InSALSA:  Increasing Sustainability of Agribiologicals by Living Labs in sub-Saharan Africa

In line with the main objective of the Biodiversa programme, the inSALSA project is aimed at supporting applied research and innovation leading to new results that can be applied in practice, Specifically, knowledge on the use of new technologies and practices that can be practically applied for efficient agricultural production in ecologically and economically sustainable land management systems, thus contributing to addressing the challenges and needs of society and the economy related to sustainable development of landscapes and human resources. The project will contribute to increasing the number of applied research results produced in the framework of international cooperation projects, increase the number of collaborations between domestic and foreign enterprises and research organisations, and improve access of teams from CVR to international knowledge and know-how, foreign research capacities and facilitate the penetration of foreign markets.

Planned results of the project:

Result 1: Assessment of changes in entomo-fauna biodiversity in agricultural areas (Fuzit – Utility Model)

Design of entomo-fauna sampling using traps in intensively used agricultural areas and critical assessment of biodiversity status.

Result 2: Gfunk – Functional Sample

A device for affordable non-invasive phenotyping of plants under production conditions.

Result 3: Scientific article

Jimp – Original/review article in a peer-reviewed scientific periodical that is included in the Web of Science (hereafter “WoS”) database with the flag “Article”, “Review”, or “Letter”

Summarizing the project results in the form of an impacted article.

Result 4: Summary Research Report (Vsouhrn)

The summary research report will record, evaluate and summarize the progress and results achieved by UP as the Czech partner of the project.
