Development of Microbial Solutions for Sustainable and Climate-Resilient Agriculture and Agroforestry. Széchenyi István University participates in a three-year international research project entitled Development of Microbial Solutions for Sustainable and Climate-Resilient Agriculture and Agroforestry. The initiative aims to promote the agricultural use of microbial products, including biofertilizers and biopesticides, as sustainable alternatives to synthetic agricultural inputs. The project contributes to the development of environmentally sustainable farming practices that support climate resilience and sustainable food production. The project is led by Evologic Technologies GmbH (Austria) and is implemented through an international consortium that includes Széchenyi István University (Hungary), MAVAD Nonprofit Ltd. (Hungary), and Lajtamag Ltd. (Hungary). This partnership brings together higher education, industry, and nonprofit-sector expertise to advance research and innovation in sustainable agriculture. Within the project, Széchenyi István University is responsible for establishing small-plot field experiments, carrying out measurements, and evaluating the collected data. Through these activities, the university contributes to the generation of scientific evidence on the effectiveness of microbial agricultural solutions and supports international knowledge creation related to sustainable agriculture and climate adaptation. |
