Promotion of agro-ecological practices to improve biodiversity and sustainability in the production of common wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) (AGRECOblad
Fomento de prácticas agroecológicas para la mejora de la biodiversidad y la sostenibilidad de las producciones del cultivo del trigo blando (Triticum aestivum L.) (AGRECOblat)
Context
Several factors contribute to the decline in pollinating and auxiliary insect biodiversity, one being the intensification of agriculture, which has a major impact on natural ecosystems.
One of the most promising ways of maintaining more biodiversity-friendly agricultural activity is organic farming and the implementation of integrated agricultural production, committed to establishing a quality food production system using methods that are respectful of human health and the environment.
In this context, PANIFICADORA ALIMENTARIA defines the present project by the operational groups as investing in and promoting the use of innovative, sustainable and environmentally friendly agricultural practices with the aim of reducing their environmental impact and promoting proximity, while also fostering ethical and responsible behaviour.
The project aims to give much needed emphasis to the importance of creating conservation and protection plans for pollinators. Incorporating the techniques proposed in this project will help conserve biodiversity and increase the quality and quantity of insect populations, while also achieving more sustainable production.
Objectives
- Implement alternative methods to plant protection products.
- Improve the sustainability of pest and disease control.
- Promote ecological and crop biodiversity in common wheat-based farming systems.
- Reducing the toxic load and application of phytosanitary products, mainly herbicides and fungicides, which are most commonly used in common wheat farming.
- Promoting biodiversity in common wheat farming by incorporating melliferous species capable of attracting and sheltering pollinating and auxiliary insects.
- Increasing biodiversity by extending the period of vegetation cover on agricultural plots.
Objectives
- La implementación de métodos alternativos a los productos fitosanitarios. - La mejora de la sostenibilidad de control de plagas y enfermedades.
- El fomento de la biodiversidad ecológica y cultivada en los sistemas de cultivo que tienen como baseel trigo blando.
- Reducir la carga toxicologica y las aplicaciones de productos fitosanitarios.
- Fomentar la biodiversidad en el cultivo de trigo blanco con la incorporación de especias melíferas capaces de atraer y servir de refugio a los insectos polinizadores y auxiliares.
- Incrementar la biodiversidad aumentando el periodo de cobertura vegetal en las parcelas agrícolas.
