Wheat harvest in Romania. These are the last grain fields of the European Union before Ukraine, and they share a very fertile black soil with their counterparts across the border. On both sides, the so-called “Chernozem“ keeps cereals sprouting in abundance. A question, though, is looming large these days: is pesticide-free agriculture still possible in a context of global crisis?
This video was co-produced by INRAE, France’s National Research Institute for Agriculture, Food and Environment.
Despite the war at their doorstep and the pressure of having to produce ever more, the scientists and researchers at the University of Agricultural Sciences and Veterinary Medicine of Bucharest (USAMV) are running their experiments at an unabated pace - in field crops (cereals) for the most part, notably in connection with precision agriculture and extended crop rotations, but also in orchards and vineyards; Romania, this is Iittle known, is a very dynamic country when it comes to fruit trees.
This is my second stop on my “Field Trip”, my study tour of agricultural research across Europe.
The European Research Alliance “Towards a Chemical Pesticide-free Agriculture” was launched by INRAE, together with its German partners from the Leibniz Centre for Agricultural Landscape Research (ZALF) and the German Federal Research Centre for Cultivated Plants (JKI). Under ERA’s umbrella, 34 research organisations from 20 European countries are currently working closely together with a view to pooling their strengths and facilitating the exchange of knowledge and expertise in their respective fields. One of the central aims of the alliance is to provide scientific support for an ambitious objective set by the European Commission: cutting Europe’s use of pesticides in half by 2030.

The impact of my travels:
I’m always aiming to limit my carbon footprint. For this video, the impact created by my train travels (source: Ademe/monimpacttransport.fr) was 71.31 kg CO2e for an itinerary of 2.151 km, which is 311.69 kg CO2e less than if I’d chosen to travel by plane.
