Dryland Agroforestry: Case studies from the Maghreb region
Get PDFThis technical brochure was developed within the framework of the TransforMed project. It provides theoretical insights into agroforestry systems in the Mediterranean region and examines their potential to improve degraded soils. In addition, the brochure presents examples of agroforestry pilot projects from the Maghreb region. As an accessible introductory publication, the document establishes the foundation for TransforMed’s dissemination strategy on dryland agroforestry in the Mediterranean basin
Compilation of policy briefs on enabling strategies to promote organic seed and plant breeding
Get PDFThis deliverable is part of the activities lead by task T4.4 of the LiveSeeding project that aims to unlock project outcomes to policymakers. It wishes to compile recommendations based on the outcomes of the research done during the project as well as from the long-term experience of partners

Protection contre le Black-rot (Guignardia bidwellii) en viticulture biologique
Get PDFLe black-rot, causé par le champignon Guignardia bidwellii, est une maladie cryptogamique originaire d’Amérique du Nord arrivée en Suisse d’abord dans le vignoble tessinois où la pression est extrêmement forte. Auparavant considérée comme secondaire comparée au mildiou et à l’oïdium, cette maladie s’est progressivement répandue en Suisse romande avec une recrudescence notamment sur cépages résistants après la saison 2021 très humide. L’absence de produits de protection homologué en bio et la virulence du black-rot soulignent la nécessité d’évaluer et d’adapter la protection ainsi que les pratiques culturales pour limiter son impact
Pinus sylvestris bark extract reduces the impact of Heligmosomoides bakeri infection on C57BL/6 but not on BALB/c mice (Mus musculus)
Get PDFPlant secondary metabolites (PSMs) may improve gastrointestinal health by exerting immunomodulatory, anti-inflammatory and/or antiparasitic effects. Bark extracts from coniferous tree species have previously been shown to reduce the burden of a range of parasite species in the gastrointestinal tract, with condensed tannins as the potential active compounds. In the present study, the impact of an acetone extract of pine bark (Pinus sylvestris) on the resistance, performance and tolerance of genetically diverse mice (Mus musculus) was assessed. Mice able to clear an infection quickly (fast responders, BALB/c) or slowly (slow responders, C57BL/6) were infected orally with 200 infective third-stage larvae (L3) of the parasitic nematode Heligmosomoides bakeri or remained uninfected (dosed with water only). Each infection group of mice was gavaged for 3 consecutive days from day 19 post-infection with either bark extract or dimethyl sulphoxide (5%) as vehicle control. Oral administration of pine bark extract did not have an impact on any of the measured parasitological parameter. It did, however, have a positive impact on the performance of infected, slow-responder mice, through an increase in body weight (BW) and carcase weight and reduced feed intake by BW ratio. Importantly, bark extract administration had a negative impact on the fast responders, by reducing their ability to mediate the impact of parasitism through reducing their performance and tolerance. The results indicate that the impact of PSMs on parasitized hosts is affected by host's genetic susceptibility, with susceptible hosts benefiting more from bark extract administration compared to resistant ones

The World of Organic Agriculture 2025: Summary
Get PDFThe latest global organic agriculture data for 2023 reveal steady progress. Organic farmland expanded to nearly 99 million hectares, with notable increases in Latin America, Europe, and Africa, while North America and Oceania reported slight declines. However, the number of organic producers decreased by over 4 percent, driven by reductions in India and Thailand. On the trade front, organic exports to the USA surged, while EU imports saw a decline. Despite economic pressures and challenges, global retail sales of organic products grew to over 136 billion euros
