From 13th to 16th May 2025, the Regional Natural Park of “Dune Costiere” (Italy), Lead Partner of the SuS_AGRI project – “SuStainable AGRIculture and climate change: impacts, strategies, and mitigation actions”, financed by the Interreg IPA South-Adriatic Programme 2021/2027, organizes a cross-border training course entitled ““Innovative methods to contrast the climate change impacts and Xylella Fastidiosa in the agricultural sector”.
The training course, which will be held at the Technical Economic and Technological Institute "Pantanelli-Monnet" (Pantanelli section) in Ostuni (Puglia, Italy), is addressed to agricultural experts, farmers, professionals, and students who wish to learn new and effective approaches to cope with the growing challenges that climate change poses to agriculture.
This training will offer a valuable opportunity to share knowledge, build cross-border networks, and promote sustainable and climate-resilient agricultural practices.
A key focus of the training course will be on combating Xylella Fastidiosa, a harmful bacterium that has caused severe damage to olive trees across the region. Participants will explore modern, treatment techniques, including endotherapy, and discover practical strategies to improve resilience in farming systems.
The training course will combine theoretical sessions with hands-on activities, including field demonstrations and a study visit, giving participants the chance to observe real-world applications and engage directly with the local environment. This practical dimension will not only reinforce technical learning but also offer a deeper understanding of the region’s agricultural landscape.
