The RELACS project partners will evaluate and new solutions to further reduce the use of inputs in external inputs and, if needed, develop and adopt organic and environmentally safe tools and technologies farming to: (1) Reduce the use of copper and mineral oil in plant protection, (2) Identify sustainable sources for plant nutrition including fertilisers, and (3) Provide solutions to support livestock health and welfare.
