Cocoa depends on tiny, often overlooked insects—many of which we don’t really like! See this pic of a great new study www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... by Isabelle Merle & Fabrice Requier

We’re very happy to have hosted this year’s annual meeting in Barcelona. It’s been an intense but truly rewarding week — and we’re already looking forward to next year’s gathering! ✨ @uni-freiburg.de

We also visited the experimental fields at IRTA Mas Badia, where we were able to see the #LivingLabs and the experiments currently being carried out. On our way to #BaixEmpordà, we visited Fructícola Empordà orchards and Mooma’s facilities 🍎🍷

Over two days, we exchanged updates on the project’s progress and worked collaboratively across the different work packages, covering #research, cooperation with #farmers, #communication, and much more 😍🍏
