The 5th plenary meeting of the European SPRINT project, coordinated at national level by researcher Nelson Abrantes, from CESAM, took place between the 9th and 13th of September at the University of Aveiro. The event was attended by representatives from 25 partner institutions, who discussed the progress made in the last year and outlined plans for the next year.
Participants also had the opportunity to visit the Portuguese case study, located in the Bairrada Wine Region. During the visit, it was possible to visit biodynamic and integrated production vineyards, demonstrating more sustainable agricultural practices.
The SPRINT project aims to assess the impacts of pesticides on global health, with the aim of contributing to a more sustainable phytosanitary transition.
