Qual è stata la sfida/problema affrontato?
Growing hops, as an agricultural activity, faces many challenges. Climate change is an important one because it has a direct impact on yield, due to the stress it generates on the plant and the increased pressure of pathogens. It is necessary to improve processes, involving the corresponding actors.
Come hai risolto il problema?
We are conducting, among others, Pest Management trials, fertilization and irrigation trials, CO2 footprint analysis, composting trials, studies of operational costs, digital management of parcels…
Cosa c'è di innovativo nel tuo pratico caso?
It’s the first time that a project has addressed globally the challenges faced by the crop. Some of the methods used are equally innovative, as digital management, integrated pest control, eccetera.
Quali sono i fattori di successo nella risoluzione del problema?
All participating actors have had a high level of commitment to the project. Hop growing in Spain is not a big sector and we have a nice support from Universities and Research Institutes
