Concept of the GOOD Project 
Weeds negatively affect the sustainability of EU farming systems with weed management relying to a large extent on herbicides. The reduction of pesticide use and risk has become major policy targets of Farm to Fork strategy, aiming to promote agroecology and the transition to sustainable and resilient farming systems. GOOD is a 4-year project adopting multidisciplinary approach, aspired to create and evaluate Agroecological Weed Management (AWM) systems, and demonstrate that AWM adoption reduces herbicide use and enhances sustainability and resilience of cropping systems.
Our Vision
The main ambition of GOOD is to foster the agroecological transition for weed management across Europe. One of the goals of GOOD is to move the boundaries of the practices and research knowledge acquisitions to the current state of the art by realistically proposing innovative and sustainable solutions to accelerate the rate of adoption of effective agroecological weed management solutions by farmers. The AWM solutions proposed will be tested (alone & in combinations), evaluated and demonstrated at different locations across Europe through Living Labs (LLs) representing local/regional agronomic realities.
