The AGROECOLOGY Partnership will soon launch the Call for Applications for its 1st Summer School on “Conservation Agriculture in Mediterranean Systems”.

Theme:

The traditional agricultural system of Southern Europe is close to the objectives of Agroecology in terms of sustainability, adaptation to climatic and soil conditions and respect for biodiversity. In these systems, improvement programs are aimed at creating materials adapted to the production method. Conservation Agriculture is therefore a relevant instrument for sustainability and Agroecology.
