No project acts in isolation. CITRUSBUSTERS is part of a broader European effort to build resilient, sustainable, and biosecure food systems.
By collaborating with other EU-funded initiatives, we amplify our impact, avoid duplication, and foster innovation across borders.
Together, we share knowledge, align strategies, and contribute to common goals under the EU Green Deal, Farm to Fork Strategy, and Plant Health Regulation. These synergies strengthen the scientific community, support coordinated action, and ensure lasting outcomes for farmers, policymakers, and the environment.
POMATO is a Horizon Europe project focused on protecting key European crops such as potato and tomato from devastating bacterial diseases. The project develops early detection tools, integrated pest management strategies, and sustainable control solutions, creating strong synergies with CITRUSBUSTERS in the field of plant health protection and disease prevention.
EmergeNOW aims to strengthen EU biosecurity at borders and points of entry through advanced detection technologies, artificial intelligence, and autonomous systems. Its focus on early identification of plant pathogens and invasive species directly complements CITRUSBUSTERS’ objectives in preventing the introduction and spread of citrus diseases.
AGRO4AGRI works on innovative and sustainable crop protection and nutrition solutions, contributing to resilient agricultural systems and reduced environmental impact. The project shares common sustainability and innovation goals with CITRUSBUSTERS.
BIOBIVE develops advanced delivery systems for bio-based active substances, enabling controlled release and improved efficiency in crop protection. These technologies are highly relevant for future sustainable plant health solutions.
PHAntastic focuses on bio-based and biodegradable materials to improve soil health and support circular agricultural practices. The project contributes to environmental sustainability, an important cross-cutting theme also addressed by CITRUSBUSTERS.
VINNY develops biopesticides and biofertilizers for sustainable viticulture, aiming to reduce chemical inputs while maintaining crop productivity. The project aligns with CITRUSBUSTERS’ vision of greener and safer plant protection strategies.
All these projects are funded under European research and innovation programmes and contribute to shared EU priorities, including sustainable agriculture, plant health, biosecurity, and environmental protection. By fostering links with related initiatives, CITRUSBUSTERS enhances knowledge exchange, avoids duplication of efforts, and maximises its impact at European level.
