6️⃣ DAYS till the European Parliament votes on the Sustainable Use Regulation #SUR report! We urge MEPs vote for the SUR in the name of a more #sustainable future for all. The SUR would boost #biodiversity and provide alternatives for #farmers , while also ensuring #FoodSecurity .

We're counting down to Wednesday 22nd November, when the European Parliament European Parliament will vote on the Sustainable Use Regulation #SUR . The #SUR will provide alternatives for #farmers in the transition to #SustainableAgriculture , with strong support for #biocontrol solutions.

Another super exciting PhD project - focus on entomopathogenic fungi with Helen at UKCEH and use of biocontrol in agriculture with Gia, I'm bringing the belowground microbes into the mix 😀

Great PhD opportunity to investigate Conservation biological control using functionally diverse populations of natural enemies (predators, parasitoids, microbes) within agricultural systems. Join Helen Hesketh UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology! Closing date 31 Jan 2024.

Presenting at AAB increasing IPM across the innovation cycle this morning.
