Overview of the Work Packages and the People and Institutions working on them

WP A: Soil & Plant Health

Collaboration: JKI, RPTU, KALRO
This WP focuses on improving soil fertility and plant health through sustainable farming practices. Researchers analyze soil conditions, optimize nutrient cycles, and study the impact of bio-based fertilizers to enhance crop resilience.

WP B: Fungal & Insect-based Solutions

Collaboration: MRI-KA, MRI-Kiel, JKUAT, KALRO
Exploring fungi and insect-based solutions for sustainable agriculture, this WP investigates fungal biofertilizers, beneficial insect applications, and innovative pest control methods to boost crop productivity while reducing chemical inputs.

WP C: Communication & Knowledge Transfer

Collaboration: RPTU, EAFF
This WP ensures effective communication between researchers, farmers, and policymakers. It focuses on knowledge dissemination through workshops, training sessions, and digital platforms to foster sustainable agricultural practices.

WP D: Socioeconomic Impact & Adoption

Collaboration: KALRO, EAFF, Uni Nairobi
Assessing the economic feasibility and social acceptance of bio-based farming solutions, this WP examines market potential, financial viability, and farmer adoption rates to ensure long-term sustainability.

WP E: Project Coordination & Policy Integration

Collaboration: MRI-KA, EAFF, All Partners
This WP oversees project coordination, ensuring smooth collaboration and integration of findings into policy frameworks. It also liaises with governmental and non-governmental organizations to promote sustainable agricultural policies.
Task: Overall management and coordination of the project.
