On January 30, 2025, a delegation from the National University of Life and Environmental Sciences of Ukraine (NUBiP) participated actively in World Pulse Day — an international event initiated by the FAO and celebrated annually to highlight the importance of legumes in ensuring food security, promoting sustainable agricultural development, and supporting healthy nutrition.

Dear colleagues, stakeholders, and interested parties, we kindly invite you to participate in the discussion and provide your suggestions and edits to help us achieve this goal.

Intercropping systems are highly productive but difficult to predict from an agricultural perspective. Farmers have access to several well-established crop combinations: vetch-oat mixtures, alfalfa with timothy grass, and pea with barley. Some are designed to maximize biomass and balance forage quality, while others aim for grain production.

Dear Friends! May the light of the Christmas star guide your way, bringing peace, joy, and love to your home. Wishing you and your loved ones a magical holiday season! From our Ukrainian hearts to yours — Христос народився!"

Agroecological intensification is an innovative approach to agriculture that combines productivity with environmental stewardship. How can we increase yields without depleting soil resources? How can we reduce the use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides while ensuring stable income for farmers?

Soil degradation or fertility restoration? This challenging issue was the focus of the V International Conference "National Challenge: Soil Degradation or Fertility Restoration?", which became a platform for uniting the efforts of leading experts, scientists, representatives of agricultural education, and business to address the pressing questions of modern agricultural production.

Participant of the Ecotwins project, PhD student Iryna Havrylyuk, took part in the webinar organized within the framework of the international summit EUROAGRI2024: Agriculture and Food Safety Summit, held in Rome, Italy.

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.
