Agriculture has transformed over the past centuries dramatically to become highly dependent on non-renewable fossil fuels, synthetic fertilizers and plant protection agents. This often occurs at the cost of soil degradation and soil food web disturbance. Future agriculture must not only be productive but also provide ecosystem services such as carbon sequestration, pest and disease suppression, nutrient cycling and water storage to become sustainable in the long-term. Sustainability is especially fostered by reduced tillage and the presence of a permanent layer of plant residues. Under such conditions, soil compaction is reduced, soil structure improved, water infiltration enhanced, soil organic content increased and microbial activity stimulated. However,... |

Heterogeneous crop populations such as composite cross populations (CCPs) have recently been gaining attention, both in the scientific community and with practitioners, particularly for use within organic and low-input agricultural systems. Genetically diverse populations are capable of reacting to unpredictable environmental conditions and of adapting to specific environmental conditions such as future farming systems focussed on reducing external inputs and optimising ecosystem services. Despite the growing interest and legislative support, widespread adoption and acceptance of CCPs throughout the value chain has been slow. The aim of the workshop is to allow participants to explore and identify possible internal and external opportunities and threats... |
