Secure sustainable fruit production - year 1 synthesis report

This work package, sustainable fruit production, has three focus themes: thinning, water/nutrients and organic/IPM. During the meeting of the group, scanning reports were presented, giving an overview on the current status of best practices of sustainable production that growers apply today as well as recent developments in sustainable fruit production that are in the pipeline.
Developments for the future are:
Thinning: DSS, decision support models as a tool that can help growers to make decisions about thinning, through measuring the reaction of the trees
Water/nutrients: (1) modelling combined with sensors, soil and plant based and (2) a portal or service to combine and/or integrate models for several subjects
Organic/IPM: side netting against insects, biodiversity and the use of big data.
