Climate change poses new challenges for (organic) farming - particularly in the area of plant health. How can crop rotation, as a key plant protection measure, help overcome these challenges?
This question is the focus of an event organized by the BÖLW (German Association of Organic Farmers, Food Processors, and Retailers). The afternoon offers all experts and interested parties the opportunity to exchange ideas with experts, discuss the latest findings, and jointly develop solutions for sustainable and resilient agriculture. Two researchers from ZALF will participate in the presentation program:
- Dr. Moritz Reckling: „Crop Rotations for Resilient Farming Systems“
- Dr. Marlene Palka: „InVeKoS Data: Potential for Large-Scale Analysis of Crop Rotations in Practice"
