The best agroecological practices for sustainable development were presented at the Ukrainian Quality Assurance Forum on September 25-26, 2024. Best agroecological practices for sustainable development take effective agricultural production with environmental safety.

In 2015, Ukraine became an associate member of the European Union's Framework Programme for Research and Innovation, "Horizon 2020" (2014-2020). Over nearly a decade of cooperation, it has become clear that "Horizon" is one of the most effective tools for integrating Ukrainian educational institutions into the European research area.

Harvesting crops in the field does not mean the end of work on the experiment. One of the main tasks of the HORIZON EUROPE, ECOTWINS project is to conduct field tests of the combined effect of the introduction of biostimulants and compatible crops on the productivity of agro-ecosystems and their ecological sustainability. Soil fertility indicators are an important indicator of ecosystem stability.

We are pleased to announce that Tetiana Khomenko, a participant in the Ecotwins project, has successfully defended her PhD dissertation titled: “Regulating the Biological Activity of Sod-Podzolic Soils and the Productivity of Table Potatoes under Organic Farming in the Western Polissya Region.”

Today, Ukrainians celebrate the indomitable spirit and unity of the Ukrainian people, celebrate their courage and resilience in the face of constant challenges. This holiday serves as a reminder of its collective strength and hope for the future.

Modern agriculture is focused on achieving maximum crop yields and high-quality indicators.

On July 18-19, 2024, the annual meeting of the Ecotwins project took place at the University of Copenhagen (UCPH)

The HORIZON Ecotwins project involves four countries: Ukraine, Sweden, Denmark, and Spain. One of the project’s tasks is the joint supervision of master’s and PhD students.

Summer is a hot season for agronomists. The second decade of June rallied everyone for a field experiment.

The conference "Biochar for the green restoration of Ukraine" was held on May 2-3, 2024 in the premises of the Faculty of Agrobiology of the National University of Life and Environmental Sciences of Ukraine (Kyiv, Ukraine).

The spring and summer period is characterized by the hard and important work of the farmers.

Between March 4th and March 11th, ESCI-UPF held the ECOtwins Summer School which aimed to enhance the capacities of the University of Life and Environmental Sciences of Ukraine (NUBiP) in sustainable agriculture and environmental impacts.

It's a great opportunity to expand my own boundaries, meet colleagues from different parts of the world, and of course, to travel

After the summer school March 2024 at ESCI-UPF premises in Barcelona, Ukrainian PhD students and scientists had a possibility to attend a 3-day intense writing workshop taught by Julia T. Williams Camus, an English Philology professor at the University of Cantabria in hydride format (offline and online).

The quality of soils, Carbon Footprint, and methods for reducing emissions in agrotechnologies were key presentations at the Summer School of the Ecotwins project

The two-week Summer School within the framework of the HORIZON EUROPE project, ECOTWINS "Development of the research potential and enhancement of the qualification and skills of the group of researchers of NUBiP Ukraine in agroecological intensification of the plant industry," has started
