Agroserveis.cat and the University of Barcelona have joined forces to drive innovation in sustainable agriculture in the Ebro Delta. Through a fruitful collaboration on research and development (R&D) projects, both institutions work together to address the specific challenges affecting farmers in the region.
Two examples of this collaboration are the PAE 2022 and PAE 2023 projects, which have focused on exploring innovative solutions for organic rice production. Through comprehensive research, data analysis and field experimentation, the projects have identified sustainable and effective solutions for the management of this crop.
In addition to the PAE projects, Agroserveis.cat and the University of Barcelona have launched a second Industrial Doctorate. The first Industrial Doctorate project was covered by the DI Plan with an extensive report on the Organic Delta Rice Project, led by Alfred Palma, industrial doctor and also technical director of this company. The project, which will be presented during the conference on March 20, focuses on the research and design of a sustainable management model for the apple snail in the Ebro Delta. The doctorate combines the practical experience and technical knowledge of Agroserveis.cat with the academic resources and research excellence of the University of Barcelona.
The Industrial Doctorate not only seeks to generate practical solutions for the control of the apple snail, but also aims to train the next generation of experts in sustainable agriculture, environmental conservation and pest management.
The collaboration between Agroserveis.cat and the University of Barcelona reflects the ongoing commitment of both institutions to innovation and the development of effective strategies to promote sustainability in agriculture and protect the vital ecosystems of the Ebro Delta.
