NextGenBioPest Joined Forces with GREENWISE!

The Horizon Europe project NextGenBioPest is proud to announce a new collaboration with GreenWise, a pioneering initiative that empowers young entrepreneurs through the fusion of sustainable agriculture and smart technology. This partnership marks a significant step forward in promoting innovative, environmentally responsible farming practices while equipping the next generation with digital and agronomic skills.

NextGenBioPest, which focuses on developing novel, eco-friendly solutions for pest and pathogen management in key fruit and vegetable crops, brings cutting-edge expertise in biological control, RNA-based pesticides, green chemicals, and diagnostic tools. GreenWise complements this vision by offering hands-on learning experiences in microgreens farming, using open-source tools such as Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and environmental sensors to monitor and optimise crop growth.

By aligning their missions, the two projects aim to:

• Support youth-driven innovation in sustainable agriculture

• Bridge traditional and digital farming techniques

• Promote local food resilience and ecological awareness

• Strengthen open-source, accessible education in agri-tech

  
  

This collaboration perfectly reflects our shared commitment to building a smarter, greener agricultural future". By connecting our field-tested research and innovations with GreenWise’s vibrant community of young agri-innovators, we’re creating new pathways for sustainability, entrepreneurship, and technology adoption in farming.

Through joint activities such as open-source educational modules, youth-focused webinars, pilot farm demonstrations, and co-creation workshops, the collaboration will ensure that the latest advancements in biological pest control and smart farming reach young farmers, educators, and innovators across Europe.
