Swiss Science Briefing

Agroecological approaches in times of fertiliser crisis – Evidence from Swiss-EU collaboration in the Global South

The Mission of Switzerland to the European Union, SwissCore and the Research Institute of Organic Agriculture (FiBL) organised a Swiss Science Briefing on ‘Agroecological approaches in times of fertilizer crisis; an evidence from Swiss-EU collaboration in the Global South’.
 
This Science Briefing aimed to discuss how Swiss-European scientific research and development activities contribute to the resilient food systems in Africa, India, and Bolivia in the context of climate change and over-exploitation of planetary resources threatening the stability of the global food systems.
 
In the context of the 50th anniversary of FiBL, a differentiated approach to sustainable research for organic culture was presented by Beate Huber, Director of Corporate Culture and Head of Department of International Cooperation at FiBL, followed by a speech of Prof. Johanna Jacobi at ETH Zurich. Afterwards, the attendees could enjoy a panel discussion with members of the European Commission (DG INTPA), ETH Zürich, the Unvirsity of Hohenheim and the University of Kassel.
