Addressing key emerging diseases through a holistic, sustainable and cost-effective integrated pest management for the European berry agri-food system

Objetivo

Berries are among Europe’s most dynamic horticultural products, yet climate change, ecosystem degradation and globalisation are accelerating the emergence and spread of damaging plant pests. DiscoBerry responds with a clear goal: protect European strawberry, raspberry and blueberry value chains while cutting dependence on synthetic pesticides and strengthening preparedness. The project will deepen understanding of why and how new outbreaks arise—linking pest biology with climate and trade drivers—to reduce uncertainty in pest risk assessment and enable earlier, smarter responses.

Building on this knowledge, DiscoBerry delivers a practical Integrated Pest Management (IPM) package that combines three complementary pillars: (i) resilient/tolerant berry material as a preventive backbone; (ii) early detection and surveillance that provide farmer-ready decision support; and (iii) safe, cost-effective biological control solutions developed with circular principles. The full package is co-created and tested with growers and advisors across diverse European contexts and in pathogen-origin corridors beyond Europe, ensuring relevance to both conventional and organic systems and accelerating uptake.

Impact is quantified through a One Health approach (environmental, economic, social and public-health dimensions), demonstrating reduced disease incidence and severity, lower chemical inputs and improved farm profitability. A strong Multi-Actor Approach mobilises farmers, SMEs, advisors, civil society and policy actors, while targeted briefs translate evidence into recommendations for EU plant-health frameworks. By advancing understanding of pest emergence, delivering cost-effective preventive and curative measures, validating IPM in real farming conditions and informing policy, DiscoBerry directly addresses “Emerging and future risks to plant health” and helps move EU agri-food systems towards healthier, biodiversity-friendly and climate-resilient production.
