    The TEHO Plus project from 2011-2013 aimed to develop an agricultural advisory system for sustainable farming practices and effective water protection. The project worked with 175 farms in Southwest Finland to trial measures like catch crops, winter oilseed planting, and deep-rooted plants. Farm visits, trials, water quality monitoring, and seminars provided recommendations to farmers on fertilizer use, soil structure, crop rotation, and biodiversity maintenance. The goal was to motivate farmers to adopt practices that protect water resources and the environment while maintaining agricultural productivity.
