Romania is one of the European Union's most important honey producers. More than 50% of its honey is exported elsewhere in the European Union, on a par with fellow producers Spain and Hungary. But Romania's industry lacks the processing factories it needs to ensure its output stays pure, and a loophole in EU legislation enables the use of dangerous pesticides that beekeepers and NGOs say are killing the bee population. In 2015 and 2018, Romania led the EU in terms of annual honey production, and the country has ranked among the world's top 10 since 2011. The spike in Romania's industry - which has strong traditional roots â–“ is down to heavy investment, as well as the popularization of pastoral beekeeping, which is the practice of moving hives throughout the year so that bees have access to more pollen. The country's rich landscape of wild flora and fauna makes it ideal for cultivating honey, beekeepers say. At its height, Romania produced up to 35,000 tons of honey a year. For perspective, China leads global production with 300,000 tons, followed at a distance by Argentina, the United States, and Turkey at 80,000 tons each. Ukraine used to be up there, too, until the start of Russia's invasion in February. The war in Ukraine has had a devastating impact not only on its own status as a major honey producer but also on neighbouring Romania's beekeepers. The harvest in 2022 was half that of previous years, according to beekeepers, affected also by the severe drought that took up much of the season and racked up more expenses as beekeepers had to feed the bees at apiaries because of the lack of suitable flora. Only those who moved their bee colonies managed to produce any honey. There are more than 2 million officially registered beehives in Romania. Crops of sunflowers and acacias, as well as orchards, suffered from the lack of rainfall, which meant fewer flowers were pollinated. The beekeepers hoped to receive some assistance from Romania's Agriculture Ministry, but none came. Ioan Fetea, the president of the Association of Beekeepers of Romania, points out that other agricultural sectors were hit harder and thus the government was not likely to give them any aid. They asked for 40 million euros ($42 million) and if they were to even get 10% of that, it would be 4 million euros. They would be happy with that. Since June, the situation has worsened as they have had a lot of costs related to feeding the bees special syrups and cakes.

The programme was arranged in five sessions with an additional poster display.

In the UK, most farms are either arable with emphasis on cereal crops, while others are devoted to livestock, so the first presentation was from Lizzie Sagoo (ADAS.) who considered the Impacts, benefits and trade-offs of adopting Mob grazing, in which large numbers of animals graze a small area of land for a short period.

The global search for plant-protection solutions that are both environmentally safe and effective is driven by the need to supply food to the ever-growing world population. The call for chemical load reduction is an important aspect for sustainable agriculture. Toxicity to non-target organisms and negative effects on human health by synthetic agrochemicals have led to a resurgence of interest in 'natural' means of pest and pathogen control, including new sources of biopesticides and botanical pesticides. In addition, there has been increasing pressure concerning the main challenges in crop protection, including better resistance management, regulatory demands, and consumer concerns. The control of plant diseases has depended increasingly on the extensive use of toxic pesticides. Inappropriate and prolonged applications of traditional chemical pesticides lead to environmental damage and adverse health effects. Furthermore, the extensive use of chemical pesticides led to the development of resistance to various plant pathogens. Therefore, improving resistance management is important. Also, consumers, including retail food chains, today demand healthier foods and more sustainable products with less chemical residue. Furthermore, an increasing number of governments and retail food chains have established strictly enforced chemical residue limits. If crops exceed these limits, they will not be allowed to enter these countries and retail food chains. However, there are several barriers to trial of biological products by growers, including the following: a). Biological products have a reputation for not working very effectively. Today there are many biological products that are as effective as synthetic chemicals, but the early impression from years ago remains among many growers, b) growers are very busy with current demands on their time, with most not having the time to learn new biology, reformulate their treatment regime, mixing and testing, and c) general resistance to change. Therefore, a new concept of 'hybrid products', as an easy bridge to trial biological component is suggested. Hybrid fungicides i.e., a combination of a natural product such as Tea Tree Oil (TTO) with broad-spectrum activity and a traditional site-specific chemical can be the 'bridge' between conventional agrochemical farming and sustainable farming. That is because it is a 'pre-mix' and is used in the same way as the grower's current chemical pesticide. Unlike other combinations based on two synthetic chemicals which in most cases have limited mechanisms of action, a premix with a botanical product provides multiple modes of action with an advantage for resistance management.

Hardly a month passes without news of a "landmark" report on the state of our world. March 2023 saw publication of the latest Synthesis Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change summarising the state of knowledge of climate change, its widespread impacts and risks, and progress with mitigation and adaptation. This was accompanied by comprehensive coverage globally with news channels highlighting that scientists had delivered a "final warning" on climate with urgent action needed now to secure a liveable future for all. Approximately 3.3-3.6 billion people are estimated to live in environments that are highly vulnerable to climate change; with the report assigning a "high level of confidence" that climate change has caused substantial damage, and increasingly irreversible losses, in terrestrial, freshwater, and ocean ecosystems while reducing food security and water security. Copping questioned "How Precious is our Water", highlighting how drought resulting from extreme weather intensified by the climate crisis contributes to a number of humanitarian crises in Africa and the Middle East. Eutrophication of rivers and other inland waters in areas of high input agricultural systems is another aspect of the water-related ecological crises with farming a major source of polluting nutrients, particularly nitrates and phosphates. In England, for example, despite significant reductions in phosphorous fertiliser use since the 1980s, 55% of assessed river water bodies and 75% of assessed lakes failed the current Water Framework Directive phosphorus standards for good ecological status aimed to prevent eutrophication. Agriculture and rural land management has now overtaken waste water discharge as the most common cause of phosphate pollution. The phosphate issue has led to long delays in determining planning applications in the catchments of sensitive wetland habitats such as the Somerset Moors and Levels in South West England. Such sites are designated as Special Protection Areas and listed under the international Ramsar Convention so new development requires a Habitats Regulation Assessment to ensure there is no additional phosphate loading. Agriculture is also the dominant source of nitrate in water courses contributing about 70% of total inputs in England.

Plant diseases are one of the biggest problems in conventional agriculture as they reduce both yield and crop value. Therefore, it is necessary to establish systems that protect against pests to maintain or improve yields while ensuring high food quality. The chemical pesticides used in conventional agriculture over the last 50 years can contaminate the environment, including soil and water; may leave residues in food; and affect other beneficial organisms that are not targeted by treatment. Therefore, researchers are searching for natural and ecofriendly alternatives for crop protection that avoid the problems associated with chemical pesticides. In recent decades, the natural compounds and beneficial microorganisms for use as biological control agents (BCAs) or plant biostimulators have attracted interest. These treatments have several advantages compared to classic pesticides; for example, they usually exhibit low toxicity, leave zero residue in foods, and their modes of action often allow their use to be preventive or curative. These advantages make them suitable for sustainable agriculture, for fulfilling new demands from the agro-food sector of the Euroregion, as well as for society in the frame of the European Green Deal. The term biocontrol comprises a group of treatments that are based on natural compounds, extracts or microorganisms.

Central California grape-grower Steve McIntyre was familiar with Pierce's Disease. But that did not prepare him for what he saw when he visited his brother's Southern California citrus and avocado farm in 1998. The disease, which causes vines to wither and grapes to deflate like old balloons, had long existed in California. But the infection he saw on a farm adjacent to his brother's property seemed different. Blocks of grapes looked as though their irrigation had been entirely cut. Less than a decade after it was first identified in California, an invasive insect the glassy-winged sharpshooter (Homalodisca vitripennis) had turned the bacterium that causes Pierce's from a nuisance to a nightmare. The oblong bug, with wings like red-tinged stained glass, is quicker and flies further afield than sharpshooters native to the state, and it can feed on tougher grapevines. Its arrival, which the state suspects was in the late 1980s, supercharged the spread of the disease. Through inspections and targeted pesticide spraying, the state has largely been able to confine the invasive sharpshooter to Southern California. But the disease still has no cure, and it is at risk of getting worse and harder to combat due to climate change. Researchers are now looking to add cutting-edge technology to California's anti-Pierce's arsenal, by changing the genome of the glassy-winged sharpshooter so that it can no longer spread the bacterium. Such a solution is possible thanks to CRISPR gene-editing technology, which has made modifying the genes of any organism increasingly simple.
