Problem

Organic fruit growers need to be more innovative than conventional farmers in terms of pest and diseases management, suitable varieties, fruit quality and yields to stay competitive as they do not use prohibited synthetic inputs nor other conventional methods.

Solution

The BIOFRUITNET project committed to bring scientific findings to organic fruit growers in easy-to-understand language and format. The podcast series is one of the format used.

Description

Five topics are discussed with experts in their fields across Europe:
1. Tree Row Management,
2. Biodiversity and fruit production,
3. Citrus Fruit,
4. Stone Fruit, and
5. Pome Fruit
