About
This pilot project aims to study the profitability of non-invasive agricultural methods, focusing on vegetable crops—particularly peppers—rather than trees or shrubs—with the goal of reducing the use of chemical pesticides. The project will involve farmers, and technical experts, working collaboratively.
We are seeking partners within Horizon Europe Missions, including research institutions, technology providers, public bodies, and other skateholders interested in sustainable agricuture, soil health and pesticide reduction, to jontly develop a Mission alignes proposal for 2026 calls.
This project is the phase of forming partnerships and preparing for submission to Horizon Europe Missions 2026.
