At POMATO, we place great importance on building meaningful connections with sister projects, EU and international initiatives that share our vision for sustainable agriculture and plant health.

By aligning with like-minded efforts, we enhance our collective impact and broaden the reach of our stakeholder engagement. This collaborative spirit reflects our core values: inclusivity, innovation, and shared responsibility.

By working together, we strengthen our ability to tackle bacterial outbreaks caused by Clavibacter sepedonicus and Ralstonia solanacearum and protect the quality of potato and tomato crops.

Our objectives include identifying resistance genes, developing early detection tools using AI and drone imaging, creating natural and biological control solutions, and validating integrated pest management strategies in both greenhouses and real field conditions. We also focus on sharing results and encouraging uptake across sectors.

Through joint efforts and open knowledge exchange, we can reach more stakeholders, foster innovation, and accelerate the shift toward sustainable plant health strategies. Together, we are building a resilient future for crops, communities, and food systems.
