CHAP Partners get together for one big family day

The ideas included developing a CHAP comprehensive package to generate data in support of the registration of biocontrol products; R&D opportunities in the areas of Integrated Pest Management (particularly slugs), remote crop sensing, sustainable production approaches, reduction of mycotoxins in the food chain and the potential of vertical farming systems to consistently deliver high traceability produce to stringent crop quality criteria. Other ideas included developing the concept of microbiomes for agriculture use and a project looking at network sensors and their wider application. These ideas will now be taken forward and, where possible, developed and submitted for funding opportunities.
