Objectives

In the EKOHMELJ project, we prepare guidelines for organic hop production - in accordance with the content of the European Green Deal and the EU Farm-to-Fork strategy. In this way, we contribute to reducing the use of pesticides and fertilizers in agriculture,  protecting the environment and increasing the export competitiveness of hop farms in Slovenia. We carry out  technological experiments at 6 locations in 3 regions (5 hop farms, IHPS) and model-estimate the variable costs of hop production. We spread project experience and results among other hop growers and the wider professional public - with demonstrations at IHPS, workshops, technological meetings, a seminar and various publications.

Objectives

V projektu EKOHMELJ pripravimo smernice za ekološko pridelave hmelja – skladno z  vsebino evropskega zelenega dogovora in strategije EU od vil do vilic. S tem prispevamo k zmanjševanju uporabe pesticidov in gnojil v kmetijstvu, k varovanju okolja in povečanju izvozne konkurenčnosti hmeljarskih kmetij v Sloveniji. Izvedemo različne tehnološke poskuse na 6 lokacijah v 3 regijah (5 hmeljarskih kmetij, IHPS) in modelno ocenimo variabilne stroške pridelave hmelja. Projektne izkušnje in rezultate širimo med ostale pridelovalce hmelja ter širšo strokovno javnost -  z demonstracijami na IHPS, na delavnicah, tehnoloških sestankih, seminarju in z različnimi publikacijami.

Activities

EKOHMELJ project activities, organized in 5 work packages (DS1-DS5), enable the creation and systematic transfer of updated technological knowledge for the needs of expanding organic hop production and increasing the export competitiveness of hop farms in Slovenia. Project structure: DS1: Project coordination; DS2: Introduction of organic hop production (technological experiments); DS3: Economics of hop production (workshops with calculation and analytical interpretation of production costs on farms); DS4: Professional guidelines for organic hop production (e-materials); DS5: Dissemination of results (in accordance with the tender instructions).

Activities

EKOHMELJ projektne aktivnosti, organizirane v 5 delovnih sklopih (DS1-DS5), omogočajo oblikovanje in sistematičen prenos posodobljenih tehnoloških znanj za potrebe širjenja ekološke pridelave v hmeljarstvu in dvig izvozne konkurenčnosti hmeljarskih kmetij v Sloveniji. Struktura projekta: DS1: Koordinacija projekta; DS2: Vpeljevanje ekološke pridelave hmelja (tehnološki poskusi); DS3: Ekonomika ekološke pridelave hmelja (delavnice s kalkulacijami in analitičnim tolmačenjem stroškov pridelave na kmetijah); DS4: Strokovne smernice ekološke pridelave hmelja (e-gradiva); DS5: Diseminacija rezultatov (skladno z navodili razpisa).

Context

Posledice tehnoloških zahtev po intenzivni rabi gnojil in sredstev za varstvo hmelja in njihova dejanska raba porajajo v javnosti pomisleke in debate glede onesnaževanja okolja.

V okviru t.i. evropskega zelenega dogovora (European Green Deal) in strategije od vil do vilic (Farm to Fork) se evro-politiki zavzemajo in narekujejo vizionarski odnos do globalnega varovanja okolja. Do prelomnega leta 2030 naj bi vsi skupaj v kmetijstvu EU zmanjšali uporabo nevarnih pesticidov za 50 %, uporabo gnojil za vsaj 20 % ter izrazito povečali delež ekološkega kmetijstva. EIP predstavlja prispevek k ciljem SKP.
