CEMA And EPBA work in of agricultural practical favour benign with the bees

CEMA And EPBA have decided to explore the opportunities to cooperate in the learning and innovation, with the aim to promote the deployment and development of the technical improvements that support the benign agricultural practices with the bees. The European Association of Professional Beekeepers, EPBA (European Professional Beekeepers Association), receives with satisfaction the opportunity to investigate beside the European Association of Agricultural Machinery, CEMA (European Agricultural Machinery Association), the way to share the best procedures and take advantage of the new technologies that allow to the agriculturalists minimise the impact that the agricultural works cause in the bees and other pollinators. Both organisations aunarán strengths to establish the circumstances that boost the benign agricultural practices with the bees and will recognise the exemplary progresses by means of a prize to the innovation.

The two organisations agree in that the agriculture of precision keeps the commitment to reduce the environingingmental impact of the agricultural production. For this reason, the two associations will provide material of learning on how use the agricultural machinery of last generation applied to the systems of benign exploitation with the bees and that increase the knowledge of the new technologies as they go arising. Besides, CEMA And EPBA will have like aim establish the specific areas in which the innovation could help even more to reduce the threat to which are subjected the bees.

Said areas can include the reduction of the use of pesticidas through the application of technologies more precise, the reduction in the loss of bees with the help of new technicians of siega and recolección of determinate crops, or the incorporation of measures more advanced and aims more precise in the control of plagues and bad grasses. CEMA And EPBA will present also this initiative to the General Steering of Investigation of the European Commission with the end to study the synergies between the financials directed to the investigation on the welfare of the bee and the financials of the investigation on the agriculture of precision, that, until the moment, have not been related.
