The New Advisers project will be offering one-day working sessions to advisory services in order to present the new professional tools and resources it has produced over the past two years. It is also staging a workshop in Hungary on September 11 and 12. Aimed at agronomic advisers, trainers, managers of extension services, agricultural researchers and policy makers, the workshop is entitled 'Innovative advice for less pesticide'.
Details of the one-day sessions are included in a recently produced New Advisers report containing details of the project's results and future activities.
