The AgriKonsulta service provides professional assistance to individual farmers who have registered farmland, as well as herdsmen registered with the Abattoir. Its purpose is to offer expert advice and guidance to help improve agricultural practices and promote sustainability across Malta’s farming sector.

AgriKonsulta offers tailored advice in several key areas, including:

Integrated Pest Management (IPM):
This service emphasizes the principles of prevention, monitoring, and effective control to reduce dependency on plant protection products. This approach not only safeguards biodiversity but also enhances soil health, air quality, and water quality. AgriKonsulta equips farmers with practical tools to identify and manage pests effectively while promoting a healthier ecosystem.

Fertilizers, Irrigation, and Sustainable Farming Practices:
Customized fertilizer plans, along with advice on irrigation and general agricultural practices, help farmers make the best use of available resources and minimize negative environmental impacts. Through soil and water analysis, the initiative supports improved crop planning and reduces nutrient runoff into natural ecosystems.

Livestock Advisory Services:
AgriKonsulta promotes sustainable livestock practices that improve animal welfare, reduce environmental footprints, and strengthen rural economies. The tailored advice focuses on improving feed efficiency and ensuring strong biosecurity measures to prevent disease.
