027. in 2023 and will last until 2027. in 2023 and will last until 2027. Um and uh also from a budget point of Um and uh also from a budget point of Um and uh also from a budget point of view is one of the most financially view is one of the most financially view is one of the most financially important policies at the revenue level important policies at the revenue level important policies at the revenue level and um so the module will and this level and um so the module will and this level and um so the module will and this level one will focus on the cap governance and one will focus on the cap governance and one will focus on the cap governance and structure. So explaining that the cap is structure. So explaining that the cap is structure. So explaining that the cap is organized and divided in two main organized and divided in two main organized and divided in two main pillars. So there is a first pillar uh pillars. So there is a first pillar uh pillars. So there is a first pillar uh that comprises direct payments and that comprises direct payments and that comprises direct payments and market measures and then there is also a market measures and then there is also a market measures and then there is also a second pillar that consists of rural second pillar that consists of rural second pillar that consists of rural development measures. Um and uh it we development measures. Um and uh it we development measures. Um and uh it we have also emphasized that there are some have also emphasized that there are some have also emphasized that there are some important innovation in the in this cap important innovation in the in this cap important innovation in the in this cap uh and one of the most important ones is uh and one of the most important ones is uh and one of the most important ones is the introduction of ecos schemes. Um the introduction of ecos schemes. Um the introduction of ecos schemes. Um another important factor from the another important factor from the another important factor from the governance point of view is the governance point of view is the governance point of view is the increased responsibility given to member increased responsibility given to member increased responsibility given to member states uh that have to develop an um a states uh that have to develop an um a states uh that have to develop an um a national capy plan to set their national capy plan to set their national capy plan to set their objectives and design the best ways to objectives and design the best ways to objectives and design the best ways to achieve those objectives. Uh then we achieve those objectives. Uh then we achieve those objectives. Uh then we have focused on the soil related have focused on the soil related have focused on the soil related objectives in the cap. Um some of them objectives in the cap. Um some of them objectives in the cap. Um some of them uh refer to enhancing carbon uh refer to enhancing carbon uh refer to enhancing carbon sequestration to improve climate change sequestration to improve climate change sequestration to improve climate change adaptation and mitigation. Um another um adaptation and mitigation. Um another um adaptation and mitigation. Um another um uh makes reference to improving the uh makes reference to improving the uh makes reference to improving the efficient management of natural efficient management of natural efficient management of natural resources and this include um this resources and this include um this resources and this include um this includes also soil. And a third one uh includes also soil. And a third one uh includes also soil. And a third one uh among the most important ones um is among the most important ones um is among the most important ones um is about halting and reversing biodiversity about halting and reversing biodiversity about halting and reversing biodiversity loss. And so biversity loss is a very uh loss. And so biversity loss is a very uh loss. And so biversity loss is a very uh important uh and central theme uh for important uh and central theme uh for important uh and central theme uh for soil um conservation and restoration. soil um conservation and restoration. soil um conservation and restoration. And then we focused on the CAP main And then we focused on the CAP main And then we focused on the CAP main instruments. So the enhanced instruments. So the enhanced instruments. So the enhanced conditionality framework uh that is to conditionality framework uh that is to conditionality framework uh that is to say the set of mandatory environmental say the set of mandatory environmental say the set of mandatory environmental requirements that farmers have to um uh requirements that farmers have to um uh requirements that farmers have to um uh comply with uh and follow to receive cap comply with uh and follow to receive cap comply with uh and follow to receive cap ma cap payments and the cap enhanced ma cap payments and the cap enhanced ma cap payments and the cap enhanced conditionality framework includes the conditionality framework includes the conditionality framework includes the statutory management requirements that statutory management requirements that statutory management requirements that are existing regulations and directives are existing regulations and directives are existing regulations and directives at the European Union level that have an at the European Union level that have an at the European Union level that have an impact on soil health such as the impact on soil health such as the impact on soil health such as the nitrates directive and then Um the nitrates directive and then Um the nitrates directive and then Um the enhanced conditionality framework also enhanced conditionality framework also enhanced conditionality framework also um includes the good agricultural and um includes the good agricultural and um includes the good agricultural and environmental conditions that the are environmental conditions that the are environmental conditions that the are mostly known as ges and um then of mostly known as ges and um then of mostly known as ges and um then of course we focused on ecos schemes which course we focused on ecos schemes which course we focused on ecos schemes which as I said are quite an innovation in the as I said are quite an innovation in the as I said are quite an innovation in the in in this cap and they are under pillar in in this cap and they are under pillar in in this cap and they are under pillar one uh and they reward farmers for one uh and they reward farmers for one uh and they reward farmers for voluntarily voluntarily voluntarily uh adopting sustainable management uh adopting sustainable management uh adopting sustainable management practices practices practices um that go beyond the mandatory um that go beyond the mandatory um that go beyond the mandatory requirements establish lished by the requirements establish lished by the requirements establish lished by the conditionality framework. And then we conditionality framework. And then we conditionality framework. And then we focused on the agri environment climate focused on the agri environment climate focused on the agri environment climate commitments that are also voluntary for commitments that are also voluntary for commitments that are also voluntary for farmers um to adopt but uh member states farmers um to adopt but uh member states farmers um to adopt but uh member states have to um have to um propose them like have to um have to um propose them like have to um have to um propose them like they they must be available for they they must be available for they they must be available for available for farmers and they available for farmers and they available for farmers and they compensate uh farmers for uh compensate uh farmers for uh compensate uh farmers for uh implementing long-term environmental implementing long-term environmental implementing long-term environmental practices. And finally uh maybe it's practices. And finally uh maybe it's practices. And finally uh maybe it's just just to say that we also focus very just just to say that we also focus very just just to say that we also focus very much on on analyzing to what extent the much on on analyzing to what extent the much on on analyzing to what extent the cap is aligned with the uh with the cap is aligned with the uh with the cap is aligned with the uh with the objectives uh of the green deal and objectives uh of the green deal and objectives uh of the green deal and trying to also um trying to also um trying to also um uh put forward some recommendations. So uh put forward some recommendations. So uh put forward some recommendations. So now the cap this cap and and and the now the cap this cap and and and the now the cap this cap and and and the next one uh might be more aligned with next one uh might be more aligned with next one uh might be more aligned with the green deal objectives especially the green deal objectives especially the green deal objectives especially with the ones related to soil. Okay. Thank you Dario. Uh just uh sorry Okay. Thank you Dario. Uh just uh sorry Okay. Thank you Dario. Uh just uh sorry I forgot to to to tell you uh before if I forgot to to to tell you uh before if I forgot to to to tell you uh before if you have a question that we will treat you have a question that we will treat you have a question that we will treat this in the last 15 minutes of the this in the last 15 minutes of the this in the last 15 minutes of the webinar um you can write in the chat and webinar um you can write in the chat and webinar um you can write in the chat and then uh later we will read and answer then uh later we will read and answer then uh later we will read and answer you. Okay. So this was the material for you. Okay. So this was the material for you. Okay. So this was the material for the second uh for the first level of the the second uh for the first level of the the second uh for the first level of the uh the content for the first level of uh the content for the first level of uh the content for the first level of the model. the model. the model. uh the level one is being released now uh the level one is being released now uh the level one is being released now today and then the second level will be today and then the second level will be today and then the second level will be released in the 1 month around 1 month released in the 1 month around 1 month released in the 1 month around 1 month one month and a half. So the content um one month and a half. So the content um one month and a half. So the content um also is dividing a soy advisory and poly also is dividing a soy advisory and poly also is dividing a soy advisory and poly sections. So the soy devisor uh we will sections. So the soy devisor uh we will sections. So the soy devisor uh we will treat more about the treat more about the treat more about the uh about the soy devisor service and the uh about the soy devisor service and the uh about the soy devisor service and the improving the sex the assess to them and improving the sex the assess to them and improving the sex the assess to them and the market also the commercializing the the market also the commercializing the the market also the commercializing the soy diversity service uh the increasing soy diversity service uh the increasing soy diversity service uh the increasing competitiveness about this soy advisory competitiveness about this soy advisory competitiveness about this soy advisory and what are the cooperation and what are the cooperation and what are the cooperation possibilities so we are developing this possibilities so we are developing this possibilities so we are developing this material and we'll be releasing in one material and we'll be releasing in one material and we'll be releasing in one month and also the second topics uh sec month and also the second topics uh sec month and also the second topics uh sec topic of this section is the is more topic of this section is the is more topic of this section is the is more will be more um uh dynamic exercise and will be more um uh dynamic exercise and will be more um uh dynamic exercise and then you you show us what are the then you you show us what are the then you you show us what are the existing soy advisory service in your existing soy advisory service in your existing soy advisory service in your country. So you you uh show uh us what country. So you you uh show uh us what country. So you you uh show uh us what are the p the public uh so service uh in are the p the public uh so service uh in are the p the public uh so service uh in the private se sector and the public the private se sector and the public the private se sector and the public sector and also the mix between them. Um Dario, yes. Uh regarding the the the Um Dario, yes. Uh regarding the the the Um Dario, yes. Uh regarding the the the the policy part of this level two, uh we the policy part of this level two, uh we the policy part of this level two, uh we focused on uh very much on the natural focused on uh very much on the natural focused on uh very much on the natural restoration regulation that was adopted restoration regulation that was adopted restoration regulation that was adopted last year and can have uh a very strong last year and can have uh a very strong last year and can have uh a very strong and direct impact on on soil health. And and direct impact on on soil health. And and direct impact on on soil health. And um I want just to give you some what um I want just to give you some what um I want just to give you some what could be the learning outcomes of this could be the learning outcomes of this could be the learning outcomes of this second level that is understanding the second level that is understanding the second level that is understanding the goals the legal structure and uh and the goals the legal structure and uh and the goals the legal structure and uh and the importance of this regulation. Um importance of this regulation. Um importance of this regulation. Um identify key restoration targets for identify key restoration targets for identify key restoration targets for terrestrial urban agricultural and terrestrial urban agricultural and terrestrial urban agricultural and forest ecosystems. Um including some forest ecosystems. Um including some forest ecosystems. Um including some legally binding deadlines for action for legally binding deadlines for action for legally binding deadlines for action for member states. um explaining the role of member states. um explaining the role of member states. um explaining the role of soil restoration, petland rewetting, soil restoration, petland rewetting, soil restoration, petland rewetting, sustainable agriculture and forestry sustainable agriculture and forestry sustainable agriculture and forestry practices uh in achieving by in practices uh in achieving by in practices uh in achieving by in achieving biodiversity and land achieving biodiversity and land achieving biodiversity and land irradation uh neutrality objectives. And irradation uh neutrality objectives. And irradation uh neutrality objectives. And finally also analyzing finally also analyzing finally also analyzing um the structure and the content of the um the structure and the content of the um the structure and the content of the national restoration plans that member national restoration plans that member national restoration plans that member states are currently drafting. they have states are currently drafting. they have states are currently drafting. they have time uh till uh if I'm not wrong the 1 time uh till uh if I'm not wrong the 1 time uh till uh if I'm not wrong the 1 September of 2026. So this is uh the September of 2026. So this is uh the September of 2026. So this is uh the next year will be a very crucial period next year will be a very crucial period next year will be a very crucial period for for member states to draft their uh for for member states to draft their uh for for member states to draft their uh restoration plans and uh they will also restoration plans and uh they will also restoration plans and uh they will also need to highlight what extent these need to highlight what extent these need to highlight what extent these plans are integrated and aligned with plans are integrated and aligned with plans are integrated and aligned with the cap plans uh because this will be the cap plans uh because this will be the cap plans uh because this will be important also from a financial point of important also from a financial point of important also from a financial point of view. uh so we will also explain the view. uh so we will also explain the view. uh so we will also explain the importance I mean and talk about the importance I mean and talk about the importance I mean and talk about the importance of policy coherence uh among importance of policy coherence uh among importance of policy coherence uh among these policies because at the end of the these policies because at the end of the these policies because at the end of the day all these policies have to talk to day all these policies have to talk to day all these policies have to talk to each other the European green deal they each other the European green deal they each other the European green deal they cap the natural restoration regulation cap the natural restoration regulation cap the natural restoration regulation um as for now we have not uh yet focused um as for now we have not uh yet focused um as for now we have not uh yet focused on the soil monitoring and resilience on the soil monitoring and resilience on the soil monitoring and resilience directive because even though we know directive because even though we know directive because even though we know that the final text uh was approved in that the final text uh was approved in that the final text uh was approved in last April uh after a dialogue uh last April uh after a dialogue uh last April uh after a dialogue uh between the commission the council and between the commission the council and between the commission the council and the parliament at the EU level. We do the parliament at the EU level. We do the parliament at the EU level. We do not have the final text yet and we hope not have the final text yet and we hope not have the final text yet and we hope to have it soon. And so um but this is to have it soon. And so um but this is to have it soon. And so um but this is something that um might be discussed in something that um might be discussed in something that um might be discussed in in the in the next level. Um in the in the next level. Um in the in the next level. Um and then another thing we thought it was and then another thing we thought it was and then another thing we thought it was important to focus on was where the important to focus on was where the important to focus on was where the policies addressing soil pollution at policies addressing soil pollution at policies addressing soil pollution at the European Union level. Um because as the European Union level. Um because as the European Union level. Um because as J said earlier uh one of the main J said earlier uh one of the main J said earlier uh one of the main objectives of this part of the module is objectives of this part of the module is objectives of this part of the module is to understand how these policies support to understand how these policies support to understand how these policies support or hinder the implementation of the or hinder the implementation of the or hinder the implementation of the naturebased solutions covered by the MB naturebased solutions covered by the MB naturebased solutions covered by the MB soil project and um policies addressing soil project and um policies addressing soil project and um policies addressing soil pollution can have a very strong soil pollution can have a very strong soil pollution can have a very strong impact on on uh on bio on on on whether impact on on uh on bio on on on whether impact on on uh on bio on on on whether uh on like on on whether these policies uh on like on on whether these policies uh on like on on whether these policies support bio remediation for instance. support bio remediation for instance. support bio remediation for instance. or or green infrastructure. Uh there are or or green infrastructure. Uh there are or or green infrastructure. Uh there are two um naturebased solutions covered by two um naturebased solutions covered by two um naturebased solutions covered by by this project. Uh so for instance just by this project. Uh so for instance just by this project. Uh so for instance just and I I'll give you just some examples. and I I'll give you just some examples. and I I'll give you just some examples. Um we will Um we will Um we will describe the main objectives and and describe the main objectives and and describe the main objectives and and mechanisms of the environmental ability mechanisms of the environmental ability mechanisms of the environmental ability directive in preventing and remedying directive in preventing and remedying directive in preventing and remedying soil contamination. Um, we tried to soil contamination. Um, we tried to soil contamination. Um, we tried to summarize the obligations imposed on on summarize the obligations imposed on on summarize the obligations imposed on on on operators by the industrial emissions on operators by the industrial emissions on operators by the industrial emissions directive that has recently been uh directive that has recently been uh directive that has recently been uh updated to prevent, monitor and updated to prevent, monitor and updated to prevent, monitor and remediate soil pollution from industrial remediate soil pollution from industrial remediate soil pollution from industrial and intensive livestock activities and and intensive livestock activities and and intensive livestock activities and um understand uh how the waste framework um understand uh how the waste framework um understand uh how the waste framework directive and landfill directive seek to directive and landfill directive seek to directive and landfill directive seek to prevent soil contamination. Um analyze prevent soil contamination. Um analyze prevent soil contamination. Um analyze how the water framework framework how the water framework framework how the water framework framework directive addresses diffuse pollution directive addresses diffuse pollution directive addresses diffuse pollution and how it is related with sustainable and how it is related with sustainable and how it is related with sustainable agricultural practices and finally agricultural practices and finally agricultural practices and finally evaluate the soil protection aspects of evaluate the soil protection aspects of evaluate the soil protection aspects of the sewage sludge directive the sewage sludge directive the sewage sludge directive including uh we could say the limits on including uh we could say the limits on including uh we could say the limits on for instance heavy metal concentrations for instance heavy metal concentrations for instance heavy metal concentrations in soil uh and sludge uh that are used in soil uh and sludge uh that are used in soil uh and sludge uh that are used in agriculture. So these are some of the in agriculture. So these are some of the in agriculture. So these are some of the topics covered um in uh in uh in this topics covered um in uh in uh in this topics covered um in uh in uh in this part dedicated to policies addressing so part dedicated to policies addressing so part dedicated to policies addressing so pollution. pollution. pollution. Okay. Thank you. Okay. Thank you. Okay. Thank you. So um in the level three and the more So um in the level three and the more So um in the level three and the more advanced model so we have a more uh a advanced model so we have a more uh a advanced model so we have a more uh a complex not a comp yeah kind of complex complex not a comp yeah kind of complex complex not a comp yeah kind of complex uh or dense content. So for the soy uh or dense content. So for the soy uh or dense content. So for the soy diverse section we will be uh divided in diverse section we will be uh divided in diverse section we will be uh divided in uh three uh topics. The first one will uh three uh topics. The first one will uh three uh topics. The first one will uh talk about employment opportunities uh talk about employment opportunities uh talk about employment opportunities for a soy advisor. Uh what are the role for a soy advisor. Uh what are the role for a soy advisor. Uh what are the role of so advisor in private sector which of so advisor in private sector which of so advisor in private sector which kind of business opportunities we have. kind of business opportunities we have. kind of business opportunities we have. Uh the second topic uh business model Uh the second topic uh business model Uh the second topic uh business model development uh opportunities. development uh opportunities. development uh opportunities. So analyze the possibilities of So analyze the possibilities of So analyze the possibilities of obtaining green certificates related to obtaining green certificates related to obtaining green certificates related to carbon farming. carbon farming. carbon farming. uh and the third topic is soil quality uh and the third topic is soil quality uh and the third topic is soil quality assessment and land value. So how does assessment and land value. So how does assessment and land value. So how does the soil quality affect the value of the soil quality affect the value of the soil quality affect the value of land in the contest of trade sale and land in the contest of trade sale and land in the contest of trade sale and lease and also the risks of land lease and also the risks of land lease and also the risks of land concentration by global investors. So concentration by global investors. So concentration by global investors. So this will be uh of course will be more this will be uh of course will be more this will be uh of course will be more detailed but for now is uh uh uh these detailed but for now is uh uh uh these detailed but for now is uh uh uh these are the main topics that will be covered are the main topics that will be covered are the main topics that will be covered by this uh level in this section the by this uh level in this section the by this uh level in this section the soil advisor. Yeah and regarding policy soil advisor. Yeah and regarding policy soil advisor. Yeah and regarding policy um as I was saying we hope to have the um as I was saying we hope to have the um as I was saying we hope to have the final text of the soil monitoring final text of the soil monitoring final text of the soil monitoring directive quite soon even though we directive quite soon even though we directive quite soon even though we don't have um uh a final date yes yet. don't have um uh a final date yes yet. don't have um uh a final date yes yet. Um and uh so the our idea would be to Um and uh so the our idea would be to Um and uh so the our idea would be to analyze the most recent compromise or analyze the most recent compromise or analyze the most recent compromise or final text. Um and to evaluate whether final text. Um and to evaluate whether final text. Um and to evaluate whether the directive ensures strong governance, the directive ensures strong governance, the directive ensures strong governance, effective indicators and enforcability effective indicators and enforcability effective indicators and enforcability and um and to assess the alignment of uh and um and to assess the alignment of uh and um and to assess the alignment of uh this uh soil health law uh we might call this uh soil health law uh we might call this uh soil health law uh we might call it uh with other environmental it uh with other environmental it uh with other environmental frameworks um such as the bodiversity frameworks um such as the bodiversity frameworks um such as the bodiversity strategy and water framework directive. strategy and water framework directive. strategy and water framework directive. And um a final text could be available And um a final text could be available And um a final text could be available pretty soon. And so this could be part pretty soon. And so this could be part pretty soon. And so this could be part of and should be part of of level three. of and should be part of of level three. of and should be part of of level three. And uh by we also hope to have pretty And uh by we also hope to have pretty And uh by we also hope to have pretty soon the water resilience strategy uh soon the water resilience strategy uh soon the water resilience strategy uh that the EU is currently developing. Um that the EU is currently developing. Um that the EU is currently developing. Um and European Commission is expected to and European Commission is expected to and European Commission is expected to present the strategy um by the end of present the strategy um by the end of present the strategy um by the end of the summer. Um but we hope to have some the summer. Um but we hope to have some the summer. Um but we hope to have some some um preliminary text available that some um preliminary text available that some um preliminary text available that we can analyze and and present it to you we can analyze and and present it to you we can analyze and and present it to you in in level three and also give some in in level three and also give some in in level three and also give some more information on carbon on the carbon more information on carbon on the carbon more information on carbon on the carbon removals and carbon farming regulation removals and carbon farming regulation removals and carbon farming regulation uh to understand what it brings to the uh to understand what it brings to the uh to understand what it brings to the table. Um clarify how soil carbon table. Um clarify how soil carbon table. Um clarify how soil carbon sequestration is defined, measured and sequestration is defined, measured and sequestration is defined, measured and verified. um assess the environmental verified. um assess the environmental verified. um assess the environmental integrity integrity integrity of carbon farming schemes and also of carbon farming schemes and also of carbon farming schemes and also explore which is always a very relevant explore which is always a very relevant explore which is always a very relevant theme um to what extent this um new theme um to what extent this um new theme um to what extent this um new regulation is integrated and aligned regulation is integrated and aligned regulation is integrated and aligned with the with the cap funding or so if with the with the cap funding or so if with the with the cap funding or so if there are some overlaps with for there are some overlaps with for there are some overlaps with for instance ecos schemes and how this could instance ecos schemes and how this could instance ecos schemes and how this could be managed. This could be some of the be managed. This could be some of the be managed. This could be some of the topics to be explored in level level topics to be explored in level level topics to be explored in level level three. And then as Jo said this uh level three. And then as Jo said this uh level three. And then as Jo said this uh level uh will be uh a good amount of time in uh will be uh a good amount of time in uh will be uh a good amount of time in this level will be dedicated to this level will be dedicated to this level will be dedicated to exercises. So we will ask you to um to exercises. So we will ask you to um to exercises. So we will ask you to um to maybe analyze for instance this could be maybe analyze for instance this could be maybe analyze for instance this could be one of the exercises the um CAP national one of the exercises the um CAP national one of the exercises the um CAP national strategy plan in your country. Uh strategy plan in your country. Uh strategy plan in your country.

So you click here and then we have the first page that and explain we have the first page that and explain we have the first page that and explain here a brief introduction that this here a brief introduction that this here a brief introduction that this model will explore knowledge of business model will explore knowledge of business model will explore knowledge of business models align with soil health and so models align with soil health and so models align with soil health and so related regulations and policy related regulations and policy related regulations and policy frameworks. frameworks. frameworks. Okay. So then you click in the level Okay. So then you click in the level Okay. So then you click in the level one. one. one. So this is the main page of the the So this is the main page of the the So this is the main page of the the level one of our model. So this is the level one of our model. So this is the level one of our model. So this is the structure. So in the g general section structure. So in the g general section structure. So in the g general section uh you have here the announcements with uh you have here the announcements with uh you have here the announcements with you have a updates or information to you have a updates or information to you have a updates or information to show you. So you receive some show you. So you receive some show you. So you receive some notification and then you can access the notification and then you can access the notification and then you can access the announcements here. announcements here. announcements here. So the this level as I told you before So the this level as I told you before So the this level as I told you before is divided in these two main section and is divided in these two main section and is divided in these two main section and each section then when you click we have each section then when you click we have each section then when you click we have all the content here. Okay. So this is all the content here. Okay. So this is all the content here. Okay. So this is the how is structure. So the first for the how is structure. So the first for the how is structure. So the first for example like just to show you here uh example like just to show you here uh example like just to show you here uh the first content is the learn outcomes the first content is the learn outcomes the first content is the learn outcomes just to inform you what are you going to just to inform you what are you going to just to inform you what are you going to learn in this level. This I I I read learn in this level. This I I I read learn in this level. This I I I read told you before in the in the slides told you before in the in the slides told you before in the in the slides and then for example we have uh the and then for example we have uh the and then for example we have uh the introduction. So here introduction about introduction. So here introduction about introduction. So here introduction about the soy devisor service. What is what the soy devisor service. What is what the soy devisor service. What is what are the soy de service? What is the soy are the soy de service? What is the soy are the soy de service? What is the soy devices? What is business models? So, devices? What is business models? So, devices? What is business models? So, and also some illustrations. And then we have for example to not get And then we have for example to not get And then we have for example to not get lost, we have if you saw already content lost, we have if you saw already content lost, we have if you saw already content will appear here done. Uh if you didn't will appear here done. Uh if you didn't will appear here done. Uh if you didn't see yet will appear here to do. So just see yet will appear here to do. So just see yet will appear here to do. So just to in case you forget what you learn or to in case you forget what you learn or to in case you forget what you learn or not. So and then we have the this the not. So and then we have the this the not. So and then we have the this the public funding. Um here's the content. public funding. Um here's the content. public funding. Um here's the content. So for example the cup so everything So for example the cup so everything So for example the cup so everything about the cup what is necessary to learn about the cup what is necessary to learn about the cup what is necessary to learn about the cup the basic knowledge and about the cup the basic knowledge and about the cup the basic knowledge and then in the final of this section for then in the final of this section for then in the final of this section for example the public funding we have a example the public funding we have a example the public funding we have a quiz. So this quiz how structure this quiz. So this quiz how structure this quiz. So this quiz how structure this quiz. So for example you come here in quiz. So for example you come here in quiz. So for example you come here in the the the uh the questions about the quiz about uh the questions about the quiz about uh the questions about the quiz about the sections is for example the question the sections is for example the question the sections is for example the question is based on knowledge acquire and the is based on knowledge acquire and the is based on knowledge acquire and the public fund section choose the correct public fund section choose the correct public fund section choose the correct answer. So then we have a one right answer. So then we have a one right answer. So then we have a one right answer. So I will just uh answer. So I will just uh answer. So I will just uh have a few uh guess here just to show have a few uh guess here just to show have a few uh guess here just to show you what what is the final out output you what what is the final out output you what what is the final out output after you answer everything. So for example when you answer all the So for example when you answer all the So for example when you answer all the questions then you submit the your questions then you submit the your questions then you submit the your answer and then we have here of course answer and then we have here of course answer and then we have here of course nothing's right. So you have uh which nothing's right. So you have uh which nothing's right. So you have uh which questions you were right, what what was questions you were right, what what was questions you were right, what what was the right answers, what was the wrong the right answers, what was the wrong the right answers, what was the wrong answers and then when you answer some answers and then when you answer some answers and then when you answer some wrong questions then you have here the wrong questions then you have here the wrong questions then you have here the system will tell you what are the system will tell you what are the system will tell you what are the correct and explain here what are the correct and explain here what are the correct and explain here what are the correct. Okay. So this is our final uh correct. Okay. So this is our final uh correct. Okay. So this is our final uh output of the quiz. So come back again to the level. So the So come back again to the level. So the So come back again to the level. So the we have here the private funding all the we have here the private funding all the we have here the private funding all the same. In the end we have a quiz okay to same. In the end we have a quiz okay to same. In the end we have a quiz okay to show what you learn about this basic show what you learn about this basic show what you learn about this basic knowledge and then in the reference knowledge and then in the reference knowledge and then in the reference section we have all the reference use it section we have all the reference use it section we have all the reference use it to create this level I mean this to create this level I mean this to create this level I mean this section. So we have also the link here. section. So we have also the link here. section. So we have also the link here. So is uh to you if you want to learn So is uh to you if you want to learn So is uh to you if you want to learn more. So then you can assess these more. So then you can assess these more. So then you can assess these materials for soy polace the structure is for soy polace the structure is for soy polace the structure is basically the same. So we follow all the basically the same. So we follow all the basically the same. So we follow all the what we were presented before. So for what we were presented before. So for what we were presented before. So for example the quiz can be a little example the quiz can be a little example the quiz can be a little different. For example here the quiz of different. For example here the quiz of different. For example here the quiz of the poly section we have uh the the poly section we have uh the the poly section we have uh the questions are read in the here. So we questions are read in the here. So we questions are read in the here. So we have different questions but also it's have different questions but also it's have different questions but also it's just one right but and also we have uh just one right but and also we have uh just one right but and also we have uh and true or false uh style let's say and true or false uh style let's say and true or false uh style let's say like that. Okay so this is our uh like that. Okay so this is our uh like that. Okay so this is our uh quizzes. quizzes. quizzes. So also in the end of each uh each topic So also in the end of each uh each topic So also in the end of each uh each topic we have uh a quiz and also the we have uh a quiz and also the we have uh a quiz and also the reference. reference. reference. Well, this is uh I think is very simple Well, this is uh I think is very simple Well, this is uh I think is very simple to assess and navigate between this uh to assess and navigate between this uh to assess and navigate between this uh this topics. So to learn and understand this topics. So to learn and understand this topics. So to learn and understand every topic that we have here. So for every topic that we have here. So for every topic that we have here. So for example schemes in the polish framework. example schemes in the polish framework. example schemes in the polish framework. So is very uh dynamic in simple. So we So is very uh dynamic in simple. So we So is very uh dynamic in simple.

Um about the uh the question from Morg about the uh the question from Morg about the uh the question from Morg Osman. Thank you for the question. Uh I Osman. Thank you for the question. Uh I Osman. Thank you for the question. Uh I think that think that think that uh generally speaking the the the uh generally speaking the the the uh generally speaking the the the consortium the the behind the ambition consortium the the behind the ambition consortium the the behind the ambition project is always open uh for project is always open uh for project is always open uh for collaborations with other EU funded collaborations with other EU funded collaborations with other EU funded projects that could be life or horizon projects that could be life or horizon projects that could be life or horizon Europe. We always seek to uh find new Europe. We always seek to uh find new Europe. We always seek to uh find new ways to collaborate with other projects ways to collaborate with other projects ways to collaborate with other projects and um and to make sure that synergies and um and to make sure that synergies and um and to make sure that synergies between projects are taken advantage of between projects are taken advantage of between projects are taken advantage of uh and leveraged uh because many times uh and leveraged uh because many times uh and leveraged uh because many times there are there is a there are there is a there are there is a we can say galaxy of of of projects out we can say galaxy of of of projects out we can say galaxy of of of projects out there that do not necessarily speak to there that do not necessarily speak to there that do not necessarily speak to each other. and if we can improve um each other. and if we can improve um each other. and if we can improve um the the collaboration between projects the the collaboration between projects the the collaboration between projects that uh many times focus on very similar that uh many times focus on very similar that uh many times focus on very similar topics. uh but do not but uh I mean I topics. uh but do not but uh I mean I topics. uh but do not but uh I mean I think this would simply be great and think this would simply be great and think this would simply be great and sometimes the the great challenge is uh sometimes the the great challenge is uh sometimes the the great challenge is uh to be aware of the other projects uh to be aware of the other projects uh to be aware of the other projects uh focusing on similar topics and once uh focusing on similar topics and once uh focusing on similar topics and once uh uh we know which which projects focus on uh we know which which projects focus on uh we know which which projects focus on similar topics we try to collaborate similar topics we try to collaborate similar topics we try to collaborate with them and we are doing that in with with them and we are doing that in with with them and we are doing that in with the rise Europe projects trying to the rise Europe projects trying to the rise Europe projects trying to collaborate with projects like soil collaborate with projects like soil collaborate with projects like soil guard like prep soil um and um and guard like prep soil um and um and guard like prep soil um and um and others that that uh uh fall um uh within others that that uh uh fall um uh within others that that uh uh fall um uh within the the broader umbrella of European the the broader umbrella of European the the broader umbrella of European funded funded projects on on on soil funded funded projects on on on soil funded funded projects on on on soil soil soil bodiversity soil soil bodiversity soil soil bodiversity um soil monitoring and and so on and so um soil monitoring and and so on and so um soil monitoring and and so on and so forth.

so the first uh module is about soil and natur first uh module is about soil and natur first uh module is about soil and natur based solution and the big objective of based solution and the big objective of based solution and the big objective of this module is this question simple this module is this question simple this module is this question simple question how to regenerate soils in question how to regenerate soils in question how to regenerate soils in Europe and maybe we can not speak only Europe and maybe we can not speak only Europe and maybe we can not speak only about Europe through the implementation about Europe through the implementation about Europe through the implementation of natur based solution uh so or to of natur based solution uh so or to of natur based solution uh so or to concretely uh have pragmatic knowledge concretely uh have pragmatic knowledge concretely uh have pragmatic knowledge to uh promote to develop to to have to uh promote to develop to to have to uh promote to develop to to have healthier soil uh in the different healthier soil uh in the different healthier soil uh in the different sector sector sector in the different area and we in the different area and we in the different area and we will speak about that just will speak about that just will speak about that just after uh this module is uh structur with after uh this module is uh structur with after uh this module is uh structur with three levels so we have the first level three levels so we have the first level three levels so we have the first level about Essential Knowledge uh common for about Essential Knowledge uh common for about Essential Knowledge uh common for all the sector and second module with all the sector and second module with all the sector and second module with specific knowledge per sector and then a specific knowledge per sector and then a specific knowledge per sector and then a third module where we are asking the third module where we are asking the third module where we are asking the people to make uh deeper exercis also people to make uh deeper exercis also people to make uh deeper exercis also exercise directly on the field and to exercise directly on the field and to exercise directly on the field and to have practices and have case study to have practices and have case study to have practices and have case

Europe scale to facilitate your diagnostic of the soil you will your diagnostic of the soil you will your diagnostic of the soil you will work on uh so then there is a third part work on uh so then there is a third part work on uh so then there is a third part in this level one about natur Bas in this level one about natur Bas in this level one about natur Bas solution what is natur BAS solution we solution what is natur BAS solution we solution what is natur BAS solution we have also a portfolio of natur based have also a portfolio of natur based have also a portfolio of natur based solution and and there is a a global solution and and there is a a global solution and and there is a a global standard developed by the ucn so you standard developed by the ucn so you standard developed by the ucn so you know it's a know it's a know it's a big agency at it's an association big agency at it's an association big agency at it's an association at the international scale promote at the international scale promote at the international scale promote biodiversity and they have developed a biodiversity and they have developed a biodiversity and they have developed a standard for natur B solution and you standard for natur B solution and you standard for natur B solution and you will learn a little bit about that to will learn a little bit about that to will learn a little bit about that to assess uh the impact and the quality of assess uh the impact and the quality of assess uh the impact and the quality of the natur Bas the natur Bas the natur Bas solution uh and the last part is about solution uh and the last part is about solution uh and the last part is about framework to give advice because the aim framework to give advice because the aim framework to give advice because the aim of this project you know is a soil of this project you know is a soil of this project you know is a soil advisor so we want to give also you some advisor so we want to give also you

and you can see I was uh just the course and you can see I was uh just before on this page and before on this page and before on this page and it looks like I read everything so the it looks like I read everything so the it looks like I read everything so the it marks the page as done basically so it marks the page as done basically so it marks the page as done basically so you can see where you are uh of course you can see where you are uh of course you can see where you are uh of course when you disconnect and come back to the when you disconnect and come back to the when you disconnect and come back to the site you can easily find where you left site you can easily find where you left site you can easily find where you left the course and if I go back to my course course and if I go back to my course course and if I go back to my course here we can see I'm now registered to here we can see I'm now registered to here we can see I'm now registered to the level one as well and I'll just um the level one as well and I'll just um the level one as well and I'll just um show you quickly level two and level show you quickly level two and level show you quickly level two and level three so same kind three so same kind three so same kind of um design but here you can see the of um design but here you can see the of um design but here you can see the different uh sectors that different uh sectors that different uh sectors that are um shown and as vinent was telling are um shown and as vinent was telling are um shown and as vinent was telling you for level two and level three we are you for level two and level three we are you for level two and level three we are um asking you to um asking you to um asking you to choose uh which sectors you want to choose uh which sectors you want to choose uh which sectors you want to focus on basically so you have a focus on basically so you have a focus on basically so you have a dedicated dedicated dedicated page for this basically to page for this basically to page for this basically to explain what we expect from you so it's explain what we expect from you so it's explain what we expect from you so it's either the agriculture sector only either the agriculture sector only either the agriculture sector only because it's a big one or you choose because it's a big one or you choose because it's a big one or you choose between uh you choose two between the between uh you choose two between the between uh you choose two between the other ones available for now Forest po other ones available for now Forest po other ones available for now Forest po culture and blue and green culture and blue and green culture and blue and green infrastructure um bio remediation is infrastructure um bio remediation is

available so you can keep that in mind available so you can keep that in mind and the same uh the same thing applies and the same uh the same thing applies and the same uh the same thing applies for level three for level three for level three basically basically basically um but you can you can work um but you can you can work um but you can you can work uh you can continue on the same sectors uh you can continue on the same sectors uh you can continue on the same sectors of as in level two or you can also work of as in level two or you can also work of as in level two or you can also work on new ones if you if you on new ones if you if you on new ones if you if you want um that's really up to you and also that V was explaining um you and also that V was explaining um you and also that V was explaining um you can can can see for the level three that we see for the level three that we see for the level three that we require full soy diagnostic so this one require full soy diagnostic so this one require full soy diagnostic so this one is level three is really practical one is level three is really practical one is level three is really practical one with uh not so much knowledge now but with uh not so much knowledge now but with uh not so much knowledge now but more practical uh exercise and also more practical uh exercise and also more practical uh exercise and also onfield

a a um oh we also have a a question how do we measure changes over question how do we measure changes over question how do we measure changes over time in soil Health time in soil Health time in soil Health uh that's that's problem it depends on uh that's that's problem it depends on uh that's that's problem it depends on what you want to measure that's also what you want to measure that's also what you want to measure that's also something uh we discuss in the in the something uh we discuss in the in the something uh we discuss in the in the modules that changes in in soil are modules that changes in in soil are modules that changes in in soil are going very slowly and a lot of things we going very slowly and a lot of things we going very slowly and a lot of things we can measure uh we can measure very um can measure uh we can measure very um can measure uh we can measure very um precise so it takes a precise so it takes a precise so it takes a kind of large changes before we can kind of large changes before we can kind of large changes before we can really really measure um precisely uh really really measure um precisely uh really really measure um precisely uh well how much of for example the organic well how much of for example the organic well how much of for example the organic better content is H is uh changing is it better content is H is uh changing is it better content is H is uh changing is it going up is it going down and it only going up is it going down and it only going up is it going down and it only goes with uh a few tenth of percent uh goes with uh a few tenth of percent uh goes with uh a few tenth of percent uh in like a decade or maybe in in a few in like a decade or maybe in in a few in like a decade or maybe in in a few years uh but it's also uh uh hard to years uh but it's also uh uh hard to years uh but it's also uh uh hard to measure very precisely so it's it takes measure very precisely so it's it takes measure very precisely so it's it takes some time to uh to monitor um changes in soil uh there's also a question why is soil uh there's also a question why is soil uh there's also a question why is level two only focusing on cof crops and level two only focusing on cof crops and level two only focusing on cof crops and organic fertilizer for agriculture in organic fertilizer for agriculture in organic fertilizer for

numbers that's what I different economic numbers that's what I what I meant because it is very what I meant because it is very what I meant because it is very different per country but uh Thomas is different per country but uh Thomas is different per country but uh Thomas is also already showing the triple also already showing the triple also already showing the triple performance Vincent was talking about performance Vincent was talking about performance Vincent was talking about and uh we use a a version like that like and uh we use a a version like that like and uh we use a a version like that like Vincent told to to make the level three Vincent told to to make the level three Vincent told to to make the level three uh uh uh uh reports so uh for your own own uh reports so uh for your own own uh reports so uh for your own own country and for the own situation of the farmer thank you farmer thank you farmer thank you Vincent V if I can complete that a Vincent V if I can complete that a Vincent V if I can complete that a little bit there will be in a fourth little bit there will be in a fourth little bit there will be in a fourth module I mean so you have this first uh module I mean so you have this first uh module I mean so you have this first uh module that is really focusing on soil module that is really focusing on soil module that is really focusing on soil Health the fourth module of the academy Health the fourth module of the academy Health the fourth module of the academy will focus as Karen says it's really will focus as Karen says it's really will focus as Karen says it's really hard to do specifics forever country but hard to do specifics forever country but hard to do specifics forever country but the fourth module will focus overall on the fourth module will focus overall on the fourth module will focus overall on business models and ideas around the business models and ideas around the business models and ideas around the economics of soil health so uh it will economics of soil health so uh it will economics of soil health so uh it will be coming in about a year's time though be coming in about a year's time though be coming in about a year's time though so you can do all this and sort of like so you can do all this and sort of like so you can do all this and sort of like start working on this and thinking start working on this and thinking start working on this and thinking asking your questions because any asking your questions because any asking your questions because any questions that you have around it can questions that you have around it can questions that you have around it can inform the way that we develop module inform the way that we develop module inform the way that we develop module number four uh so there are new question about four uh so there are new question about four uh so there are new question about the vest uh score yeah I think it's a bit specific so I'll yeah I think it's a bit specific so I'll yeah I think it's a bit specific so I'll take take take it it's nice and also about uh earthworm it it's nice and also about uh earthworm it it's nice and also about uh earthworm for sure we know that earthworm it's for sure we know that earthworm it's for sure we know that earthworm it's really important indicator of the soil really important indicator of the soil really important indicator of the soil Els but uh we with our experience we Els but uh we with our experience we Els but uh we with our experience we have already make a lot of uh uh samples have already make a lot of uh uh samples have already make a lot of uh uh samples of earthworm with a simple uh techniques of earthworm with a simple uh techniques of earthworm with a simple uh techniques in order to to simplify the way to in order to to simplify the way to in order to to simplify the way to assess the number of Earth swor present assess the number of Earth swor present assess the number of Earth swor present on the soil and the technique is on the soil and the technique is on the soil and the technique is available for every kind of soil not not available for every kind of soil not not available for every kind of soil not not only only only agriculture uh but we know that the the agriculture uh but we know that the the agriculture uh but we know that the the technique using mustard in order to technique using mustard in order to technique using mustard in order to see which population is there and to see which population is there and to see which population is there and to collect earthworm one after one after collect earthworm one after one after collect earthworm one after one after sprayed mustard on the uh on the the on sprayed mustard on the uh on the the on sprayed mustard on the uh on the the on the field the field the field uh the method is not really uh the method is not really uh the method is not really um representative of the soil El because um representative of the soil El because um representative of the soil El because it depend a lot of the uh current it depend a lot of the uh current it depend a lot of the uh current condition so the number of asor you will condition so the number of asor you will condition so the number of asor you will collect depend of on the dry of your collect depend of on the dry of your collect depend of on the dry of your soil on soil on soil on the uh also on the season so each season the uh also on the season so each season the uh also on the season so each season has a different activity of the so it's has a different activity of the so it's has a different activity of the so it's really for us a nice way really uh really for us a nice way really uh really for us a nice way really uh concrete way to understand the soil to concrete way to understand the soil to concrete way to understand the soil to see the SW so it's really pedagogical see the SW so it's really pedagogical see the SW so it's really pedagogical test but it's not so easy to use it uh test but it's not so easy to use it uh test but it's not so easy to use it uh to to to assess simply the soil else it's one one assess simply the soil else it's one one assess simply the soil else it's one one simple simple simple indicator in a big set of indicator we indicator in a big set of indicator we indicator in a big set of indicator we will speak we can can speak dur during will speak we can can speak dur during will speak we can can speak dur during hours on hours and there are already lot hours on hours and there are already lot hours on hours and there are already lot of issues during the M quiz about how to of issues during the M quiz about how to of issues during the M quiz about how to assess soil biodiversity soil health or assess soil biodiversity soil health or assess soil biodiversity soil health or to make a to make a to make a diagnostic uh but for sure uh what we diagnostic uh but for sure uh what we diagnostic uh but for sure uh what we have provide is to make really simple have provide is to make really simple have provide is to make really simple diagnostic based on really simple diagnostic based on really simple diagnostic based on really simple observation available for everyone you observation available for everyone you observation available for everyone you have just to to have a spade and to make have just to to have a spade and to make have just to to have a spade and to make your own test on the field and we have your own test on the field and we have your own test on the field and we have provided it and then we will provided it and then we will provided it and then we will provide other additional tools like I provide other additional tools like I provide other additional tools like I said but for sure earthw it's said but for sure earthw it's said but for sure earthw it's really representative uh of the soil really representative uh of the soil really representative uh of the soil else but not so easy to use as I will else but not so easy to use as I will else but not so easy to use as I will say official indicator of the soil else say official indicator of the soil else say official indicator of the soil else but for sure if you never see any Earth but for sure if you never see any Earth but for sure if you never see any Earth SW in your soil it's a good indicator SW in your soil it's a good indicator SW in your soil it's a good indicator that it's not going really that it's not going really that it's not going really well so you have to to go in detail well so you have to to go in detail well so you have to to go in detail with other indicator to assess that uh and so it is linked with the that uh and so it is linked with the that uh and so it is linked with the question of CAD matters about the question of CAD matters about the question of CAD matters about the recommendation of the bestas soil recommendation of the bestas soil recommendation of the bestas soil biological else method to assess it uh biological else method to assess it uh biological else method to assess it uh so today in the course what we are speak so today in the course what we are speak so today in the course what we are speak about is uh really simply only the about is uh really simply only the about is uh really simply only the biomass Loc production and to let to let biomass Loc production and to let to let biomass Loc production and to let to let uh plants growing and to so to to see uh plants growing and to so to to see uh plants growing and to so to to see how how dense it is how big is the how how dense it is how big is the how how dense it is how big is the biomass how diverse also it is uh and biomass how diverse also it is uh and biomass how diverse also it is uh and the the self grow of the local plants is the the self grow of the local plants is the the self grow of the local plants is for us one of the best indicator you can for us one of the best indicator you can for us one of the best indicator you can have to assess the soil fertility so you have to assess the soil fertility so you have to assess the soil fertility so you let you are just making nothing at one let you are just making nothing at one let you are just making nothing at one place it's not always easy in place it's not always easy in place it's not always easy in agriculture sector because for a lot of agriculture sector because for a lot of agriculture sector because for a lot of farmer it's not easy to let a little farmer it's not easy to let a little farmer it's not easy to let a little place with no intervention no Tage no place with no intervention no Tage no place with no intervention no Tage no chemicals just in order to let go during chemicals just in order to let go during chemicals just in order to let go during at minimum one season and at the end of at minimum one season and at the end of at minimum one season and at the end of the season so mainly in Europe the end the season so mainly in Europe the end the season so mainly in Europe the end of the growing season is the end of June of the growing season is the end of June of the growing season is the end of June uh because there is a big grow season uh because there is a big grow season uh because there is a big grow season April May June and at the end of June April May June and at the end of June April May June and at the end of June you can access uh the high of the the you can access uh the high of the the you can access uh the high of the the cover crop and have a first indication cover crop and have a first indication cover crop and have a first indication really simple to assess the soil Els really simple to assess the soil Els really simple to assess the soil Els because more the soil is fertile more because more the soil is fertile more because more the soil is fertile more the the auto fertility of the soil is the the auto fertility of the soil is the the auto fertility of the soil is good and you can have first assessment good and you can have first assessment good and you can have first assessment really simple and that is really really simple and that is really really simple and that is really accessible for everyone because you have accessible for everyone because you have accessible for everyone because you have just to look at just to look at just to look at uh the eight of your biomass and then uh uh the eight of your biomass and then uh uh the eight of your biomass and then uh uh when we go deeper in

interactive uh way of uh exchanging with interactive uh way of uh exchanging with interactive uh way of uh exchanging with you and uh well all your feedbacks it's you and uh well all your feedbacks it's you and uh well all your feedbacks it's really really nice and we we can feel really really nice and we we can feel really really nice and we we can feel that you are most of you are that you are most of you are that you are most of you are enthusiastic about the the academy and enthusiastic about the the academy and enthusiastic about the the academy and you you do like the the the way it's you you do like the the the way it's you you do like the the the way it's working uh but as it was said before working uh but as it was said before working uh but as it was said before it's really important to have your it's really important to have your it's really important to have your feedbacks because there are still some feedbacks because there are still some feedbacks because there are still some some little things to to get U to take some little things to to get U to take some little things to to get U to take care of it like we we have seen with care of it like we we have seen with care of it like we we have seen with Toma and someone was asking a very Toma and someone was asking a very Toma and someone was asking a very precise question so if you have a precise question so if you have a precise question so if you have a problem just uh just say it and contact problem just uh just say it and contact problem just uh just say it and contact the the the the the the

together is but basically working together is especially suited for nature-based especially suited for nature-based especially suited for nature-based Solutions first the challeng is huge so Solutions first the challeng is huge so Solutions first the challeng is huge so bringing as many skills and knowledge bringing as many skills and knowledge bringing as many skills and knowledge and uh contacts and networks to the and uh contacts and networks to the and uh contacts and networks to the table is quite effective we're talking table is quite effective we're talking table is quite effective we're talking about environment wide change so about environment wide change so about environment wide change so bringing the right set of tools and bringing the right set of tools and bringing the right set of tools and right set of people to the table is right set of people to the table is right set of people to the table is really important and this kind of really important and this kind of really important and this kind of methodologies really help you bring a methodologies really help you bring a methodologies really help you bring a lot of people together and work lot of people together and work lot of people together and work effectively so that's really effectively so that's really effectively so that's really important secondly and very very important secondly and very very important secondly and very very important is very user Centric I moved important is very user Centric I moved important is very user Centric I moved could you go back please there we go could you go back please there we go could you go back please there we go it's very user Centric so the ideas for it's very user Centric so the ideas for it's very user Centric so the ideas for the communities and the people that are the communities and the people that are the communities and the people that are going to benefit from the nature-based going to benefit from the nature-based going to benefit from the nature-based solutions to to actually have a central solutions to to actually have a central solutions to to actually have a central role in the process that's really role in the process that's really role in the process that's really important third this methodology start important third this methodology start important third this methodology start testing in real life quite um almost testing in real life quite um almost testing in real life quite um almost from the start so that's really from the start so that's really from the start so that's really interesting in terms of understanding interesting in terms of understanding interesting in terms of understanding what's working what's not working and what's working what's not working and what's working what's not working and being able to adjust as it goes third being able to adjust as it goes third being able to adjust as it goes third it's very customized and as we all know it's very customized and as we all know it's very customized and as we all know if we're going to be talking about if we're going to be talking about if we're going to be talking about nature-based Solutions you can't have a nature-based Solutions you can't have a nature-based Solutions you can't have a one- siiz fit so solution they need to one- siiz fit so solution they need to one- siiz fit so solution they need to address what's needed in the space so address what's needed in the space so address what's needed in the space so that's why these kind of methodologies that's why these kind of methodologies that's why these kind of methodologies are way better than just transfering are way better than just transfering are way better than just transfering knowledge there's also as I mentioned knowledge there's also as I mentioned knowledge there's also as I mentioned the importance of sharing skills and the importance of sharing skills and the importance of sharing skills and resources and bringing people who are resources and bringing people who are resources and bringing people who are academics and bringing people who are academics and bringing people who are academics and bringing people who are practitioners and bringing people who practitioners and bringing people who practitioners and bringing people who know about policy and creating a know about policy and creating a know about policy and creating a framework all together that's going to framework all together that's going to framework all together that's going to be effective for working on this be effective for working on this be effective for working on this nature-based nature-based nature-based solution it just strengthens the system solution it just strengthens the system solution it just strengthens the system it's really nice you create really it's really nice you create really it's really nice you create really strong relationships and that's what we strong relationships and that's what we strong relationships and that's what we need if we're going to create change on need if we're going to create change on need if we're going to create change on an environmental scale and also just the an environmental scale and also just the an environmental scale and also just the fact that we all learn in different ways fact that we all learn in different ways fact that we all learn in different ways and this kind of methodology really help and this kind of methodology really help and this kind of methodology really help everyone get a little bit of their everyone get a little bit of their everyone get a little bit of their Learning System if you're a good reader Learning System if you're a good reader Learning System if you're a good reader if you're like experiencing things if if you're like experiencing things if if you're like experiencing things if you're more uh a person that learns by you're more uh a person that learns by you're more uh a person that learns by looking from the outside all these looking from the outside all these looking from the outside all these options are going to be available to you options are going to be available to you options are going to be available to you if you work in a co-creative way so if you work in a co-creative way so if you work in a co-creative way so that's the basis of why procreation in that's the basis of why procreation in that's the basis of why procreation in general and living LS in particular is general and living LS in particular is general and living LS in particular is basically because this has been the basically because this has been the basically because this has been the preferred uh model that the soil Mission preferred uh model that the soil Mission preferred uh model that the soil Mission has embraced the idea for the soil has embraced the idea for the soil has embraced the idea for the soil mission is to create 100 living labs and mission is to create 100 living labs and mission is to create 100 living labs and lious we'll explore a little bit the lious we'll explore a little bit the lious we'll explore a little bit the difference not in this particular event difference not in this particular event difference not in this particular event but actually if you're interested this but actually if you're interested this but actually if you're interested this um module is for you because we explored um module is for you because we explored um module is for you because we explored the difference in it but basically it's the difference in it but basically it's the difference in it but basically it's been the preferred modu because again been the preferred modu because again been the preferred modu because again it's a really good methodology for it's a really good methodology for it's a really good methodology for bringing people together with this user bringing people together with this user bringing people together with this user Centric and real life approach so Carn Centric and real life approach so Carn Centric and real life approach so Carn if we could move the next one if we could move the next one if we could move the next one please so why our module please so why our module please so why our module ER focuses on what it focuses so the ER focuses on what it focuses so the ER focuses on what it focuses so the idea for us is to give you a wide range idea for us is to give you a wide range idea for us is to give you a wide range of tools at the very beginning just of tools at the very beginning just of tools at the very beginning just introduce what interactive Innovation is introduce what interactive Innovation is introduce what interactive Innovation is in general so that you can see what's in general so that you can see what's in general so that you can see what's the best tool for you maybe it will be the best tool for you maybe it will be the best tool for you maybe it will be living LS which we will explore in living LS which we will explore in living LS which we will explore in detail on the second and third levels of detail on the second and third levels of detail on the second and third levels of this project but we wanted to give you this project but we wanted to give you this project but we wanted to give you as well a flavor of other options that as well a flavor of other options that as well a flavor of other options that you can have if you're working in you can have if you're working in you can have if you're working in interactive Innovation that either might interactive Innovation that either might interactive Innovation that either might be better suited or but might be be better suited or but might be be better suited or but might be integrated in your living life lab integrated in your living life lab integrated in your living life lab methodology so we start the first module methodology so we start the first module methodology so we start the first module the the first level of the module the the first level of the module the the first level of the module exploring what interactive Innovation is exploring what interactive Innovation is exploring what interactive Innovation is how to use them some effective tools and how to use them some effective tools and how to use them some effective tools and we identify three different uh modules we identify three different uh modules we identify three different uh modules that are suitable for interactive that are suitable for interactive that are suitable for interactive Innovation and then we go into the Innovation and then we go into the Innovation and then we go into the detail of of the living laps that's detail of of the living laps that's detail of of the living laps that's going to be on levels two and three of going to be on levels two and three of going to be on levels two and three of the modu exploring what the key act what the modu exploring what the key act what the modu exploring what the key act what they are some of their key actors the they are some of their key actors the they are some of their key actors the relev events of governance and business relev events of governance and business relev events of governance and business models in detail and then also very models in detail and then also very models in detail and then also very practical ways of exploring all these practical ways of exploring all these practical ways of exploring all these aspects by understanding what aspects by understanding what aspects by understanding what interactive Innovations processes in interactive Innovations processes in interactive Innovations processes in general are at the very beginning it general are at the very beginning it general are at the very beginning it should make it easier to sort of like should make it easier to sort of like should make it easier to sort of like embrace the living la part on the second embrace the living la part on the second embrace the living la part on the second half we hope and overall the most half we hope and overall the most half we hope and overall the most important thing for us is to create a important thing for us is to create a important thing for us is to create a safe space where you can test some of of safe space where you can test some of of safe space where you can test some of of this ideas before you can actually test this ideas before you can actually test this ideas before you can actually test them in real life and get a community of them in real life and get a community of them in real life and get a community of people that are interested in the same people that are interested in the same people that are interested in the same things talking to each other exploring things talking to each other exploring things talking to each other exploring some ideas so as we've mentioned um some ideas so as we've mentioned um some ideas so as we've mentioned um we'll find we'll use some of the Moodle we'll find we'll use some of the Moodle we'll find we'll use some of the Moodle uh tools to make that happen so if we uh tools to make that happen so if we uh tools to make that happen so if we could go to the next one Caroline could go to the next one Caroline could go to the next one Caroline please um so as I mentioned level one is please um so as I mentioned level one is please um so as I mentioned level one is all about interactive innovation in all about interactive innovation in all about interactive innovation in general so we're exploring what general so we're exploring what general so we're exploring what interactive Innovation processes are interactive Innovation processes are interactive Innovation processes are what the benefits and what the what the benefits and what the what the benefits and what the challenges are so that you're not challenges are so that you're not challenges are so that you're not thinking this is a panace and it's going thinking this is a panace and it's going thinking this is a panace and it's going to for everything it's really important to for everything it's really important to for everything it's really important to know that there are really big to know that there are really big to know that there are really big challenges but it's um we're giving you challenges but it's um we're giving you challenges but it's um we're giving you tools to overcome them uh leverages tools to overcome them uh leverages tools to overcome them uh leverages leverage sort of like insights on when leverage sort of like insights on when leverage sort of like insights on when to use this approach there might be to use this approach there might be to use this approach there might be situations where this is not the most situations where this is not the most situations where this is not the most suitable approach so just to explore suitable approach so just to explore suitable approach so just to explore that uh realizing that there's different that uh realizing that there's different that uh realizing that there's different actors that play different roles and actors that play different roles and actors that play different roles and using a very well-known tool which is using a very well-known tool which is using a very well-known tool which is called the spiral of innovation to be called the spiral of innovation to be called the spiral of innovation to be able to think about the process and how able to think about the process and how able to think about the process and how you manage it and then at the very end you manage it and then at the very end you manage it and then at the very end we're going to explore um a few ideas we're going to explore um a few ideas we're going to explore um a few ideas about different models of interactive about different models of interactive about different models of interactive Innovation for example Laura here has a Innovation for example Laura here has a Innovation for example Laura here has a very good example about uh field labs very good example about uh field labs very good example about uh field labs elod and vanan have explored the idea of elod and vanan have explored the idea of elod and vanan have explored the idea of working with different organizations working with different organizations working with different organizations cluster permer clusters all these ideas cluster permer clusters all these ideas cluster permer clusters all these ideas are introduced here and then we start are introduced here and then we start are introduced here and then we start into going into the living la into going into the living la into going into the living la aspect the plan you're going to have aspect the plan you're going to have aspect the plan you're going to have this U information afterwards but you this U information afterwards but you this U information afterwards but you can see that the plan there what the can see that the plan there what the can see that the plan there what the plan is to embrace this learning plan is to embrace this learning plan is to embrace this learning outcomes Ken if we could go to the next outcomes Ken if we could go to the next outcomes Ken if we could go to the next one one one please so in as I mentioned sort of like please so in as I mentioned sort of like please so in as I mentioned sort of like levels two and three are going to be levels two and three are going to be levels two and three are going to be focusing mostly on living Labs so the focusing mostly on living Labs so the focusing mostly on living Labs so the idea is going to be to provide you the idea is going to be to provide you the idea is going to be to provide you the tools to understand what living labs are tools to understand what living labs are tools to understand what living labs are at least in our workshops we realize at least in our workshops we realize at least in our workshops we realize that one of the biggest challenges for that one of the biggest challenges for that one of the biggest challenges for people to implement living Labs with people to implement living Labs with people to implement living Labs with understanding exactly what they are and understanding exactly what they are and understanding exactly what they are and whether they can be useful for us so whether they can be useful for us so whether they can be useful for us so again you're going to have an idea of again you're going to have an idea of again you're going to have an idea of interactive Innovations are in general interactive Innovations are in general interactive Innovations are in general but then we're going into what a living but then we're going into what a living but then we're going into what a living love specifically is their benefits love specifically is their benefits love specifically is their benefits their pit FS uh how to use the their pit FS uh how to use the their pit FS uh how to use the methodology and when to use it and methodology and when to use it and methodology and when to use it and especially and this is really important especially and this is really important especially and this is really important for living loves understanding the for living loves understanding the for living loves understanding the actors understanding governance and actors understanding governance and actors understanding governance and understanding business models so we're understanding business models so we're understanding business models so we're going to first explore the going to first explore the going to first explore the framework and then in level three if you framework and then in level three if you framework and then in level three if you can move to the next one piece Caroline can move to the next one piece Caroline can move to the next one piece Caroline we're going to explore or uh more we're going to explore or uh more we're going to explore or uh more practically how to turn an idea into a practically how to turn an idea into a practically how to turn an idea into a reality within a living lab so how to reality within a living lab so how to reality within a living lab so how to explore Initial Ideas identify the right explore Initial Ideas identify the right explore Initial Ideas identify the right Partners agreed on a shared Vision Partners agreed on a shared Vision Partners agreed on a shared Vision identify governance in business moduls identify governance in business moduls identify governance in business moduls and communicate effectively both and communicate effectively both and communicate effectively both internally externally and assessing internally externally and assessing internally externally and assessing impact so again the idea here is to impact so again the idea here is to impact so again the idea here is to provide you with the framework first and provide you with the framework first and provide you with the framework first and then practical tools to make it happen then practical tools to make it happen then practical tools to make it happen car if we could move to the next one car if we could move to the next one car if we could move to the next one please so this is just a few things that you're so this is just a few things that you're so this is just a few things that you're going to be getting through working with going to be getting through working with going to be getting through working with us we hope through the module of course us we hope through the module of course us we hope through the module of course you're going to be getting knowledge but you're going to be getting knowledge but you're going to be getting knowledge but we're also very keen on providing you we're also very keen on providing you we're also very keen on providing you with Frameworks I heard someone say the with Frameworks I heard someone say the with Frameworks I heard someone say the other day that sometimes you have really other day that sometimes you have really other day that sometimes you have really good ideas but if you don't have the RH good ideas but if you don't have the RH good ideas but if you don't have the RH framework it can be really hard to framework it can be really hard to framework it can be really hard to implement them so the idea here is to implement them so the idea here is to implement them so the idea here is to give you basically almost like a closet give you basically almost like a closet give you basically almost like a closet where you can hang your ideas and hang where you can hang your ideas and hang where you can hang your ideas and hang your process and follow it through so your process and follow it through so your process and follow it through so that's part of the goal here and very that's part of the goal here and very that's part of the goal here and very very importantly for us just give you very importantly for us just give you very importantly for us just give you tools to make interactive innovation in tools to make interactive innovation in tools to make interactive innovation in general and living labs in particular a general and living labs in particular a general and living labs in particular a little bit easier to implement at the little bit easier to implement at the little bit easier to implement at the different stages these are complex big different stages these are complex big different stages these are complex big big projects complex projects so having big projects complex projects so having big projects complex projects so having a tool set that will help you make them a tool set that will help you make them a tool set that will help you make them happen better is really important and happen better is really important and happen better is really important and finally and very importantly for us is finally and very importantly for us is finally and very importantly for us is creating a community even if it's an creating a community

about living lab today but as introduced Anna living lab today but as introduced Anna living lab today but as introduced Anna I I talked to you about how to build an I I talked to you about how to build an I I talked to you about how to build an ecosystem uh and I let you with the one ecosystem uh and I let you with the one ecosystem uh and I let you with the one of the favorite chart of Vincent which of the favorite chart of Vincent which of the favorite chart of Vincent which you he can talk to you more about this you he can talk to you more about this you he can talk to you more about this chart but uh still um this shows the chart but uh still um this shows the chart but uh still um this shows the ratio of memorization compared to the ratio of memorization compared to the

you surely will by building living Labs with your will by building living Labs with your will by building living Labs with your ecosystem so thank you for listening to ecosystem so thank you for listening to ecosystem so thank you for listening to me and me and me and I give the floor to Anna and maybe to I give the floor to Anna and maybe to I give the floor to Anna and maybe to Vincent if he wants to add something great thanks El and Anna something great thanks El and Anna something great thanks El and Anna Vincent do you have anything to add to Vincent do you have anything to add to Vincent do you have anything to add to that yeah I just I wanted to highlight that yeah I just I wanted to highlight that yeah I just I wanted to highlight that sometimes we think of living Labs that sometimes we think of living Labs that sometimes we think of living Labs as a project that starts out of nowhere as a project that starts out of nowhere as a project that starts out of nowhere but uh

ideally in this case we're co-creatively ideally in this case we're co-creatively ideally in this case we're talking about living laps but as Laura talking about living laps but as Laura talking about living laps but as Laura knows there's some other tools that knows there's some other tools that knows there's some other tools that quite effective and so if you're going quite effective and so if you're going quite effective and so if you're going to take anything from our module we to take anything from our module we to take anything from our module we would like to make sure that it's that would like to make sure that it's that would like to make sure that it's that you have lots of options not only living you have lots of options not only living you have lots of options not only living LS um but also that living LS are a very LS um but also that living LS are a very LS um but also that living LS are a very effective way of doing it so it's it's a effective way of doing it so it's it's a effective way of doing it so it's it's a little bit of both but that uh healthy little bit of both but that uh healthy little bit of both but that uh healthy ecosystems are needed if you're

would be great thank you yes so I'm Laura and be great thank you yes so I'm Laura and be great thank you yes so I'm Laura and I work as the network coordinator for I work as the network coordinator for I work as the network coordinator for Innovative Farmers um if is a program Innovative Farmers um if is a program Innovative Farmers um if is a program where groups of farmers get together and where groups of farmers get together and where groups of farmers get together and they run trials on different farming they run trials on different farming they run trials on different farming practices which are important to them uh practices which are important to them uh practices which are important to them uh which have an Eco agroecological which have an Eco agroecological which have an Eco agroecological slant um so we as a program we can slant um so we as a program we can slant um so we as a program we can provide financial support to the group provide financial support to the

work um why why come together and work um why why come together and work collaboratively in this collaboratively in this collaboratively in this way why why is it such a great idea way why why is it such a great idea way why why is it such a great idea and this this is was for me sorry yeah and this this is was for me sorry yeah and this this is was for me sorry yeah yeah sorry you Laura you can go first um yeah sorry you Laura you can go first um yeah sorry you Laura you can go first um I guess from point of view um it works I guess from point of view um it works I guess from point of view um it works on two different scales so on a on a on two different scales so on a on a on two different scales so on a on a sort of immediate trial scale um it's sort of immediate trial scale um it's sort of immediate trial scale um it's it's really important to work together it's really important to work together it's really important to work together with loads of different stakeholders with loads of different stakeholders with loads of different stakeholders because you're sharing knowledge because you're sharing knowledge because you're sharing knowledge obviously everyone brings something um obviously everyone brings something um obviously everyone brings something um different to the table to the trial um different to the table to the trial um different to the table to the trial um not just knowledge but different not just knowledge but different not just knowledge but different management skills practical skills and management skills practical skills and management skills practical skills and also uh inspiration and ideas which you also uh inspiration and ideas which you also uh inspiration and ideas which you might not have got from a smaller group might not have got from a smaller group might not have got from a smaller group so from a small scale point of view on a so from a small scale point of view on a so from a small scale point of view on a on a trial basis that's really important on a trial basis that's really important on a trial basis that's really important um and um and um and involving um different stakeholders from involving um different stakeholders from involving um different stakeholders from different parts of the process like the different parts of the process like the different parts of the process like the seed suppliers all the way through to seed suppliers all the way through to seed suppliers all the way through to sort of the processes of the of the crop sort of the processes of the of the crop sort of the processes of the of the crop whatever it happens to be um that's whatever it happens to be um that's whatever it happens to be um that's really helpful to see how everything really helpful to see how everything really helpful to see how everything works together um and from a slightly works together um and from a slightly works together um and from a slightly wider scale look at our wider aim as a wider scale look at our wider aim as a wider scale look at our wider aim as a as a program is to um bring about as a program is to um bring about as a program is to um bring about systems change to increase systems change to increase systems change to increase um agre eological farming as a focus and um agre eological farming as a focus and um agre eological farming as a focus and so um you can't change a system without so um you can't change a system without so um you can't change a system without bringing people from all different parts bringing people from all different parts bringing people from all different parts of the system so it works on a small of the system so it works on a small of the system so it works on a small scale to make the trial work but also scale to make the trial work but also scale to make the trial work but also for our wider for our wider for our wider aims great thanks Laura El do you have aims great thanks Laura El do you have aims great thanks Laura El do you have anything to add or any ideas around that anything to add or any ideas around that anything to add or any ideas around that no I think Laura said everything it's no I think Laura said everything it's no I think Laura said everything it's important to mix the competency for important to mix the competency for important to mix the competency for example for us production has a example for us production has a example for us production has a competency for videos competency for videos competency for videos uh whereas tribal performers they know uh whereas tribal performers they know uh whereas tribal performers they know how to um be referenc in Google and to how to um be referenc in Google and to how to um be referenc in Google and to write portraits which would interest uh write portraits which would interest uh write portraits which would interest uh the the the farmers who want to take the the the farmers who want to take the the the farmers who want to take some some some inspiration um so yeah I I think this inspiration um so yeah I I think this inspiration um so yeah I I think this mix of Competency and networks is really mix of Competency and networks is really mix of Competency and networks is really really really really important great thanks and Anna what the important great thanks and Anna what the important great thanks and Anna what the uh main challenges that you've come up uh main challenges that you've come up uh main challenges that you've come up come up against working col come up against working col come up against working col collaboratively to date I would say collaboratively to date I would say collaboratively to date I would say probably the biggest thing is um just probably the biggest thing is um just probably the biggest thing is um just bringing the right people together and bringing the right people together and bringing the right people together and that's one of the things that we do in that's one of the things that we do in that's one of the things that we do in the module and we would like everyone to the module and we would like everyone to the module and we would like everyone to explore it's hard to know how to bring explore it's hard to know how to bring explore it's hard to know how to bring people together and who to bring people together and who to bring people together and who to bring together and how to contact them so one together and how to contact them so one together and how to contact them so one of the most important things that we do of the most important things that we do of the most important things that we do in the in the module is making sure that in the in the module is making sure that in the in the module is making sure that we give you the tools to explore this we give you the tools to explore this we give you the tools to explore this things it's really hard to think outside things it's really hard to think outside things it's really hard to think outside the box sometimes especially when you're the box sometimes especially when you're the box sometimes especially when you're time like these projects are very time time like these projects are very time time like these projects are very time consuming they're quite emotionally sort consuming they're quite emotionally sort consuming they're quite emotionally sort of like consuming as well so making sure of like consuming as well so making sure of like consuming as well so making sure that you bring the right people together that you bring the right people together that you bring the right people together is really important a little bit uh is really important a little bit uh is really important a little bit uh following what Laura and elody were following what Laura and elody were following what Laura and elody were saying it's not about just bringing one saying it's not about just bringing one saying it's not about just bringing one kind of person you need to bring kind of person you need to bring kind of person you need to bring researchers and practitioners and policy researchers and practitioners and policy researchers and practitioners and policy makers and all the people that have makers and all the people that have makers and all the people that have different perspectives to be able to different perspectives to be able to different perspectives to be able to change on a scale so that's quite change on a scale so that's quite change on a scale so that's quite challenging us ually and so providing challenging us ually and so providing challenging us ually and so providing the right tools it's not going to make the right tools it's not going to make the right tools it's not going to make it like super easy but it will make it it like super easy but it will make it it like super easy but it will make it significantly easier to at least think significantly easier to at least think significantly easier to at least think of who you need to bring so I would say of who you need to bring so I would say of who you need to bring so I would say that's one of the biggest challenges and that's one of the biggest challenges and that's one of the biggest challenges and then the second biggest challenge is then the second biggest challenge is then the second biggest challenge is just providing a good framework to work just providing a good framework to work just providing a good framework to work all together you're going to be bring all together you're going to be bring all together you're going to be bring lots of people with different ideas lots of people with different ideas lots of people with different ideas different personalities different different personalities different different personalities different approaches what these methodologies do approaches what these methodologies do approaches what these methodologies do for example a living lab methodology in for example a living lab methodology in for example a living lab methodology in particular is is um providing a very particular is is um providing a very particular is is um providing a very good structure a very good governance good structure a very good governance good structure a very good governance model and a very good business model model and a very good business model model and a very good business model that allows people to be able to be that allows people to be able to be that allows people to be able to be creative in a safe space so that's why I creative in a safe space so that's why I creative in a safe space so that's why I think especially living labs in this think especially living labs in this think especially living labs in this case because this is what we're talking case because this is what we're talking case because this is what we're talking but a field lab as well or a good um a but a field lab as well or a good um a but a field lab as well or a good um a sort of a like triple performance which sort of a like triple performance which sort of a like triple performance which is a website it allows people to have a is a website it allows people to have a is a website it allows people to have a framework where they can be very framework where they can be very framework where they can be very creative but everything is already creative but everything is already creative but everything is already little bit safe so we explore those two little bit safe so we explore those two little bit safe so we explore those two things and the module we explore not things and the module we explore not things and the module we explore not only the ideas behind it but also how to only the ideas behind it but also how to only the ideas behind it but also how to come together to uh find the right fit come together to uh find the right fit come together to uh find the right fit for you governance models can be very for you governance models can be very for you governance models can be very different business models can be very different business models can be very different business models can be very different and what we want to make sure different and what we want to make sure different and what we want to make sure is that anybody who goes through our is that anybody who goes through our is that anybody who goes through our process will have at least the tools to process will have at least the tools to process will have at least the tools to be able to exploring these challenges great thanks Anna Laura do challenges great thanks Anna Laura do challenges great thanks Anna Laura do you have anything to add on the you have anything to add on the you have anything to add on the challenges i' say um from our point of challenges i' say um from our point of challenges i' say um from our point of view from the trials I think one of the view from the trials I think one of the view from the trials I think one of the tri one of the main challenges is is is tri one of the main challenges is is is tri one of the main challenges is is is the actual fundamentally working the actual fundamentally working the actual fundamentally working together the the communication and I I together the the communication and I I together the the communication and I I read somewhere that um um managing read somewhere that um um managing read somewhere that um um managing stakeholders is essentially Conflict stakeholders is essentially Conflict stakeholders is essentially Conflict Management when that far but there's an Management when that far but there's an Management when that far but there's an awful lot of mediation involved and and awful lot of mediation involved and and awful lot of mediation involved and and and identifying someone or a group at and identifying someone or a group at and identifying someone or a group at the beginning or or methods of of the beginning or or methods of of the beginning or or methods of of managing those conflicts which are going managing those conflicts which are going managing those conflicts which are going to come up is really critical um and it to come up is really critical um and it to come up is really critical um and it it really helps to have really good it really helps to have really good it really helps to have really good communication and really um making sure communication and really um making sure communication and really um making sure that everyone feels really part of the that everyone feels really part of the that everyone feels really part of the team so they're engaged and they they team so they're engaged and they they team so they're engaged and they they they've bought into it so that they feel they've bought into it so that they feel they've bought into it so that they feel strong enough to be able to put their strong enough to be able to put their strong enough to be able to put their point across um but also someone's got point across um but also someone's got point across um but also someone's got to be there who can manage those points to be there who can manage those points to be there who can manage those points of view manage those um the differences of view manage those um the differences of view manage those um the differences that everyone is going to bring to the that everyone is going to bring to the that everyone is going to bring to the table um in an effect positive way uh table um in an effect positive way uh table um in an effect positive way uh and because everyone is going to and because everyone is going to and because everyone is going to approach this differently everyone's got approach this differently everyone's got approach this differently everyone's got different priorities um in our trials different priorities um in our trials different priorities um in our trials you know the researcher is often keen on you know the researcher is often keen on you know the researcher is often keen on maybe publishing a paper at the end of maybe publishing a paper at the end of maybe publishing a paper at the end of it and the farmer just wants to know the it and the farmer just wants to know the it and the farmer just wants to know the Practical results it's not that fussed Practical results it's not that fussed Practical results it's not that fussed about the the details of the data that's about the the details of the data that's about the the details of the data that's not important it's the proof of concept not important it's the proof of concept not important it's the proof of concept and um you know different people the and um you know different people the and um you know different people the seeds companies just want to know seeds companies just want to know seeds companies just want to know whether the seed works you know what I whether the seed works you know what I whether the seed works you know what I mean it's everyone has a slightly mean it's everyone has a slightly mean it's everyone has a slightly different approach and what they want to different approach and what they want to different approach and what they want to get out of it and I think having someone get out of it and I think having someone get out of it and I think having someone or some process that manages that and I or some process that manages that and I or some process that manages that and I don't know what necessarily how to do don't know what necessarily how to do don't know what necessarily how to do that best but having some way of that best but having some way of that best but having some way of managing that to ease the communication managing that to ease the communication managing that to ease the communication I think is is our biggest challenge in I think is is our biggest challenge in I think is is our biggest challenge in the trials just making sure that the trials just making sure that the trials just making sure that everyone is on the same page great thanks Laura apologies my page great thanks Laura apologies my page great thanks Laura apologies my internet keeps dropping out I think internet keeps dropping out I think internet keeps dropping out I think that's why I keep disappearing so um that's why I keep disappearing so um that's why I keep disappearing so um we've just had one um one question in we've just had one um one question in we've just had one um one question in the Q&A from Phillip and it was just the Q&A from Phillip and it was just the Q&A from Phillip and it was just around um the um thought that living lab around um the um thought that living lab around um the um thought that living lab projects had to have entities from projects had to have entities from projects had to have entities from several EU countries to participate and several EU countries to participate and several EU countries to participate and collaborate how does this work in collaborate how does this work in collaborate how does this work in practice so yes the for the soil Mission practice so yes the for the soil Mission practice so yes the for the soil Mission there's an expectation of at least three there's an expectation of at least three there's an expectation of at least three people three legal entities from people three legal entities from people three legal entities from different countries different countries different countries participating uh so that's exactly what participating uh so that's exactly what participating uh so that's exactly what what challenges that can really help what challenges that can really help what challenges that can really help sort of like start exploring your sort of like start exploring your sort of like start exploring your networks to bring them they do have to networks to bring them they do have to networks to bring them they do have to have a governance model so again that's have a governance model so again that's have a governance model so again that's why we explored governance models and uh why we explored governance models and uh why we explored governance models and uh have a formal way of working together have a formal way of working together have a formal way of working together that allows them to to meet the required that allows them to to meet the required that allows them to to meet the required standards how they organize themselves standards how they organize themselves standards how they organize themselves and how they find the business model and how they find the business model and how they find the business model there's specific uh projects that are there's specific uh projects that are there's specific uh projects that are helping people uh further develop that helping people uh further develop that helping people uh further develop that but from a starting point following what but from a starting point following what but from a starting point following what we suggest in terms of bringing um we suggest in terms of bringing um we suggest in terms of bringing um bringing the right people together first bringing the right people together first bringing the right people together first coming together exploring an idea coming together exploring an idea coming together exploring an idea deciding on our governance and deciding deciding on our governance and deciding deciding on our governance and deciding on a business model are the early stages on a business model are the early stages on a business model are the early stages at the very least to be able to present at the very least to be able to present at the very least to be able to present to have a a a structured plan that then to have a a a structured plan that then to have a a a structured plan that then you can present especially for the soil you can present especially for the soil you can present especially for the soil Mission uh living LS but yes Philip Mission uh living LS but yes Philip Mission uh living LS but yes Philip you're absolutely right let me find this you're absolutely right let me find this you're absolutely right let me find this I think I have the link here so I can I think I have the link here so I can I think I have the link here so I can share it with you so that you can have share it with you so that you can have share it with you so that you can have it it it um I think that the challenges a little um I think that the challenges a little um I think that the challenges a little bit like we've done in some European bit like we've done in some European bit like we've done in some European projects is finding the right people projects is finding the right people projects is finding the right people once you find the right person those once you find the right person those once you find the right person those people bring their connections as well people bring their connections as well people bring their connections as well and you can come together not sure that and you can come together not sure that and you can come together not sure that answers the question but if you have any answers the question but if you have any answers the question but if you have any further questions I'm happy to but the further questions I'm happy to but the further questions I'm happy to but the question is yes you need entities from question is yes you need entities from question is yes you need entities from different countries the legal framework different countries the legal framework different countries the legal framework is something that you can work on and uh is something that you can work on and uh is something that you can work on and uh there's help out there with really there's help out there with really there's help out there with really really good projects that can help you really good projects that can help you really good projects that can help you further that so we'll put a few links further that so we'll put a few links further that so we'll put a few links here many of them led by Eno the uh here many of them led by Eno the uh here many of them led by Eno the uh European network of living Labs thanks Anna um El do you have any Labs thanks Anna um El do you have any Labs thanks Anna um El do you have any do you have any thoughts on sort of do you have any thoughts on sort of do you have any thoughts on sort of other challenges that you've other challenges that you've other challenges that you've experienced um I guess we have the same experienced um I guess we have the same experienced um I guess we have the same challenges as Laura said which is a main challenges as Laura said which is a main challenges as Laura said which is a main communication and bringing all PRI it communication and bringing all PRI it communication and bringing all PRI it and interest of each person um in the and interest of each person um in the and interest of each person um in the ecosystem but bringing an action plan ecosystem but bringing an action plan ecosystem but bringing an action plan which is consistent because uh otherwise which is consistent because uh otherwise which is consistent because uh otherwise you you tend to disperse yourself you you tend to disperse yourself you you tend to disperse yourself because everyone is so Dynamic and wants because everyone is so Dynamic and wants because everyone is so Dynamic and wants to implement new things uh but as we to implement new things uh but as we to implement new things uh but as we begin as a as a small team at the begin as a as a small team at the begin as a as a small team at the beginning we need to to have a strategic beginning we need to to have a strategic beginning we need to to have a strategic action plan which action plan which action plan which um yeah is consider system so this is um yeah is consider system so this is um yeah is consider system so this is really important and also G Gathering really important and also G Gathering really important and also G Gathering new people to the ecosystem to me is new people to the ecosystem to me is new people to the ecosystem to me is really important because um if you don't really important because um if you don't really important because um if you don't do it all in all you begin to be a new do it all in all you begin to be a new do it all in all you begin to be a new entity a larger one but not an ecosystem entity a larger one but not an ecosystem entity a larger one but not an ecosystem which is living and accepting new people which is living and accepting new people which is living and accepting new people to the ecosystem is really important but to the ecosystem is really important but to the ecosystem is really important but still uh not losing uh the values uh still uh not losing uh the values uh still uh not losing uh the values uh which gathered you at the beginning so which gathered you at the beginning so which gathered you at the beginning so finding this right balance between finding this right balance between finding this right balance between um welcoming new people but keeping the um welcoming new people but keeping the um welcoming new people but keeping the the same values or actualizing your the same values or actualizing your the same values or actualizing your value values objectives and action plan value values objectives and action plan value values objectives and action plan is really important um to me I would is really important um to me I would is really important um to me I would say excellent thanks El um and then just say excellent thanks El um and then just say excellent thanks El um and then just what what are the main rewards and what what are the main rewards and what what are the main rewards and benefits of working collaboratively that benefits of working collaboratively that benefits of working collaboratively that you you you found uh still me uh to me it's uh found uh still me uh to me it's uh found uh still me uh to me it's uh mainly what we said is uh having the mainly what we said is uh having the mainly what we said is uh having the Avail um the possibility to have all the Avail um the possibility to have all the Avail um the possibility to have all the comp competency together to um reach a comp competency together to um reach a comp competency together to um reach a large amount of people thanks to the large amount of people thanks to the large amount of people thanks to the network for our story the network is so network for our story the network is so network for our story the network is so important uh because uh it's uh in the important uh because uh it's uh in the important uh because uh it's uh in the end um the the really person who work on end um the the really person who work on end um the the really person who work on it are a few but because they know a lot it are a few but because they know a lot it are a few but because they know a lot of people it's easy to to spread the of people it's easy to to spread the of people it's easy to to spread the spread the word and being known so the spread the word and being known so the spread the word and being known so the network is really important so I think network is really important so I think network is really important so I think if we haven't been uh in an ecosystem if we haven't been uh in an ecosystem if we haven't been uh in an ecosystem the the projects could not have uh had the the projects could not have uh had the the projects could not have uh had this popularity in France so it's the this popularity in France so it's the this popularity in France so it's the the Keystone of O the Keystone of O the Keystone of O project great thanks Laura do you have project great thanks Laura do you have project great thanks Laura do you have any thoughts on benefits and I'd agree any thoughts on benefits and I'd agree any thoughts on benefits and I'd agree with definitely yeah that the um you with definitely yeah that the um you with definitely yeah that the um you know the networks and reaching people is know the networks and reaching people is know the networks and reaching people is really important um I probably add to really important um I probably add to really important um I probably add to that as well um if by including more that as well um if by including more that as well um if by including more people you include more you create more people you include more you create more people you include more you create more power so more power to influence um so power so more power to influence um so power so more power to influence um so more um power to influence other more um power to influence other more um power to influence other organizations other people um but also organizations other people um but also organizations other people um but also to reach the people who have the power to reach the people who have the power to reach the people who have the power themselves so for example in one of our themselves so for example in one of our themselves so for example in one of our trials um one of one of our um more trials um one of one of our um more trials um one of one of our um more living Labs is on uh intercropping and living Labs is on uh intercropping and living Labs is on uh intercropping and we're looking at it from all the way we're looking at it from all the way we're looking at it from all the way from like where you're getting the seed from like where you're getting the seed from like where you're getting the seed from which is the best seed through the from which is the best seed through the from which is

finding a market for it all the way to finding a market for it and finding a market is one of is one of and finding a market is one of is one of and finding a market is one of is one of the great challenges and if we hadn't the great challenges and if we hadn't the great challenges and if we hadn't included people from or stakeholders included people from or stakeholders included people from or stakeholders from all parts of that um from all parts of that um from all parts of that um process actually we don't have an awful process actually we don't have an awful process actually we don't have an awful lot of power we can we can trial the lot of power we can we can trial the lot of power we can we can trial the intercrops we can say well it's intercrops we can say well it's intercrops we can say well it's brilliant if you grow um a cereal and a brilliant if you grow um a cereal and a brilliant if you grow um a cereal and a legum together because this is the this legum together because this is the this legum together because this is the this is the result it it you know it's less is the result it it you know it's less is the result it it you know it's less inputs it's it's all the rest of it inputs it's it's all the rest of it inputs it's it's all the rest of it but if you can't convince the the seed but if you can't convince the the seed but if you can't convince the the seed growers to um provide the right seed for growers to um provide the right seed for growers to um provide the right seed for those for growing together and if you those for growing together and if you those for growing together and if you can't um influence the market there's no can't um influence the market there's no can't um influence the market there's no point in growing the intercrops because point in growing the intercrops because point in growing the intercrops because you have got nowhere to sell them and you have got nowhere to sell them and you have got nowhere to sell them and you've got haven't got the seed in the you've got haven't got the seed in the you've got haven't got the seed in the first place so it's about having more first place so it's about having more

just something really short and following our what really short and following our what really short and following our what Philip was asking there um how and why Philip was asking there um how and why Philip was asking there um how and why you bring people from different you bring people from different you bring people from different countries especially when it comes to countries especially when it comes to countries especially when it comes to this kind of solutions that we're this kind of solutions that we're this kind of solutions that we're exploring which are nature-based exploring which are nature-based exploring which are nature-based solutions it's um being able to bring solutions it's um being able to bring solutions it's um being able to bring people together as Laura says on on a people together as Laura says on on a people together as Laura says on on a wide um sort of like different aspects wide um sort of like different aspects wide um sort of like different aspects

precisely that because it gives that sort of like strength uh to gives that sort of like strength uh to gives that sort of like strength uh to the idea that you're exploring it's not the idea that you're exploring it's not the idea that you're exploring it's not an idea that's just a oneof it's an idea an idea that's just a oneof it's an idea an idea that's just a oneof it's an idea that has been tested that has been tested that has been tested in different parts and by doing that you in different parts and by doing that you in different parts and by doing that you strengthen the

actually bring that case forward to authorities to that case forward to authorities to that case forward to authorities to other Farmers to other if it's in an other Farmers to other if it's in an other Farmers to other if it's in an urban space or a forestry space um to urban space or a forestry space um to urban space or a forestry space um to those kind of people so it's really those kind of people so it's really those kind of people so it's really important to be able to do it but that's important to be able to do it but that's important to be able to do it but that's where the importance of governance comes where the importance of governance comes where the importance of governance comes in because it allows you to Showcase in because it allows you to Showcase in because it allows you to Showcase that you've done it in a very a way that you've done it in a very a way that you've done it in a very a way that's agreeable but also it helps you that's agreeable but also it helps you that's agreeable but also it helps you with a lot of potential challenges it with a lot of potential challenges it with a lot of potential challenges it helps you sort of like address that from helps you sort of like address that from helps you sort of like address that from the Geo so I think that having a good the Geo so I think that having a good the Geo so I think that having a good structure that allows you to be creative structure that allows you to be creative structure that allows you to be creative and allows you to explore those networks and allows you to explore those networks and allows you to explore those networks is is really really is is really really is is really really important great thanks Anna and then important great thanks Anna and then important great thanks Anna and then just to wrap up on the questions that just to wrap up on the questions that just to wrap up on the questions that I've got before we open it to the floor I've got before we open it to the floor I've got before we open it to the floor what are your top recommendations when what are your top recommendations when what are your top recommendations when kicking off and facilitating a living kicking off and facilitating a living kicking off and facilitating a living lab lab lab we'll go to you Anna we'll go to you Anna we'll go to you Anna first I think for a living love in first I think for a living love in first I think for a living love in particular is explore what a living love particular is explore what a living love particular is explore what a living love is well like properly just explore what is well like properly just explore what is well like properly just explore what the methodology involves there's a lot the methodology involves there's a lot the methodology involves there's a lot of confusion between living labs and of confusion between living labs and of confusion between living labs and field labs and other things and we hope field labs and other things and we hope field labs and other things and we hope that this module will help you address that this module will help you address that this module will help you address them uh they are more complex than other them uh they are more complex than other them uh they are more complex than other interactive Innovation pieces because it interactive Innovation pieces because it interactive Innovation pieces because it has so many moving pieces so something has so many moving pieces so something has so many moving pieces so something like uh going to our course or exploring like uh going to our course or exploring like uh going to our course or exploring what other uh soil Mission living lab what other uh soil Mission living lab what other uh soil Mission living lab projects are doing which we will share projects are doing which we will share projects are doing which we will share with you uh the links so that you can go with you uh the links so that you can go with you uh the links so that you can go and explore them is really important to and explore them is really important to and explore them is really important to be able to make sure that you can be able to make sure that you can be able to make sure that you can maximize what you've done that in a maximize what you've done that in a maximize what you've done that in a practical aspect and the second one I practical aspect and the second one I practical aspect and the second one I would say would say would say definitely just be okay with failure I definitely just be okay with failure I definitely just be okay with failure I think that's one of the beauties of think that's one of the beauties of think that's one of the beauties of these models is that it allows you to these models is that it allows you to these models is that it allows you to fail adjust over the pro like adjust in fail adjust over the pro like adjust in fail adjust over the pro like adjust in the process itself and then explore the the process itself and then explore the the process itself and then explore the idea again so I would say one understand idea again so I would say one understand idea again so I would say one understand what you're getting yourself into and what you're getting yourself into and what you're getting yourself into and that's what this module is trying to do that's what this module is trying to do that's what this module is trying to do we will have a webinar as well focusing we will have a webinar as well focusing we will have a webinar as well focusing on a European example in a few weeks on a European example in a few weeks on a European example in a few weeks once that once people have had the once that once people have had the once that once people have had the chance to explore the ideas so get chance to explore the ideas so get chance to explore the ideas so get comfortable with the methodology and be comfortable with the methodology and be comfortable with the methodology and be okay with failure I would say those are okay with failure I would say those are okay with failure I would say those are my two tips for this one in particular maybe Laura I don't know uh yeah I think maybe Laura I don't know uh yeah I think maybe Laura I don't know uh yeah I think Caroline's changed well actually I was Caroline's changed well actually I was Caroline's changed well actually I was going to say that as well um that you going to say that as well um that you going to say that as well um that you said earlier about um having a framework said earlier about um having a framework said earlier about um having a framework to to hang ideas off um it's really to to hang ideas off um it's really to to hang ideas off um it's really really important but accepting that really important but accepting that really important but accepting that things are going to go wrong they're things are going to go wrong they're things are going to go wrong they're going to go wrong the whole time and going to go wrong the whole time and going to go wrong the whole time and that framework and and your processes that framework and and your processes that framework and and your processes and your methods have got to be and your methods have got to be and your methods have got to be adaptable to make to to work with that adaptable to make to to work with that adaptable to make to to work with that and it doesn't mean it's wrong it just and it doesn't mean it's wrong it just and it doesn't mean it's wrong it just means it's changing and that's means it's changing and that's means it's changing and that's absolutely fine um uh we talked about absolutely fine um uh we talked about absolutely fine um uh we talked about communication earlier I think working communication earlier I think working communication earlier I think working out as Anna said that um everyone learns out as Anna said that um everyone learns out as Anna said that um everyone learns in different ways everyone works in in different ways everyone works in in different ways everyone works in different ways and everyone communicates different ways and everyone communicates different ways and everyone communicates in different ways and understanding that in different ways and understanding that in different ways and understanding that and being able to work with people in and being able to work with people in and being able to work with people in those you know and and match that so those you know and and match that so those you know and and match that so that they feel part of the project as that they feel part of the project as that they feel part of the project as well so that everyone feels part of it well so that everyone feels part of it well so that everyone feels part of it is really important so making sure is really important so making sure is really important so making sure you've got the right communication tools you've got the right communication tools you've got the right communication tools uh in place that everyone feels that uh in place that everyone feels that uh in place that everyone feels that they can be part of it um I've also got they can be part of it um I've also got they can be part of it um I've also got time frame um particularly trials I mean time frame um particularly trials I mean time frame um particularly trials I mean Farm trials in the context of climate Farm trials in the context of climate Farm trials in the context of climate change means that there's no normal change means that there's no normal change means that there's no normal anymore in terms of a normal year so be anymore in terms of a normal year so be anymore in terms of a normal year so be prepared if you have the time to to take prepared if you have the time to to take prepared if you have the time to to take time over everything and not just find time over everything and not just find time over everything and not just find you know if one thing one year doesn't you know if one thing one year doesn't you know if one thing one year doesn't work it doesn't mean it won't work the work it doesn't mean it won't work the work it doesn't mean it won't work the next year it just means that there's not next year it just means that there's not next year it just means that there's not a normal anymore so build time into your a normal anymore so build time into your a normal anymore so build time into your plans and hopefully that will um even plans and hopefully that will um even plans and hopefully that will um even things out a bit um and finally I just things out a bit um and finally I just things out a bit um and finally I just thought had on my list this um thought had on my list this um thought had on my list this um strategies for capturing accidental data strategies for capturing accidental data strategies for capturing accidental data and it's very easy in our trials that we and it's very easy in our trials that we and it's very easy in our trials that we have a data collection methodology and have a data collection methodology and have a data collection methodology and these are the metrics we're collecting these are the metrics we're collecting these are the metrics we're collecting we're doing soil and number of we're doing soil and number of we're doing soil and number of earthworms and yield but there's a lot earthworms and yield but there's a lot earthworms and yield but there's a lot that comes out of a trial or I guess that comes out of a trial or I guess that comes out of a trial or I guess living lab which is not which you don't living lab which is not which you don't living lab which is not which you don't expect and which is totally accidental expect and which is totally accidental expect and which is totally accidental and um it's really important that you and um it's really important that you and um it's really important that you have ways of capturing that ways that have ways of capturing that ways that have ways of capturing that ways that people can um keep hold of that data people can um keep hold of that data people can um keep hold of that data because that's almost just as important because that's almost just as important because that's almost just as important often um we had that with our with our often um we had that with our with our often um we had that with our with our strip tilling Tri uh trial which Carolyn strip tilling Tri uh trial which Carolyn strip tilling Tri uh trial which Carolyn and I are working on um that they're and I are working on um that they're and I are working on um that they're measuring the yield but they didn't measuring the yield but they didn't measuring the yield but they didn't measure the well they they weren't measure the well they they weren't measure the well they they weren't specifically meant to be measuring the specifically meant to be measuring the specifically meant to be measuring the time frame and actually it found that time frame and actually it found that time frame and actually it found that all the stripped tilled crops were about all the stripped tilled crops were about all the stripped tilled crops were about two weeks behind the conventionally two weeks behind the conventionally two weeks behind the conventionally plowed crops and that's something that plowed crops and that's something that plowed crops and that's something that probably you know if we hadn't managed probably you know if we hadn't managed probably you know if we hadn't managed to capture that data that's really to capture that data that's really to capture that data that's really important but it's not in the metrics in important but it's not in the metrics in important but it's not in the metrics in the original so yeah it's capturing the original so yeah it's capturing the original so yeah it's capturing accident accidental data accident accidental data accident accidental data that's probably enough for me sorry I've that's probably enough for me sorry I've that's probably enough for me sorry I've got got got more that's great Elations yeah um I don't think I'm um Elations yeah um I don't think I'm um Elations yeah um I don't think I'm um right person to give tips as we don't right person to give tips as we don't right person to give tips as we don't have a living lab yet in CNA but I take have a living lab yet in CNA but I take have a living lab yet in CNA but I take the tips from Anna and Laura for the for the tips from Anna and Laura for the for the tips from Anna and Laura for the for later but for us when we build project later but for us when we build project later but for us when we build project for example the lighthouse uh we see for example the lighthouse uh we see for example the lighthouse uh we see that um encounter in uh on side that um encounter in uh on side that um encounter in uh on side on in

This webinar showcased novel research into nature-based solutions conducted by students of the NBSOIL Academy and explored how these solutions can be deployed to tackle soil health challenges.

NBSOIL is a Soil Mission Horizon project that trains new advisers in deploying six rigorously tested nature-based methods; paludiculture, blue-green infrastructure, cover crops, organic fertiliser, bioremediation, and forest diversification to address critical soil threats. Through an innovative blended learning programme, NBSOIL has been training a new generation of soil advisers and providing tools and resources to put nature-based solutions (NBS) into action for sustainable soil management.

The NBSOIL Academy’s Final Projects provided a unique opportunity for students to put their skills to the test and develop tangible advisory plans for implementing nature-based solutions in specific contexts. These projects enabled existing and aspiring soil advisers to apply their knowledge, receive expert mentorship, and build valuable professional networks.

*What happened:*

During this online event, participants heard from leaders of the NBSOIL Academy and attended four student final project presentations from Italy, Estonia, Sweden, and France.

🌾 *Speakers:*

* Vito Abbruzzese (Italy): A Comparative Study of Two Nature-based Solutions to Enhance Soil

* Carbon Sequestration – Biochar Application vs. Agroforestry

* Margit Laanpere (Estonia): Soil Health Restoration Strategy for Kasaritsa Market Garden – Strategic Fallow & Biological Remediation (2026–2028)

* Marei Hacke (Sweden): Archaeology in Rewetted Wetlands

* Julien Thevenin (France): Regeneration of a Clay-Limestone Soil in an Arid Mediterranean Climate through Nature-based Solutions – Mes Jardins au Naturel

The presentations highlighted innovative approaches to soil restoration, carbon sequestration, wetland management, and sustainable land use, demonstrating the practical application of nature-based solutions across diverse environmental contexts.

And this is generation of soil advisors. And this is generation of soil advisors. And this is what is this project about. I don't have what is this project about. I don't have what is this project about. I don't have to say about to say about to say about uh role of soils, why they are important uh role of soils, why they are important uh role of soils, why they are important uh uh uh in this group of people I I believe how in this group of people I I believe how in this group of people I I believe how how important for our how important for our how important for our for food, for for for climate, for our for food, for for for climate, for our for food, for for for climate, for our safety, for our health even. safety, for our health even. safety, for our health even. But we we knew that But we we knew that But we we knew that that to better manage soils, we need that to better manage soils, we need that to better manage soils, we need soil advisors, which are which could soil advisors, which are which could soil advisors, which are which could assist many clients in in in better assist many clients in in in better assist many clients in in in better make in making better decisions make in making better decisions make in making better decisions in in in agriculture, remediation, forest agriculture, remediation, forest agriculture, remediation, forest management, or urban special development management, or urban special development management, or urban special development decisions related to soil decisions related to soil decisions related to soil management. So, management. So, management. So, So, we So, we So, we got the project got the project got the project NBS Soil, Nature-Based Solutions for NBS Soil, Nature-Based Solutions for NBS Soil, Nature-Based Solutions for Soil Soil Soil Management, Management, Management, which the overall goal was to co-create. which the overall goal was to co-create. which the overall goal was to co-create.

Hello, everyone. Hello, everyone. My name is Victor Abruzzese. Uh first of My name is Victor Abruzzese. Uh first of My name is Victor Abruzzese. Uh first of all, I'd like to thank the N B Soil all, I'd like to thank the N B Soil all, I'd like to thank the N B Soil Academy for giving this Academy for giving this Academy for giving this opportunity to be here opportunity to be here opportunity to be here at this showcase. at this showcase. at this showcase. Uh Uh Uh my my my presentation is based on my final presentation is based on my final presentation is based on my final project for the N B Soil Academy. And project for the N B Soil Academy. And project for the N B Soil Academy. And because of my background, my scientific because of my background, my scientific because of my background, my scientific background in soil carbon sequestration background in soil carbon sequestration background in soil carbon sequestration and sustainable land management, I and sustainable land management, I and sustainable land management, I decide to explore biochar and decide to explore biochar and decide to explore biochar and agroforestry as two promising agroforestry as two promising agroforestry as two promising nature-based solution to enhance nature-based solution to enhance nature-based solution to enhance long-term soil carbon sequestration in long-term soil carbon sequestration in long-term soil carbon sequestration in agricultural systems. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Before Before Before discussing specific and nature-based discussing specific and nature-based discussing specific and nature-based solution, it's important to understand solution, it's important to understand solution, it's important to understand why soil carbon matters. So, soils are why soil carbon matters. So, soils are why soil carbon matters. So, soils are one of the largest carbon reservoir on one of the largest carbon reservoir on one of the largest carbon reservoir on Earth, storing more than 2,500 gigatons. Earth, storing more than 2,500 gigatons. Earth, storing more than 2,500 gigatons. So, much more than carbon stored in So, much more than carbon stored in So, much more than carbon stored in atmosphere and and vegetation combined. atmosphere and and vegetation combined. atmosphere and and vegetation combined. However, intensive agriculture and land However, intensive agriculture and land However, intensive agriculture and land degradation significantly reduce, degradation significantly reduce, degradation significantly reduce, deplete soil carbon stocks over time. deplete soil carbon stocks over time. deplete soil carbon stocks over time. And therefore, it's And therefore, it's And therefore, it's critical, it's important to to increase critical, it's important to to increase critical, it's important to to increase soil carbon sequestration not only for soil carbon sequestration not only for soil carbon sequestration not only for climate change mitigation, but also for climate change mitigation, but also for climate change mitigation, but also for improving soil health, water retention, improving soil health, water retention, improving soil health, water retention, and ecosystem resilience. So, let's now look at what nature-based So, let's now look at what nature-based So, let's now look at what nature-based solutions NBS are. So, they are actions, solutions NBS are. So, they are actions, solutions NBS are. So, they are actions, approaches approaches approaches working with the natural ecosystems to working with the natural ecosystems to working with the natural ecosystems to address environmental and climate address environmental and climate address environmental and climate challenges. And in soils, uh they uh challenges. And in soils, uh they uh challenges. And in soils, uh they uh improve ecosystem resilience while also improve ecosystem resilience while also improve ecosystem resilience while also supporting soil carbon sequestration. Uh for this presentation, I will focus Uh for this presentation, I will focus Uh for this presentation, I will focus specifically on biochar and specifically on biochar and specifically on biochar and agroforestry. I decided to select these agroforestry. I decided to select these agroforestry. I decided to select these two two two uh NBS because they represent two uh NBS because they represent two uh NBS because they represent two complementary complementary complementary uh strategies, approaches uh strategies, approaches uh strategies, approaches uh to soil carbon sequestration. And in uh to soil carbon sequestration. And in uh to soil carbon sequestration. And in particular, biochar is a carbon-rich particular, biochar is a carbon-rich particular, biochar is a carbon-rich material produced from different material produced from different material produced from different feedstocks through um feedstocks through um feedstocks through um pyrolysis under limited uh oxygen pyrolysis under limited uh oxygen pyrolysis under limited uh oxygen conditions. conditions. conditions. And biochar And biochar And biochar um um um provides long-term soil carbon storage provides long-term soil carbon storage provides long-term soil carbon storage while also improving soil fertility while also improving soil fertility while also improving soil fertility through biomass re- recycling. through biomass re- recycling. through biomass re- recycling. Agroforestry is a combination of Agroforestry is a combination of Agroforestry is a combination of different trees and crops. different trees and crops. different trees and crops. And it provide it uh provide um And it provide it uh provide um And it provide it uh provide um it supports um climate resilience and a it supports um climate resilience and a it supports um climate resilience and a range of ecosystem services including range of ecosystem services including range of ecosystem services including improved microclimate, water um improved microclimate, water um improved microclimate, water um cycling, uh and soil health. These two NBS, these two uh solutions These two NBS, these two uh solutions These two NBS, these two uh solutions sequester carbon through several sequester carbon through several sequester carbon through several mechanisms. In biochar, mechanisms. In biochar, mechanisms. In biochar, uh carbon is converted into stable uh carbon is converted into stable uh carbon is converted into stable aromatic structures that are highly aromatic structures that are highly aromatic structures that are highly resistant to decomposition. But also resistant to decomposition. But also resistant to decomposition. But also biochar can physically protect native biochar can physically protect native biochar can physically protect native soil organic carbon from further soil organic carbon from further soil organic carbon from further degradation, further oxidation because degradation, further oxidation because degradation, further oxidation because of its porous structure. of its porous structure. of its porous structure. Definitely agroforestry above ground Definitely agroforestry above ground Definitely agroforestry above ground accumulate carbon into plant biomass accumulate carbon into plant biomass accumulate carbon into plant biomass through carbon dioxide uptake and also through carbon dioxide uptake and also through carbon dioxide uptake and also below ground additional carbon is below ground additional carbon is below ground additional carbon is transferred to soil through roots and transferred to soil through roots and transferred to soil through roots and rhizodeposition. And now let's compare And now let's compare And now let's compare uh these two solutions. uh these two solutions. uh these two solutions. Biochar and agroforestry across four Biochar and agroforestry across four Biochar and agroforestry across four dimensions of technical, environmental, dimensions of technical, environmental, dimensions of technical, environmental, economic, and social considering the economic, and social considering the economic, and social considering the main opportunities, challenges, and main opportunities, challenges, and main opportunities, challenges, and issues for both biochar and issues for both biochar and issues for both biochar and agroforestry. Let's start with the first agroforestry. Let's start with the first agroforestry. Let's start with the first two dimensions, technical and two dimensions, technical and two dimensions, technical and environmental. So from a technical environmental. So from a technical environmental. So from a technical perspective, biochar provides stable and perspective, biochar provides stable and perspective, biochar provides stable and uh quantifiable, measurable high carbon uh quantifiable, measurable high carbon uh quantifiable, measurable high carbon storage. storage. storage. Uh Uh Uh but biomass supply and monitoring, but biomass supply and monitoring, but biomass supply and monitoring, reporting, and verification MRV standard reporting, and verification MRV standard reporting, and verification MRV standard standardization standardization standardization uh re- remain key challenges. uh re- remain key challenges. uh re- remain key challenges. Agroforestry, as I mentioned it uh Agroforestry, as I mentioned it uh Agroforestry, as I mentioned it uh before, improves lots of ecosystem uh before, improves lots of ecosystem uh before, improves lots of ecosystem uh functions, but it requires uh uh long functions, but it requires uh uh long functions, but it requires uh uh long time, long establishment period, and it time, long establishment period, and it time, long establishment period, and it faces carbon quantification uncertainty. faces carbon quantification uncertainty. faces carbon quantification uncertainty. Um environmentally speaking, biochar Um environmentally speaking, biochar Um environmentally speaking, biochar uh supports long-term carbon storage, uh supports long-term carbon storage, uh supports long-term carbon storage, but feedstock var- but feedstock var- but feedstock var- var- variability and potential var- variability and potential var- variability and potential contaminants like heavy metals but also contaminants like heavy metals but also contaminants like heavy metals but also the dioxin and other the dioxin and other the dioxin and other chemicals chemicals chemicals require careful monitoring and require careful monitoring and require careful monitoring and management. And finally, agroforestry management. And finally, agroforestry management. And finally, agroforestry may reduce soil erosion but competition may reduce soil erosion but competition may reduce soil erosion but competition between trees and crop and spaces between trees and crop and spaces between trees and crop and spaces selection needs careful design of the selection needs careful design of the selection needs careful design of the system of agroforestry uh system. system of agroforestry uh system. system of agroforestry uh system. Now, looking at the other two dimension, looking at the other two dimension, looking at the other two dimension, economic and and and social. So, from an economic and and and social. So, from an economic and and and social. So, from an economic perspective, biochar supports economic perspective, biochar supports economic perspective, biochar supports early benefits early yield benefits. early benefits early yield benefits. early benefits early yield benefits. However, high capital cost high capital cost high capital cost and economic viability and economic viability and economic viability uncertainty remain key challenges. uncertainty remain key challenges. uncertainty remain key challenges. Uh differently, agroforestry offers Uh differently, agroforestry offers Uh differently, agroforestry offers long-term pro-profitability long-term pro-profitability long-term pro-profitability but returns may be delayed. And from a but returns may be delayed. And from a but returns may be delayed. And from a social perspective, so socially social perspective, so socially social perspective, so socially speaking, biochar speaking, biochar speaking, biochar benefits from training and demonstration benefits from training and demonstration benefits from training and demonstration trials but awareness and advisory trials but awareness and advisory trials but awareness and advisory services remain or may re- remain services remain or may re- remain services remain or may re- remain limited. And finally, agroforestry limited. And finally, agroforestry limited. And finally, agroforestry encourage sharing knowledge encourage sharing knowledge encourage sharing knowledge but it requires long-term commitment. And based on this comparison, several And based on this comparison, several And based on this comparison, several recommendations emerge for different recommendations emerge for different recommendations emerge for different types different classes of types different classes of types different classes of stakeholders. stakeholders. stakeholders. In particular, farmers and land manager In particular, farmers and land manager In particular, farmers and land manager should adopt site-specific NBS should adopt site-specific NBS should adopt site-specific NBS strategies strategies strategies and also should combine short- and and also should combine short- and and also should combine short- and long-term approaches. long-term approaches. long-term approaches. Policy maker Policy maker Policy maker policy makers should policy makers should policy makers should improve MRV monitoring, reporting, and improve MRV monitoring, reporting, and improve MRV monitoring, reporting, and verification and provide verification and provide verification and provide financial incentives. And finally, financial incentives. And finally, financial incentives. And finally, advisors and extension services are advisors and extension services are advisors and extension services are critical and essential to deliver critical and essential to deliver critical and essential to deliver training and connect scientific training and connect scientific training and connect scientific knowledge with knowledge with knowledge with practical implementation. And in conclusion, biochar and And in conclusion, biochar and And in conclusion, biochar and agroforestry agroforestry agroforestry offer complementary NBS pathways for offer complementary NBS pathways for offer complementary NBS pathways for soil carbon sequestration and climate soil carbon sequestration and climate soil carbon sequestration and climate resilience. resilience. resilience. Uh their success Uh their success Uh their success depends on integrated land management, depends on integrated land management, depends on integrated land management, supportive policies, and effective MRV. supportive policies, and effective MRV. supportive policies, and effective MRV. And finally, farmers and stakeholders And finally, farmers and stakeholders And finally, farmers and stakeholders need collaboration, guidance, and need collaboration, guidance, and need collaboration, guidance, and training to support adoption.

So, my work was a case study in uh So, my work was a case study in uh So, my work was a case study in uh an Estonian market garden an Estonian market garden an Estonian market garden and offering a soil health remediation and offering a soil health remediation and offering a soil health remediation plan. I saw the call for the final plan. I saw the call for the final plan. I saw the call for the final projects when I was completing uh my projects when I was completing uh my projects when I was completing uh my qualification as a horticultural qualification as a horticultural qualification as a horticultural consultant and as I'm uh consultant and as I'm uh consultant and as I'm uh quite passionate about passionate about quite passionate about passionate about quite passionate about passionate about soil health and sustainable farming soil health and sustainable farming soil health and sustainable farming practices, also uh learning to make practices, also uh learning to make practices, also uh learning to make composts and doing the microscopy composts and doing the microscopy composts and doing the microscopy uh in Dr. Elaine Ingham's soil food web uh in Dr. Elaine Ingham's soil food web uh in Dr. Elaine Ingham's soil food web school, this felt like a great match for school, this felt like a great match for school, this felt like a great match for me as an opportunity to put things I've me as an opportunity to put things I've me as an opportunity to put things I've learned into practice. learned into practice. learned into practice. But the time frame for the final But the time frame for the final But the time frame for the final projects was such that um during that projects was such that um during that projects was such that um during that time uh time uh time uh in Estonia, the ground is frozen. Here in Estonia, the ground is frozen. Here in Estonia, the ground is frozen. Here is a view out of this window during the is a view out of this window during the is a view out of this window during the winter time, so uh winter time, so uh winter time, so uh I was hoping to do a very practical I was hoping to do a very practical I was hoping to do a very practical project in farming setting, uh do soil project in farming setting, uh do soil project in farming setting, uh do soil diagnostics and then offer a remediation diagnostics and then offer a remediation diagnostics and then offer a remediation plan based on that. But as that wasn't plan based on that. But as that wasn't plan based on that. But as that wasn't uh possible during the time frame of the uh possible during the time frame of the uh possible during the time frame of the final project, I used data I had final project, I used data I had final project, I used data I had collected earlier in spring 2025 collected earlier in spring 2025 collected earlier in spring 2025 uh for another uh for another uh for another uh practice uh I did, so the data I was uh practice uh I did, so the data I was uh practice uh I did, so the data I was working here with was working here with was working here with was somewhat limited. So that is a somewhat limited. So that is a somewhat limited. So that is a disclaimer in the beginning. disclaimer in the beginning. disclaimer in the beginning. So the context So the context So the context Kasaritsa market garden was established Kasaritsa market garden was established Kasaritsa market garden was established in 2023 in 2023 in 2023 in southern Estonia in southern Estonia in southern Estonia and in and in and in they they they took a new field segment into production took a new field segment into production took a new field segment into production and experienced brassica family crop and experienced brassica family crop and experienced brassica family crop deformations. deformations. deformations. Here is a really nice picture of Here is a really nice picture of Here is a really nice picture of Kasaritsa market gardens Kasaritsa market gardens Kasaritsa market gardens produce and a perfect kohlrabi in the produce and a perfect kohlrabi in the produce and a perfect kohlrabi in the middle but that year kohlrabis were middle but that year kohlrabis were middle but that year kohlrabis were small and didn't have this nice swelling small and didn't have this nice swelling small and didn't have this nice swelling but it was like reversed raindrop but it was like reversed raindrop but it was like reversed raindrop shape and cauliflowers didn't form shape and cauliflowers didn't form shape and cauliflowers didn't form heads. heads. heads. So the assumption by the farmer was that So the assumption by the farmer was that So the assumption by the farmer was that it could be due to maybe too acidic soil it could be due to maybe too acidic soil it could be due to maybe too acidic soil that prevents nutrient uptake or that prevents nutrient uptake or that prevents nutrient uptake or deficiencies in micronutrients. deficiencies in micronutrients. deficiencies in micronutrients. As for the data collection the first As for the data collection the first As for the data collection the first step I did I looked at a digital soil step I did I looked at a digital soil step I did I looked at a digital soil map in Estonia all the soils map in Estonia all the soils map in Estonia all the soils were mapped during the Soviet time and were mapped during the Soviet time and were mapped during the Soviet time and the maps are digitalized and they are the maps are digitalized and they are the maps are digitalized and they are being renewed. So this gives the first being renewed. So this gives the first being renewed. So this gives the first indication of what kind of soil to indication of what kind of soil to indication of what kind of soil to expect. expect. expect. Then moving on to the site we took a Then moving on to the site we took a Then moving on to the site we took a soil sample for chemical soil analysis soil sample for chemical soil analysis soil sample for chemical soil analysis and the result came back that the soil and the result came back that the soil and the result came back that the soil wasn't as acidic as wasn't as acidic as wasn't as acidic as thought earlier. thought earlier. thought earlier. The pH in potassium chloride extraction, The pH in potassium chloride extraction, The pH in potassium chloride extraction, which is used in this part of the world, which is used in this part of the world, which is used in this part of the world, as a standard, as a standard, as a standard, uh was 6.1. uh was 6.1. uh was 6.1. So, maybe very slightly acidic, but So, maybe very slightly acidic, but So, maybe very slightly acidic, but boron and sulfur were critically low, boron and sulfur were critically low, boron and sulfur were critically low, and and and soil's organic carbon content was about soil's organic carbon content was about soil's organic carbon content was about 2%. Uh Uh Uh I also did a visual soil assessment, but I also did a visual soil assessment, but I also did a visual soil assessment, but the field had been cultivated the field had been cultivated the field had been cultivated just prior to that with a rotavator. So, just prior to that with a rotavator. So, just prior to that with a rotavator. So, the results aren't indicative of the the results aren't indicative of the the results aren't indicative of the real situation. real situation. real situation. Only the lower undisturbed layers Only the lower undisturbed layers Only the lower undisturbed layers uh uh uh could represent the real situation. could represent the real situation. could represent the real situation. So, So, So, tillage pan tillage pan tillage pan was was was at 25 cm. at 25 cm. at 25 cm. Also, there was evidence of limited uh Also, there was evidence of limited uh Also, there was evidence of limited uh macro pores, macro pores, macro pores, and the soil didn't have good structure, and the soil didn't have good structure, and the soil didn't have good structure, making very large, dense clods. making very large, dense clods. making very large, dense clods. Also, the aggregate stability in water Also, the aggregate stability in water Also, the aggregate stability in water was compromised, and the color of the was compromised, and the color of the was compromised, and the color of the soil was paler than that of the soil was paler than that of the soil was paler than that of the uncultivated soil, meaning uh loss of uncultivated soil, meaning uh loss of uncultivated soil, meaning uh loss of organic matter. organic matter. organic matter. Uh so, I Uh so, I Uh so, I composed a remediation plan addressing composed a remediation plan addressing composed a remediation plan addressing to correct boron and sulfur deficiency, to correct boron and sulfur deficiency, to correct boron and sulfur deficiency, and increase soil organic matter, and increase soil organic matter, and increase soil organic matter, restore soil biology, and alleviate restore soil biology, and alleviate restore soil biology, and alleviate compaction. So, compaction. So, compaction. So, all of those are intertwined, so a all of those are intertwined, so a all of those are intertwined, so a strategy would help with several of strategy would help with several of strategy would help with several of those. those. those. And um And um And um the remediation plan is purely the remediation plan is purely the remediation plan is purely theoretical at this point, so it hasn't theoretical at this point, so it hasn't theoretical at this point, so it hasn't been implemented been implemented been implemented by the farmer. by the farmer. by the farmer. And I asked help from a local And I asked help from a local And I asked help from a local regenerative regenerative regenerative advisor to briefly revise my work and advisor to briefly revise my work and advisor to briefly revise my work and give feedback. So shout out to Olivier give feedback. So shout out to Olivier give feedback. So shout out to Olivier Deschamps here for his help. Deschamps here for his help. Deschamps here for his help. So the remediation plan starts with mechanical subsoiling in the beginning mechanical subsoiling in the beginning mechanical subsoiling in the beginning of season. This is what has already of season. This is what has already of season. This is what has already passed passed passed for this year. for this year. for this year. So subsoiling with either a Yeomans plow So subsoiling with either a Yeomans plow So subsoiling with either a Yeomans plow or a broadfork if hand tools were used. or a broadfork if hand tools were used. or a broadfork if hand tools were used. And then to And then to And then to help with the sulfur deficiency help with the sulfur deficiency help with the sulfur deficiency here here here we use we use we use elemental sulfur mixed into compost. elemental sulfur mixed into compost. elemental sulfur mixed into compost. Using Using Using elemental sulfur isn't elemental sulfur isn't elemental sulfur isn't directly a nature-based solution, but directly a nature-based solution, but directly a nature-based solution, but it's an it's an it's an immediate effect while we are working immediate effect while we are working immediate effect while we are working with continuously with continuously with continuously long-term building up the organic matter long-term building up the organic matter long-term building up the organic matter in the soil, which could in the soil, which could in the soil, which could after a while start supporting the after a while start supporting the after a while start supporting the sulfur levels. sulfur levels. sulfur levels. So the sulfur is mixed into compost so So the sulfur is mixed into compost so So the sulfur is mixed into compost so that the compost biology is already that the compost biology is already that the compost biology is already primed to primed to primed to convert elemental sulfur to plant convert elemental sulfur to plant convert elemental sulfur to plant available form. And when it's applied available form. And when it's applied available form. And when it's applied with compost, with compost, with compost, the compost acts as a mulch on the beds, the compost acts as a mulch on the beds, the compost acts as a mulch on the beds, but also has this sulfur to compensate but also has this sulfur to compensate but also has this sulfur to compensate for the deficiency. for the deficiency. for the deficiency. The farmer had a The farmer had a The farmer had a plan to plan to plan to plant cucurbits in this field segment plant cucurbits in this field segment plant cucurbits in this field segment the following year. So in this plan the the following year. So in this plan the the following year. So in this plan the cucurbits are planted and to help with cucurbits are planted and to help with cucurbits are planted and to help with building soil organic matter and soil building soil organic matter and soil building soil organic matter and soil structure a diverse cover crop mix is structure a diverse cover crop mix is structure a diverse cover crop mix is sown between the rows. sown between the rows. sown between the rows. This is an approach This is an approach This is an approach this and the following that I will be this and the following that I will be this and the following that I will be sharing is an approach I learned from sharing is an approach I learned from sharing is an approach I learned from I am told Hurst from Tolhurst Organic I am told Hurst from Tolhurst Organic I am told Hurst from Tolhurst Organic Farm in UK. We had a great pleasure of Farm in UK. We had a great pleasure of Farm in UK. We had a great pleasure of hosting him in Estonia for workshops. So hosting him in Estonia for workshops. So hosting him in Estonia for workshops. So this approach is inspired by his work this approach is inspired by his work this approach is inspired by his work and the pictures here are also his. and the pictures here are also his. and the pictures here are also his. So the diverse cover crop mix contains So the diverse cover crop mix contains So the diverse cover crop mix contains at least five at least five at least five families of plants and families of plants and families of plants and is selected so that they would have is selected so that they would have is selected so that they would have different root structures deep tap roots different root structures deep tap roots different root structures deep tap roots and more shallow and fibrous roots to and more shallow and fibrous roots to and more shallow and fibrous roots to give different benefits. give different benefits. give different benefits. In June boron is applied with In June boron is applied with In June boron is applied with a foliar spray. Again this is to give an a foliar spray. Again this is to give an a foliar spray. Again this is to give an immediate effect immediate effect immediate effect while we are working on building up soil while we are working on building up soil while we are working on building up soil health. health. health. And And And >> [clears throat] >> [clears throat] >> [clears throat] >> the foliar boron application is most >> the foliar boron application is most >> the foliar boron application is most needed when the growth of the plants is needed when the growth of the plants is needed when the growth of the plants is very quick. But the soil might be dry so very quick. But the soil might be dry so very quick. But the soil might be dry so the plants have difficulty bringing the plants have difficulty bringing the plants have difficulty bringing boron up to boron up to boron up to the plant. the plant. the plant. In October the cucurbits are harvested. In October the cucurbits are harvested. In October the cucurbits are harvested. But the cover crop mix is left into But the cover crop mix is left into But the cover crop mix is left into place and by this time I assume that it place and by this time I assume that it place and by this time I assume that it will be have grown over the rows so we will be have grown over the rows so we will be have grown over the rows so we don't and the bare soil in the rows of don't and the bare soil in the rows of don't and the bare soil in the rows of the cucurbit plants. the cucurbit plants. the cucurbit plants. The diverse cover crop mix is left in The diverse cover crop mix is left in The diverse cover crop mix is left in place over winter and in the beginning place over winter and in the beginning place over winter and in the beginning early in the beginning of next year early in the beginning of next year early in the beginning of next year ramial chip wood so ramial chip wood so ramial chip wood so branches and small diameter wood is branches and small diameter wood is branches and small diameter wood is chipped and applied on the cover crop. chipped and applied on the cover crop. chipped and applied on the cover crop. This This This gives a combination of the more gives a combination of the more gives a combination of the more carbonaceous material and then the carbonaceous material and then the carbonaceous material and then the nitrogen rich cover crop nitrogen rich cover crop nitrogen rich cover crop material and sort of composts in place. material and sort of composts in place. material and sort of composts in place. This field is taken out of production This field is taken out of production This field is taken out of production and left fallow for the next year if at and left fallow for the next year if at and left fallow for the next year if at all possible all possible all possible to reserve this just for this soil has to reserve this just for this soil has to reserve this just for this soil has restoration. restoration. restoration. And a single cut of the cover crop is And a single cut of the cover crop is And a single cut of the cover crop is advisable but we'd have to see if any advisable but we'd have to see if any advisable but we'd have to see if any weeds weeds weeds start going to seed and of course the start going to seed and of course the start going to seed and of course the mowing needs to be before the weeds set mowing needs to be before the weeds set mowing needs to be before the weeds set seed and the clippings are left on the seed and the clippings are left on the seed and the clippings are left on the field to field to field to feed the soil. Then in the beginning of the next season Then in the beginning of the next season Then in the beginning of the next season the cover crop is the cover crop is the cover crop is shallowly terminated shallowly terminated shallowly terminated so not to disturb the structure that has so not to disturb the structure that has so not to disturb the structure that has been built been built been built using a power harrow or disc cultivator. using a power harrow or disc cultivator. using a power harrow or disc cultivator. And if necessary a second pass And if necessary a second pass And if necessary a second pass will be done 10 days later and then the will be done 10 days later and then the will be done 10 days later and then the beds are formed and immediately mulched beds are formed and immediately mulched beds are formed and immediately mulched to protect the soil. to protect the soil. to protect the soil. And using a good quality compost. And from there on the farmer will be And from there on the farmer will be And from there on the farmer will be doing her practices as usual but I doing her practices as usual but I doing her practices as usual but I suggest suggest suggest as an ongoing maintenance always so as an ongoing maintenance always so as an ongoing maintenance always so cover crop after season's final harvest. cover crop after season's final harvest. cover crop after season's final harvest. So here I just suggest a winter killed So here I just suggest a winter killed So here I just suggest a winter killed cover crop because cover crop because cover crop because there's not much risk using it. It's there's not much risk using it. It's there's not much risk using it. It's killed by the frost and you don't have killed by the frost and you don't have killed by the frost and you don't have the extra step the extra step the extra step of terminating it the next of terminating it the next of terminating it the next spring. spring. spring. And facelia, buckwheat and oats could be And facelia, buckwheat and oats could be And facelia, buckwheat and oats could be used. And then as the seed is broadcast used. And then as the seed is broadcast used. And then as the seed is broadcast on top of the on top of the on top of the beds, beds, beds, thin layer of compost is added so to thin layer of compost is added so to thin layer of compost is added so to cover the seed cover the seed cover the seed from the birds, but also to add from the birds, but also to add from the birds, but also to add additional organic matter and biology. additional organic matter and biology. additional organic matter and biology. And in the beginning of next And in the beginning of next And in the beginning of next season broadforking if necessary if season broadforking if necessary if season broadforking if necessary if compaction still remains. And during the compaction still remains. And during the compaction still remains. And during the season under sowings of living mulches season under sowings of living mulches season under sowings of living mulches where possible. where possible. where possible. So this is briefly it and So this is briefly it and So this is briefly it and after all the presentations we can take after all the presentations we can take after all the presentations we can take questions I understand. questions I understand. questions I understand. So thank you. >> Thank you very much Margit. That was >> Thank you very much Margit. That was >> Thank you very much Margit. That was fantastic. Plenty of detail there on how fantastic. Plenty of detail there on how fantastic. Plenty of detail there on how you're addressing sort of really you're addressing sort of really you're addressing sort of really specific things. So I do specific things. So I do specific things. So I do I do if if anyone wants to ask about any I do if if anyone wants to ask about any I do if if anyone wants to ask about any of those I'm of those I'm of those I'm I think we'll have a good time talking I think we'll have a good time talking I think we'll have a good time talking about specific practices later. about specific practices later. about specific practices later. We're going to move on now to Murray We're going to move on now to Murray We're going to move on now to Murray who has been who has been who has been completing a project completing a project completing a project looking at the archaeology looking at the archaeology looking at the archaeology archaeology in re-wetted peatlands and archaeology in re-wetted peatlands and archaeology in re-wetted peatlands and and so Murray I'm not going to say too and so Murray I'm not going to say too and so Murray I'm not going to say too much. I'm just going to let you lead us much. I'm just going to let you lead us much. I'm just going to let you lead us into it. So thank you very much for into it. So thank you very much for into it. So thank you very much for sharing. sharing. sharing. >> Thank you very much. >> Thank you very much. >> Thank you very much. I'll go back one step. So my name is I'll go back one step. So my name is I'll go back one step. So my name is Murray Hacket and I work at the Swedish Murray Hacket and I work at the Swedish Murray Hacket and I work at the Swedish National Heritage Board. I've also National Heritage Board. I've also National Heritage Board. I've also completed some of the courses on EMBSoil completed some of the courses on EMBSoil completed some of the courses on EMBSoil and yeah, would like to start by and yeah, would like to start by and yeah, would like to start by thanking EMBSoil for giving me this thanking EMBSoil for giving me this thanking EMBSoil for giving me this opportunity to do this opportunity to do this opportunity to do this project within their framework. project within their framework. project within their framework. Um Um Um Basically, I'm looking at It's a Basically, I'm looking at It's a Basically, I'm looking at It's a literature study on the archaeology in literature study on the archaeology in literature study on the archaeology in re-wetted peatlands and just to start re-wetted peatlands and just to start re-wetted peatlands and just to start with a really brief overview of the with a really brief overview of the with a really brief overview of the importance of peatlands. importance of peatlands. importance of peatlands. They are very unique ecosystems that They are very unique ecosystems that They are very unique ecosystems that provide ecosystem services, um provide ecosystem services, um provide ecosystem services, um regulating services such as carbon regulating services such as carbon regulating services such as carbon sequestration and um water regulation, sequestration and um water regulation, sequestration and um water regulation, but also cultural but also cultural but also cultural um ecosystem services for recreation and um ecosystem services for recreation and um ecosystem services for recreation and importantly for me, um importantly for me, um importantly for me, um they are an archaeological archive. they are an archaeological archive. they are an archaeological archive. So, on the right-hand side here, you see So, on the right-hand side here, you see So, on the right-hand side here, you see a a a a little graph that shows the importance a little graph that shows the importance a little graph that shows the importance in terms of carbon sequestration and in terms of carbon sequestration and in terms of carbon sequestration and this is enormous in peatlands. It's the this is enormous in peatlands. It's the this is enormous in peatlands. It's the largest store of terrestrial largest store of terrestrial largest store of terrestrial carbon. carbon. carbon. That obviously has That obviously has That obviously has given it a lot of political influence given it a lot of political influence given it a lot of political influence and um and um and um they even if nowadays a lot of they even if nowadays a lot of they even if nowadays a lot of the the ambitions in terms of net net the the ambitions in terms of net net the the ambitions in terms of net net nature restoration are being backscaled, nature restoration are being backscaled, nature restoration are being backscaled, there is still a lot of money left for there is still a lot of money left for there is still a lot of money left for re-wetting peatlands because the re-wetting peatlands because the re-wetting peatlands because the opportunities are enormous. opportunities are enormous. opportunities are enormous. By re-wetting peatlands, the idea is By re-wetting peatlands, the idea is By re-wetting peatlands, the idea is that they go from a degraded that they go from a degraded that they go from a degraded um um um carbon source to actually becoming a carbon source to actually becoming a carbon source to actually becoming a carbon sink again and that it's a carbon sink again and that it's a carbon sink again and that it's a it's almost a quick fix it's almost a quick fix it's almost a quick fix um um um with yeah, with enormous potentials for with yeah, with enormous potentials for with yeah, with enormous potentials for carbon drawdown. carbon drawdown. carbon drawdown. So, I'm working in a Swedish context um So, I'm working in a Swedish context um So, I'm working in a Swedish context um and even here, we have um and even here, we have um and even here, we have um quite a big pot of money for re-wetting quite a big pot of money for re-wetting quite a big pot of money for re-wetting wetlands wetlands wetlands and it's also one of the Swedish quality and it's also one of the Swedish quality and it's also one of the Swedish quality environmental quality objectives is environmental quality objectives is environmental quality objectives is thriving wetlands. It's that little frog thriving wetlands. It's that little frog thriving wetlands. It's that little frog there in the middle in the middle. there in the middle in the middle. there in the middle in the middle. Um but it's the same all over Europe and Um but it's the same all over Europe and Um but it's the same all over Europe and I think in many other countries in the I think in many other countries in the I think in many other countries in the world also that world also that world also that this is an environmental priority. Um Um Um So as I said, one of the services that So as I said, one of the services that So as I said, one of the services that ecos that peatlands provide is also that ecos that peatlands provide is also that ecos that peatlands provide is also that they act as archaeological archives. So they act as archaeological archives. So they act as archaeological archives. So there are lots of different types of there are lots of different types of there are lots of different types of wetlands. wetlands. wetlands. Many of them produce peat. And that's Many of them produce peat. And that's Many of them produce peat. And that's also my focus because those are the ones also my focus because those are the ones also my focus because those are the ones that have the highest potential in that have the highest potential in that have the highest potential in preserving materials. So the common preserving materials. So the common preserving materials. So the common remains that can be found are remains that can be found are remains that can be found are sacrificial sites, settlement sites, sacrificial sites, settlement sites, sacrificial sites, settlement sites, causeways, and so on. causeways, and so on. causeways, and so on. And there are a lot of different types And there are a lot of different types And there are a lot of different types of materials that can be preserved such of materials that can be preserved such of materials that can be preserved such as textiles, leather, as textiles, leather, as textiles, leather, bone, horn, and so on. bone, horn, and so on. bone, horn, and so on. Um Um Um Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. The pictures here just show some of The pictures here just show some of The pictures here just show some of these iconic finds and from Swedish these iconic finds and from Swedish these iconic finds and from Swedish context. So Bocksten's Man, for example, context. So Bocksten's Man, for example, context. So Bocksten's Man, for example, is a is a medieval um is a is a medieval um is a is a medieval um man who was found with the entire outfit man who was found with the entire outfit man who was found with the entire outfit basically. So it's totally unique to basically. So it's totally unique to basically. So it's totally unique to have this have this have this kind of dress from medieval times so kind of dress from medieval times so kind of dress from medieval times so well preserved. But well preserved. But well preserved. But Yeah, also swords and entire Yeah, also swords and entire Yeah, also swords and entire settlements. And here you can see this is probably And here you can see this is probably And here you can see this is probably something that many people are aware of, something that many people are aware of, something that many people are aware of, the bog bodies that are found in the bog bodies that are found in the bog bodies that are found in northern Europe. Um northern Europe northern Europe. Um northern Europe northern Europe. Um northern Europe really sticks out because that is where really sticks out because that is where really sticks out because that is where peatlands are um peatlands are um peatlands are um concentrated much more so than in concentrated much more so than in concentrated much more so than in southern Europe. southern Europe. southern Europe. And these are the finds over time. Of And these are the finds over time. Of And these are the finds over time. Of course, finds are usually made when a course, finds are usually made when a course, finds are usually made when a bog is drained and used for extraction. bog is drained and used for extraction. bog is drained and used for extraction. You don't go out and find archaeology. You don't go out and find archaeology. You don't go out and find archaeology. You find archaeology in the You find archaeology in the You find archaeology in the in the context of extractive activities. in the context of extractive activities. in the context of extractive activities. So, if there are missing dots or miss So, if there are missing dots or miss So, if there are missing dots or miss areas without anything, then it doesn't areas without anything, then it doesn't areas without anything, then it doesn't mean that there isn't anything there. It mean that there isn't anything there. It mean that there isn't anything there. It just means that that area hasn't been just means that that area hasn't been just means that that area hasn't been exploited. And because of the And because of the And because of the exceptional exceptional exceptional preservative of peatlands, this has also preservative of peatlands, this has also preservative of peatlands, this has also received political attention and um received political attention and um received political attention and um the in situ recommend recommendation for the in situ recommend recommendation for the in situ recommend recommendation for in situ preservation of archaeology. in situ preservation of archaeology. in situ preservation of archaeology. Um there are a lot of international Um there are a lot of international Um there are a lot of international conventions from ICOMOS, from the United conventions from ICOMOS, from the United conventions from ICOMOS, from the United Nations, from the Council of Europe, and Nations, from the Council of Europe, and Nations, from the Council of Europe, and everybody agrees that the best way everybody agrees that the best way everybody agrees that the best way forward is to keep archaeology in the forward is to keep archaeology in the forward is to keep archaeology in the ground, protect these wetlands, and ground, protect these wetlands, and ground, protect these wetlands, and protect the archival record that's protect the archival record that's protect the archival record that's that's there, protected in situ. that's there, protected in situ. that's there, protected in situ. So, that actually sounds like a great So, that actually sounds like a great So, that actually sounds like a great synergy. It's great for nature. It's synergy. It's great for nature. It's synergy. It's great for nature. It's great for archaeology. What's the great for archaeology. What's the great for archaeology. What's the problem? The problem is that these two problem? The problem is that these two problem? The problem is that these two fields don't really speak to each other. fields don't really speak to each other. fields don't really speak to each other. Um which can lead to conflicts. Um Um which can lead to conflicts. Um Um which can lead to conflicts. Um If archaeologists or the cultural If archaeologists or the cultural If archaeologists or the cultural heritage sector says we need to protect heritage sector says we need to protect heritage sector says we need to protect these areas, then that can sometimes these areas, then that can sometimes these areas, then that can sometimes mean that even drained areas mean that even drained areas mean that even drained areas uh uh uh um um um when a a wetland project is being when a a wetland project is being when a a wetland project is being planned, that the planned, that the planned, that the the the municipalities that then have to the the municipalities that then have to the the municipalities that then have to decide on giving permission would say, decide on giving permission would say, decide on giving permission would say, "No, we know that this is an "No, we know that this is an "No, we know that this is an archaeologically important area. We archaeologically important area. We archaeologically important area. We don't permit any work to be any changes don't permit any work to be any changes don't permit any work to be any changes to be to take place." to be to take place." to be to take place." Even though Even though Even though we know that rewetting a wetland would we know that rewetting a wetland would we know that rewetting a wetland would potentially save the archaeology that's potentially save the archaeology that's potentially save the archaeology that's in the ground, at least theoretically. in the ground, at least theoretically. in the ground, at least theoretically. But the problem is that But the problem is that But the problem is that this is just a theory and there is this is just a theory and there is this is just a theory and there is hardly any empirical knowledge about hardly any empirical knowledge about hardly any empirical knowledge about this. this. this. So, the studies that exist So, the studies that exist So, the studies that exist on archaeology in wetlands show on archaeology in wetlands show on archaeology in wetlands show what is there and how degradative it is what is there and how degradative it is what is there and how degradative it is to drain. to drain. to drain. But not what happens when you re-wet, But not what happens when you re-wet, But not what happens when you re-wet, and that's because it hasn't really been and that's because it hasn't really been and that's because it hasn't really been done. done. done. >> [laughter] >> [laughter] >> [laughter] >> It's It's something that's really >> It's It's something that's really >> It's It's something that's really upscaling now with huge projects upscaling now with huge projects upscaling now with huge projects underway, but the worry is that maybe it underway, but the worry is that maybe it underway, but the worry is that maybe it has even more negative effects. has even more negative effects. has even more negative effects. So, then the conflicts can be that So, then the conflicts can be that So, then the conflicts can be that either the archaeological function is either the archaeological function is either the archaeological function is just is neglected in the people who are just is neglected in the people who are just is neglected in the people who are trying to trying to trying to um the nature conservancy agencies that um the nature conservancy agencies that um the nature conservancy agencies that are trying to are trying to are trying to establish this or they're just Yeah, establish this or they're just Yeah, establish this or they're just Yeah, people are trying to be too people are trying to be too people are trying to be too too um restrictive. too um restrictive. too um restrictive. So, that's where my literature study So, that's where my literature study So, that's where my literature study comes in. I'm looking at what is comes in. I'm looking at what is comes in. I'm looking at what is actually known and I'm going to hop over actually known and I'm going to hop over actually known and I'm going to hop over this. These are just very simplified why this. These are just very simplified why this. These are just very simplified why um peatlands are so important. um peatlands are so important. um peatlands are so important. Um Once you drain, the dehydration, Once you drain, the dehydration, Once you drain, the dehydration, oxidation, acidification will really oxidation, acidification will really oxidation, acidification will really harm any materials left in the ground. harm any materials left in the ground. harm any materials left in the ground. So, So, So, this has been documented over time. this has been documented over time. this has been documented over time. Severe degradation. Severe degradation. Severe degradation. Um Um Um But what happens when you re-wet? Well, But what happens when you re-wet? Well, But what happens when you re-wet? Well, the water will become saturated again, the water will become saturated again, the water will become saturated again, the pore structure will be saturated. the pore structure will be saturated. the pore structure will be saturated. Water levels may be vary. Um Water levels may be vary. Um Water levels may be vary. Um it will go from an aerobic environment it will go from an aerobic environment it will go from an aerobic environment back to an anaerobic environment and the back to an anaerobic environment and the back to an anaerobic environment and the vegetation also adapts. vegetation also adapts. vegetation also adapts. And there will be physical, chemical, And there will be physical, chemical, And there will be physical, chemical, biological effects, and this is I've biological effects, and this is I've biological effects, and this is I've structured them with for literature structured them with for literature structured them with for literature study in those study in those study in those um along those lines. So, physical um along those lines. So, physical um along those lines. So, physical effects effects effects First of all, this is what many people First of all, this is what many people First of all, this is what many people are really worried about is that the are really worried about is that the are really worried about is that the work that has to work that has to work that has to go into re-wetting a wetland means that go into re-wetting a wetland means that go into re-wetting a wetland means that trees are often removed, that drainages trees are often removed, that drainages trees are often removed, that drainages have to be blocked, that maybe the have to be blocked, that maybe the have to be blocked, that maybe the topsoil has to be removed, and different topsoil has to be removed, and different topsoil has to be removed, and different vegetation has to be established. And vegetation has to be established. And vegetation has to be established. And that means driving over the areas with that means driving over the areas with that means driving over the areas with diggers. diggers. diggers. Now, of course, that leads to a lot of Now, of course, that leads to a lot of Now, of course, that leads to a lot of compaction and potentially to the compaction and potentially to the compaction and potentially to the degradation of any materials that are degradation of any materials that are degradation of any materials that are still in the ground. still in the ground. still in the ground. Um but the drainage itself can also have Um but the drainage itself can also have Um but the drainage itself can also have that same kind of effect because that same kind of effect because that same kind of effect because um long-term drainage of peat reduces um long-term drainage of peat reduces um long-term drainage of peat reduces the pore structure of the peat, which the pore structure of the peat, which the pore structure of the peat, which increases bulk density and leads to increases bulk density and leads to increases bulk density and leads to ground subsidence ground subsidence ground subsidence and compression. That's the physical effects. If we go to That's the physical effects. If we go to That's the physical effects. If we go to the chemical effects, the chemical effects, the chemical effects, then the influx due to drainage, the then the influx due to drainage, the then the influx due to drainage, the influx of oxygen influx of oxygen influx of oxygen in the peat layers leads to an increased in the peat layers leads to an increased in the peat layers leads to an increased microbial activity and also, crucially, microbial activity and also, crucially, microbial activity and also, crucially, a changed microbial activity. We're a changed microbial activity. We're a changed microbial activity. We're going from an anaerobic to an aerobic going from an anaerobic to an aerobic going from an anaerobic to an aerobic environment, environment, environment, which leads to formation of more organic which leads to formation of more organic which leads to formation of more organic acids and mildly lowers the pH. acids and mildly lowers the pH. acids and mildly lowers the pH. If the peatland is situated over a If the peatland is situated over a If the peatland is situated over a former marine environment, then it's former marine environment, then it's former marine environment, then it's quite likely that there are sulfur-rich quite likely that there are sulfur-rich quite likely that there are sulfur-rich sediments, sediments, sediments, and that, combined with iron in the and that, combined with iron in the and that, combined with iron in the soil, can lead to uh sulfuric acids. soil, can lead to uh sulfuric acids. soil, can lead to uh sulfuric acids. Now, those greatly lower the pH. And so, Now, those greatly lower the pH. And so, Now, those greatly lower the pH. And so, if there are sulfuric acids developing, if there are sulfuric acids developing, if there are sulfuric acids developing, it's it's it's completely destructive to most completely destructive to most completely destructive to most materials. Metals will hopelessly materials. Metals will hopelessly materials. Metals will hopelessly corrode, corrode, corrode, um bones completely dissolve, and there um bones completely dissolve, and there um bones completely dissolve, and there will be very little left. will be very little left. will be very little left. That's the biological effects that need That's the biological effects that need That's the biological effects that need to be taken into consideration um to be taken into consideration um to be taken into consideration um once the uh peat once the uh peat once the uh peat peat area is drained, peat area is drained, peat area is drained, um it allows microfauna to move in. So, um it allows microfauna to move in. So, um it allows microfauna to move in. So, earthworms, for example, can establish earthworms, for example, can establish earthworms, for example, can establish themselves. themselves. themselves. Earthworms usually, in uh in terms of Earthworms usually, in uh in terms of Earthworms usually, in uh in terms of soil health, are something positive. If soil health, are something positive. If soil health, are something positive. If you look at archaeology, they're not. you look at archaeology, they're not. you look at archaeology, they're not. Um they can really mess up the Um they can really mess up the Um they can really mess up the archaeological stratigraphy and bring archaeological stratigraphy and bring archaeological stratigraphy and bring for example, archaeological pollen from for example, archaeological pollen from for example, archaeological pollen from very deep layers into the top, and in very deep layers into the top, and in very deep layers into the top, and in the end, you don't know what's what the end, you don't know what's what the end, you don't know what's what anymore in terms of a timeline. anymore in terms of a timeline. anymore in terms of a timeline. Um different types of vegetation can Um different types of vegetation can Um different types of vegetation can also cause problems as roots and also cause problems as roots and also cause problems as roots and rhizomes can destroy rhizomes can destroy rhizomes can destroy uh materials by piercing them, and uh materials by piercing them, and uh materials by piercing them, and that's the two images there at the that's the two images there at the that's the two images there at the bottom. These are archaeological wooden bottom. These are archaeological wooden bottom. These are archaeological wooden objects, and you see all these holes are objects, and you see all these holes are objects, and you see all these holes are caused by roots. caused by roots. caused by roots. Um so, that's just things to be taken Um so, that's just things to be taken Um so, that's just things to be taken into consideration. For example, if we into consideration. For example, if we into consideration. For example, if we know that this is a wetland where know that this is a wetland where know that this is a wetland where um marsh horsetail is likely to um marsh horsetail is likely to um marsh horsetail is likely to establish, well, that has roots that are establish, well, that has roots that are establish, well, that has roots that are super long and strong and detrimental, super long and strong and detrimental, super long and strong and detrimental, whereas peat moss whereas peat moss whereas peat moss just sits on the surface and eventually just sits on the surface and eventually just sits on the surface and eventually turns into peat and this uh turns into peat and this uh turns into peat and this uh creates a nice covering layer.

Um, in the interest of time, I'm just going to kind interest of time, I'm just going to kind interest of time, I'm just going to kind of give you all an opportunity to speak of give you all an opportunity to speak of give you all an opportunity to speak to some of them. So, to some of them. So, to some of them. So, um, Vito, I I am um, Vito, I I am um, Vito, I I am there's been some questions about sort there's been some questions about sort there's been some questions about sort of biochar and agroforestry. of biochar and agroforestry. of biochar and agroforestry. Um, and their sort of respective Um, and their sort of respective Um, and their sort of respective benefits, I suppose. My question for you benefits, I suppose. My question for you benefits, I suppose. My question for you is obviously carbon is a big factor. is obviously carbon is a big factor. is obviously carbon is a big factor. There are obviously many other factors There are obviously many other factors There are obviously many other factors involved in choosing what's more involved in choosing what's more involved in choosing what's more appropriate, what mixture of the two in appropriate, what mixture of the two in appropriate, what mixture of the two in a given location. Um, I know Michelle a given location. Um, I know Michelle a given location. Um, I know Michelle has mentioned economic, energetic has mentioned economic, energetic has mentioned economic, energetic effectiveness. Do you want to talk about effectiveness. Do you want to talk about effectiveness. Do you want to talk about that a little bit because I'm sure you that a little bit because I'm sure you that a little bit because I'm sure you will have some good thoughts. will have some good thoughts. will have some good thoughts. >> Yeah, sure. Well, I have mentioned in my >> Yeah, sure. Well, I have mentioned in my >> Yeah, sure. Well, I have mentioned in my presentation that, you know, these two presentation that, you know, these two presentation that, you know, these two approaches, biochar and agroforestry, approaches, biochar and agroforestry, approaches, biochar and agroforestry, must be considered as as site-specific must be considered as as site-specific must be considered as as site-specific measures. So, you have to consider measures. So, you have to consider measures. So, you have to consider different aspect factors. Not only, you different aspect factors. Not only, you different aspect factors. Not only, you know, the amount of carbon you can store know, the amount of carbon you can store know, the amount of carbon you can store in the soil. For example, there are in the soil. For example, there are in the soil. For example, there are aspect in terms of, you know, the aspect in terms of, you know, the aspect in terms of, you know, the economy, the social economy, the social economy, the social approach approach approach uh, uh, uh, from farmers, land owners for these two from farmers, land owners for these two from farmers, land owners for these two um, you know, you know, you know, and and and this compared to and and and this compared to and and and this compared to conventional approaches. So, it depends, conventional approaches. So, it depends, conventional approaches. So, it depends, for example, for example, for example, on the on the on the objective that farmers want to wants to objective that farmers want to wants to objective that farmers want to wants to consider for his land. The social consider for his land. The social consider for his land. The social approach, if there are a culture in that approach, if there are a culture in that approach, if there are a culture in that areas, in particular in rural area of, areas, in particular in rural area of, areas, in particular in rural area of, you know, Europe to to adopt to use you know, Europe to to adopt to use you know, Europe to to adopt to use other conventional, traditional other conventional, traditional other conventional, traditional uh, practices. The environmental factors uh, practices. The environmental factors uh, practices. The environmental factors or the climate, soil types, grow crop or the climate, soil types, grow crop or the climate, soil types, grow crop types as well. So, types as well. So, types as well. So, So, it it depends they are a mixture of So, it it depends they are a mixture of So, it it depends they are a mixture of different aspects. different aspects. different aspects. In the end, if you want to to consider In the end, if you want to to consider In the end, if you want to to consider if one is better of the other one, if one is better of the other one, if one is better of the other one, pasture versus agroforestry, so it's pasture versus agroforestry, so it's pasture versus agroforestry, so it's good to good to good to analyze all these aspects. In case you analyze all these aspects. In case you analyze all these aspects. In case you want something very rapid and stable, want something very rapid and stable, want something very rapid and stable, I'd say I'd say I'd say focus more on biochar. Or if you want to focus more on biochar. Or if you want to focus more on biochar. Or if you want to something something something longer term longer term longer term response and including some ecosystem response and including some ecosystem response and including some ecosystem factors aspect, probably opt for factors aspect, probably opt for factors aspect, probably opt for agroforestry. So, it's very agroforestry. So, it's very agroforestry. So, it's very difficult because there are two it's difficult because there are two it's difficult because there are two it's they are not so easily they are not so easily they are not so easily comparable systems, yeah. Above all, comparable systems, yeah. Above all, comparable systems, yeah. Above all, yeah. yeah. yeah. >> It's a good reminder that um these are >> It's a good reminder that um these are >> It's a good reminder that um these are very complex contexts operating across very complex contexts operating across very complex contexts operating across scales with different stakeholders, with scales with different stakeholders, with scales with different stakeholders, with different needs, and that will obviously different needs, and that will obviously different needs, and that will obviously determine what's right. Um determine what's right. Um determine what's right. Um Marikit, there's a few quite interesting Marikit, there's a few quite interesting Marikit, there's a few quite interesting questions for you based on your plans. I questions for you based on your plans. I questions for you based on your plans. I just I'm just going to kind of draw a just I'm just going to kind of draw a just I'm just going to kind of draw a few of them together. So, um Armando has few of them together. So, um Armando has few of them together. So, um Armando has asked if you leave the wood chips um asked if you leave the wood chips um asked if you leave the wood chips um on the entire land. Um on the entire land. Um on the entire land. Um Uh we've got a question about sulfur Uh we've got a question about sulfur Uh we've got a question about sulfur um being mixed into the compost, but are um being mixed into the compost, but are um being mixed into the compost, but are there might be um uh natural there might be um uh natural there might be um uh natural alternatives. Um alternatives. Um alternatives. Um And then a little bit about um And then a little bit about um And then a little bit about um subsoiling and subsoiling and subsoiling and uh uh uh and and sort of how um you balance the and and sort of how um you balance the and and sort of how um you balance the depth of that between sort of depth of that between sort of depth of that between sort of the tillage process and the subsoiling the tillage process and the subsoiling the tillage process and the subsoiling process with with different biological process with with different biological process with with different biological activity. Do you want to answer any of activity. Do you want to answer any of activity. Do you want to answer any of those? those? those? >> Yeah, sure. I can try. >> Yeah, sure. I can try. >> Yeah, sure. I can try. Uh as for the wood chips, so the wood Uh as for the wood chips, so the wood Uh as for the wood chips, so the wood chips in this particular case that I chips in this particular case that I chips in this particular case that I proposed in this remediation plan. proposed in this remediation plan. proposed in this remediation plan. Uh Uh Uh >> [clears throat] >> [clears throat] >> [clears throat] >> This is a field segment that is taken >> This is a field segment that is taken >> This is a field segment that is taken out of production and it doesn't have out of production and it doesn't have out of production and it doesn't have beds and beds and beds and paths at this time because it wasn't uh paths at this time because it wasn't uh paths at this time because it wasn't uh with permanent beds with permanent beds with permanent beds until now. So, until now. So, until now. So, there is this cover crop going there is this cover crop going there is this cover crop going growing everywhere and the wood chip growing everywhere and the wood chip growing everywhere and the wood chip also basically going over the cover crop also basically going over the cover crop also basically going over the cover crop with very very thin layer, less than 1 with very very thin layer, less than 1 with very very thin layer, less than 1 cm. So, it actually isn't like a whole cm. So, it actually isn't like a whole cm. So, it actually isn't like a whole layer of the wood chip. So, it's the layer of the wood chip. So, it's the layer of the wood chip. So, it's the whole field segment that has this cover whole field segment that has this cover whole field segment that has this cover crop and the wood chip for this crop and the wood chip for this crop and the wood chip for this one season to sort of compost in place one season to sort of compost in place one season to sort of compost in place and then shallowly worked in in the and then shallowly worked in in the and then shallowly worked in in the beginning of next season and then the beginning of next season and then the beginning of next season and then the beds are formed. beds are formed. beds are formed. As for the sulfur in the compost, this As for the sulfur in the compost, this As for the sulfur in the compost, this is is is a nice suggestion. I was also uh a nice suggestion. I was also uh a nice suggestion. I was also uh looking at uh mustard meal, mustard seed looking at uh mustard meal, mustard seed looking at uh mustard meal, mustard seed meal. meal. meal. Uh it was uh it's Uh it was uh it's Uh it was uh it's high in sulfur and also could be used as high in sulfur and also could be used as high in sulfur and also could be used as an an an uh organic amendment to add sulfur. uh organic amendment to add sulfur. uh organic amendment to add sulfur. Uh the Uh the Uh the uh onions and leeks and the plant uh onions and leeks and the plant uh onions and leeks and the plant residues uh of course, uh those are used residues uh of course, uh those are used residues uh of course, uh those are used in this uh market garden. Whatever is in this uh market garden. Whatever is in this uh market garden. Whatever is left from their own produce is put on left from their own produce is put on left from their own produce is put on the compost and that compost is used on the compost and that compost is used on the compost and that compost is used on the fields. But, uh when the fields are the fields. But, uh when the fields are the fields. But, uh when the fields are deficient and there are crops going out deficient and there are crops going out deficient and there are crops going out to the market, then this wouldn't be to the market, then this wouldn't be to the market, then this wouldn't be enough and uh there would have to be enough and uh there would have to be enough and uh there would have to be sort of sourcing of onion residues. sort of sourcing of onion residues. sort of sourcing of onion residues. Uh Uh Uh I'm not sure if we could find like an I'm not sure if we could find like an I'm not sure if we could find like an organic farm producing only onions and organic farm producing only onions and organic farm producing only onions and leeks and offering their plant residues leeks and offering their plant residues leeks and offering their plant residues for the compost. If there was such a for the compost. If there was such a for the compost. If there was such a case, that would be a very good option. case, that would be a very good option. case, that would be a very good option. Uh, so Uh, so Uh, so uh, uh, uh, as for the third question about the as for the third question about the as for the third question about the subsoiling, in this particular subsoiling, in this particular subsoiling, in this particular particular approach, the subsoiling is particular approach, the subsoiling is particular approach, the subsoiling is done again uh done again uh done again uh as the very first step before any other as the very first step before any other as the very first step before any other remediation is done. So, hopefully that remediation is done. So, hopefully that remediation is done. So, hopefully that would be the only time doing the sub- would be the only time doing the sub- would be the only time doing the sub- subsoiling and the subsequent steps subsoiling and the subsequent steps subsoiling and the subsequent steps would help to build the structure so would help to build the structure so would help to build the structure so that uh no subsoiling is necessary, but that uh no subsoiling is necessary, but that uh no subsoiling is necessary, but if still after these steps uh if still after these steps uh if still after these steps uh the compaction is such that uh the compaction is such that uh the compaction is such that uh the field can't be used for production, the field can't be used for production, the field can't be used for production, then as little as necessary and at that then as little as necessary and at that then as little as necessary and at that point there should be by this plan be point there should be by this plan be point there should be by this plan be permanent beds, so just using the permanent beds, so just using the permanent beds, so just using the uh broadfork and uh it is after the uh broadfork and uh it is after the uh broadfork and uh it is after the cover is terminated in the spring, so cover is terminated in the spring, so cover is terminated in the spring, so there is no living mulch at that point. there is no living mulch at that point. there is no living mulch at that point. So, this is the beginning of the uh So, this is the beginning of the uh So, this is the beginning of the uh season. The overwintered season. The overwintered season. The overwintered if there is a overwintered cover crop, if there is a overwintered cover crop, if there is a overwintered cover crop, it is terminated shallowly and then the it is terminated shallowly and then the it is terminated shallowly and then the broadfork is used, but only if broadfork is used, but only if broadfork is used, but only if necessary. necessary. necessary. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. >> Very comprehensive. >> Very comprehensive. >> Very comprehensive. Very Very Very very good to kind of get thoughts on very good to kind of get thoughts on very good to kind of get thoughts on that. Um, uh that. Um, uh that. Um, uh Mari, I just wanted to ask you a Mari, I just wanted to ask you a Mari, I just wanted to ask you a question. Um question. Um question. Um just sort of based on what you said in just sort of based on what you said in just sort of based on what you said in terms of preservation um terms of preservation um terms of preservation um and sort of extraction, I wondered how and sort of extraction, I wondered how and sort of extraction, I wondered how how do we kind of um make best use of how do we kind of um make best use of how do we kind of um make best use of the archives that are available in these the archives that are available in these the archives that are available in these wetlands without wetlands without wetlands without damaging them basically? You know, what damaging them basically? You know, what damaging them basically? You know, what how do how do we access this I suppose how do how do we access this I suppose how do how do we access this I suppose this treasure? I I might not have this treasure? I I might not have this treasure? I I might not have understood um how you balance that at understood um how you balance that at understood um how you balance that at the time. Can you Can you comment on the time. Can you Can you comment on the time. Can you Can you comment on that a little bit on that a little bit on that a little bit on >> Yeah. The I mean the access >> Yeah. The I mean the access >> Yeah. The I mean the access the access to the knowledge really the access to the knowledge really the access to the knowledge really happens when big infrastructure projects happens when big infrastructure projects happens when big infrastructure projects happen. happen. happen. So, for example, in Sweden there was a a So, for example, in Sweden there was a a So, for example, in Sweden there was a a long railway being built long railway being built long railway being built um of 160 km. So, a new corridor is um of 160 km. So, a new corridor is um of 160 km. So, a new corridor is being made for that, and of course there being made for that, and of course there being made for that, and of course there are are are by estimation about 700 sites of by estimation about 700 sites of by estimation about 700 sites of archaeological interest affected by archaeological interest affected by archaeological interest affected by building this railway. building this railway. building this railway. And then along And then along And then along building these big infrastructure building these big infrastructure building these big infrastructure projects, then you you will look at projects, then you you will look at projects, then you you will look at what's [snorts] there. what's [snorts] there. what's [snorts] there. Um Um Um and extract knowledge. But otherwise, and extract knowledge. But otherwise, and extract knowledge. But otherwise, the principle is to preserve in situ and the principle is to preserve in situ and the principle is to preserve in situ and to just keep it there. I mean, much of to just keep it there. I mean, much of to just keep it there. I mean, much of this of what is being extracted of is this of what is being extracted of is this of what is being extracted of is being excavated is thousands of years being excavated is thousands of years being excavated is thousands of years old. old. old. There is no hurry and no need to do it There is no hurry and no need to do it There is no hurry and no need to do it all now. The best thing is to just all now. The best thing is to just all now. The best thing is to just keep it preserved by keeping the areas keep it preserved by keeping the areas keep it preserved by keeping the areas wet, which is also the best wet, which is also the best wet, which is also the best uh uh uh as a nature-based solution for for as a nature-based solution for for as a nature-based solution for for natural wetlands, for biodiversity, for natural wetlands, for biodiversity, for natural wetlands, for biodiversity, for as a carbon sink. So, really that's as a carbon sink. So, really that's as a carbon sink. So, really that's where the synergy is. where the synergy is. where the synergy is. And we just need to get And we just need to get And we just need to get the people in the decision-making the people in the decision-making the people in the decision-making positions to understand that joint positions to understand that joint positions to understand that joint perspective. perspective. perspective. >> It's very interesting. >> It's very interesting. >> It's very interesting. Much of it remaining a mystery, but Much of it remaining a mystery, but Much of it remaining a mystery, but being able to discover it when we can, being able to discover it when we can, being able to discover it when we can, that's Yeah. Yeah, I can see that that's that's Yeah. Yeah, I can see that that's that's Yeah. Yeah, I can see that that's a a a a good dilemma to have. Um I just uh I a good dilemma to have. Um I just uh I a good dilemma to have. Um I just uh I just finally um just finally um just finally um uh Julian, there's plenty of little uh Julian, there's plenty of little uh Julian, there's plenty of little questions for you. Um questions for you. Um questions for you. Um One One that was quite interesting I saw One One that was quite interesting I saw One One that was quite interesting I saw um um um was whether you could say something was whether you could say something was whether you could say something about water usage um about water usage um about water usage um uh in the process of going through the uh in the process of going through the uh in the process of going through the transformation um that you've gone to. transformation um that you've gone to. transformation um that you've gone to. Um Um Um And then secondly, um And then secondly, um And then secondly, um the vegetables in the vineyards, like the vegetables in the vineyards, like the vegetables in the vineyards, like what kind of market um what kind of market um what kind of market um are you are you are you are you looking at are you looking at are you looking at with them? >> Uh okay. >> So Julien is using 50% less water than >> So Julien is using 50% less water than >> So Julien is using 50% less water than organic market gardener in the same organic market gardener in the same organic market gardener in the same area. So in this small appellation of the So in this small appellation of the So in this small appellation of the vineyards, they were anyway not allowed vineyards, they were anyway not allowed vineyards, they were anyway not allowed at the moment to use water, but they're at the moment to use water, but they're at the moment to use water, but they're starting to allow them. So they may they starting to allow them. So they may they starting to allow them. So they may they the more you go north, the more they the more you go north, the more they the more you go north, the more they they use a bit of water, but not much they use a bit of water, but not much they use a bit of water, but not much for the vines. >> Okay. And >> Okay. And >> Okay. And so to go back to the >> So they decided to go out of the >> So they decided to go out of the >> So they decided to go out of the vineyard appellation to have more vineyard appellation to have more vineyard appellation to have more flexibility of the way they want to flexibility of the way they want to flexibility of the way they want to manage the vineyard. manage the vineyard. manage the vineyard. And they will call them like the And they will call them like the And they will call them like the gardening vineyards or gardening vineyards or gardening vineyards or something similar and be able to like something similar and be able to like something similar and be able to like manage them with more flexibility. So it's vineyard region, so they don't So it's vineyard region, so they don't So it's vineyard region, so they don't have any difficulty at all to sell all have any difficulty at all to sell all have any difficulty at all to sell all the vegetable produced.
