🌱 SAFWA at #IOCSO2026 Elena Fusar Poli & Michele Fontefrancesco presented an ethical mapping of agricultural systems in the Ebro Lands, linking wellbeing, equity & sustainability with farming practices.

📢 New publication by #SAFWA researchers! An ethnographic study on agriculture in the Ebro Delta by Michele Fontefrancesco and Elena Fusar highlights how farming decisions are shaped by values, traditions and constraints — not only by yields. https://t.co/WW9lr9qexS

We are proud of the positive reception to SAFWA’s contributions and grateful for the chance to exchange knowledge on cleaner, safer, and more resilient farming systems. 📸 Below: posters & presentation highlights from SAFWA at the event. #SAFWA #Biopesticides #IPM @PrimaProgram

IRTA’s Dr. María Teresa Martínez Ferrer, SAFWA partner, served as Convenor of the IOBC-WPRS Working Group, reinforcing the visibility of the project and strengthening collaboration with researchers and technical centres committed to sustainable IPM. 🤝✨

Our results from citrus, olive, pomegranate and tomato trials attracted strong interest. We also shared updates on scale-up processes for new Bt formulations, waste-water reuse in bioprocessing, and farmer training activities—core pillars of SAFWA’s mission. 🔬🍋🍅

The project presented several contributions, including posters and oral presentations by SAFWA partners. These works highlighted advances in Bt-based biopesticides, and strategies to reduce land and water pollution through safer agricultural practices. 💧🌍

Great participation of the SAFWA project at the IOBC-WPRS meeting on Integrated Control in Citrus Fruit Crops, hosted by UJI and co-organized with IRTA. SAFWA played an active role throughout the event, sharing progress on sustainable pest management across the Mediterranean. 🌱

🌿 In Takelsa (Tunisia), the SAFWA project held a technical training session on sustainable citrus production. Farmers explored Bt applications for Prays citri & Citrus leafminer, IPM strategies, and conservation biocontrol. #SAFWAProject #Citrus #Biocontrol #IPM @PrimaProgram

This session combined theory and field demonstrations to strengthen participants’ capacity for safe and effective biopesticide use — key to reducing land and water pollution across Mediterranean farming. 🌍🌱 #Biopesticides #IPM #SustainableFarming #Mediterranean

📅 30 October 2025 | At Citrus Technical Center CTA of Beni Khalled, Tunisia A new #SAFWAProject training brought together farmers and technicians to improve spraying calibration and application efficiency, enhancing precision and sustainability in pest management. @PrimaProgram

🌿 The SAFWA project continues empowering Mediterranean farmers! This morning in Godall (Spain) a hands-on session on sustainable olive farming: machinery, kaolin & Bacillus thuringiensis for pest control, plus a live demo on smart spraying. #SAFWAProject @PrimaProgram

Our partner Michele Fontefrancesco presented SAFWA’s latest results at the 3rd International Online Conference on Agriculture by MDPI 🌿 The paper explores farmers’ decisions and barriers to biopesticide adoption in the Mediterranean. 🔗 https://t.co/zhvAof2kiV #IOCAG2025

SAFWA was presented at the Int. Conf "Science for the Planet" (University of Molise, Italian Chemical Society). Our contribution highlights field research on biopesticides and sustainable practices to reduce pesticide impact in Mediterranean farming. 👉 https://t.co/IsJd9cJK2l

We contributed to the 12th ECCE & 7th ECAB Congress (Lisbon, Sept 2025), presenting advances on digital hybrid modeling and formulation of Bacillus thuringiensis biopesticides. Paving the way for sustainable pest management! @PrimaProgram #biopesticides

🚜 One Health reshapes how we view farming: not just the farmer as hero, but farms as ecosystems of co-actors—human & non-human. New article from SAFWA’s network by M. Fontefrancesco shows how narratives matter in driving agroecological change. #OneHealth @PrimaProgram

🔬 During the SAFWA Progress Meeting, we had the chance to visit the labs & facilities of our partner @JKI_bund, guided by Dr. Dietrich Stephan. A great opportunity to discover the work of the Institute for Biological Control @PrimaProgram

🌍 Productive & energizing #SAFWA Progress Meeting 2 at @JKI_Bund 🇩🇪! Partners from 🇹🇳🇪🇸🇹🇷🇫🇷🇱🇧🇩🇪 shared real progress on Bt biopesticide formulation, field trials & farmer training. 💬 Strong collaboration, clear next steps. @PrimaProgram #biopesticides #sustainability

Sharing with Technicians and Pest Advisors sustainable practices for pest control in olive crops from SAFWA project: bioproducts, ground cover management or spray machinery adjustment. #Biopesticides #SAFWA @PrimaProgram
