Vibrational signals to control the whitefly in organic greenhouse production
Vibrational plates (Vibro -plates) were built to transmit specific disruptive vibrations to the whiteflies via potted tomato and zucchini plants. The combined use of vibrations and essential oils resulted in a reduction of the whitefly populations. The prototype is versatile and can be custom- ised for different crop systems.

Twenty years of Globally Important Agricultural Heritage Systems
Success stories of dynamic conservation for sustainable rural development
Globally Important Agricultural Heritage Systems (GIAHS) are agroecosystems inhabited by communities that live in an intricate relationship with their territory. These evolving sites are resilient systems characterized by remarkable agrobiodiversity, traditional knowledge, invaluable cultures and landscapes, sustainably managed by farmers, herders, fisherfolk, and forest people in ways that contribute to...

The agricultural transition: Building a sustainable future
New research released today by McKinsey & Company indicates that about 50 percent of the reduction in on-farm agricultural emissions required for a 1.5°C pathway are cost neutral or ROI-positive today. However, major barriers, namely transition financing, investment to reduce costs, behavior change, and additional incentives such as increased carbon prices are...

Un nouveau concept pour concevoir, modéliser et évaluer des systèmes agroforestiers et de cultures associées
Une équipe scientifique du Cirad, d’INRAE et de l’Institut Agro propose un concept clé jusque-là manquant pour étudier et accompagner la conception de systèmes de culture associant différentes espèces, l’une des bases de la transition agroécologique. Ce concept est exposé dans un article publié dans Agronomy for Sustainable Development.

How diverse are farming systems on the Eastern Gangetic Plains of South Asia? A multi-metric and multi-country assessment
While crop diversification has many benefits and is a stated government objective across the Eastern Gangetic Plains (EGP) of South Asia, the complexity of assessment has led to a rather limited understanding on the progress towards, and status of, smallholder crop diversification. Most studies focus on specific commodities or report...

On-farm experiment to assess the suitability of millet types and landraces
In Nepal's Himalayan regions, millets hold significance as resilient cereal crops, valued for their nutrition and adaptability to challenging climates and contributing to food and nutrition security. However, their cultivation and consumption have declined due to shifting food preferences, market constraints, climate change, pests, and diseases. The on-farm experiment was...

Vibrations against invasive whiteflies in citrus orchards
Orange spiny whiteflies communicate with each other through vibrations. Disruptive vibrations can interfere with their communication and reduce their populations. This method is especially effective when combined with other plant protection strategies.
