2) Chloe McCallum @ChloeMcCallum_ presents our work on 'The effect of personalized pesticide risk information on intentions to adopt fungi-resistant grapes' w @lucca_zachmann, also part of @snf_ch funded TRAPEGO project
3) Viviana Garcia Gomez @ViviGarciaGom presents our work on 'The role of risk perceptions in the adoption of a pesticide-free production scheme' w @YanbingWang4 and N Möhring @CNRS
