Second General Assembly of the Alliance in Uppsala

Second General Assembly of the Alliance in Uppsala

The General Assembly of the European Research Alliance 'Towards a chemical pesticide-free agriculture' took place in Uppsala on 22 May 2023.

On 23 May 2023, the members of the European Research Alliance Towards a Chemical Pesticide-free Agriculture gathered on the SLU campus in Uppsala for their second General Assembly since the launch of the Alliance in February 2020.

It was a fruitful day of discussions, helping to stimulate research and innovation towards a “zero pesticide” target.

The General Assembly was also an opportunity to officially welcome two new members to the Alliance: the Hellenic Agricultural Organization ELGO-DIMITRA and the Research Institute of Organic Agriculture FiBL. We are delighted to welcome these new members, who strengthen an already well-established Alliance that now has 35 members.

The General Assembly took place during a week dedicated to research for a pesticide free agriculture: on 24 May, SLU organised a Scientific Conference on Crop protection futures, and on 25-26 May, the members of the Management Committee of the COST Action Towards zer0 Pesticide AGRIculture: European Network for sustainability held their annual meeting.

A rich week of exchanges and synergies between European research players working on the transition of agriculture towards less dependence on chemical pesticides!

The next Alliance General Assembly will be held in Zagreb on 22 May 2024.
