New SPRINT videos: Pesticide use in Croatian olive groves
We are pleased to share two new videos from the SPRINT project, filmed during our recent plenary meeting.
In the first video, Ana Cehic Maric explains why her family farm continues to rely on pesticides as they ensure good yields. Meanwhile, in our second video, Michael and Jolanta Pavlovic discuss how and why they decided to become an organic olive grove.

How and why SPRINT are studying microbiomes
In the past year, we have gathered hundreds of samples across the SPRINT case study sites (Click here for more information). Many of these samples will be used in microbiome analyses, including: soil samples, gut samples from fish, fecal samples from humans and livestock, and nasal swabs from humans. We will analyse the composition of microbes in these samples. All of these samples contain millions of bacteria, fungi and other micro-organisms, which in combination, are called the microbiome.
