To demonstrate a complex of biotechnological tools with adaptogenic effects for increasing the productivity of vegetables, fruit plants and winter crops under drought conditions, thus aiming to increase farm efficiency and sustainability of resource use.

Crop farms (especially those growing winter cereals, rapeseed, vegetables, berries), farmers facing the impact of drought and climate change

The main objective of the project is to combine the knowledge, capabilities and experience of consulting and scientific institutions and agricultural entities to conduct tests in order to demonstrate a complex of biotechnological measures with adaptogenic effects for increasing the productivity of vegetables, fruit plants and winter crops in drought conditions, thus increasing the efficiency of farms and the sustainability of resource use. The cultivation of economically important winter cereals (wheat and rapeseed), vegetables and berry plants becomes problematic in extreme climate conditions, since many productive varieties developed abroad do not fully utilize the genotype-determined productivity potential in Lithuanian conditions, therefore the project aims to develop sound practical recommendations for the implementation of new, environmentally and human health-safe methods that reduce crop losses due to extreme climate conditions, in order to increase the sustainability, productivity and competitiveness of the agricultural sector. The results of the EIP project will contribute to the implementation of the European Commission's Communication "European Green Deal" Strategy "From Farm to Fork", Biodiversity implementation of conservation actions, because the use of a complex of biotechnological measures with adaptogenic effects reduces the need for chemical fertilizers, therefore the project: - promotes sustainable tillage and plant cultivation, increasing the conservation of organic carbon in the soil; - contributes to the adaptation of farming systems to climate change; - implements an organizational solution for reducing CO2 (GHG).
