Real research began in 2019. To delve into this little-known crop in Belgium, Beno\u00eet sought the help of Pierre-Olivier Bonhomme (with vast experience in forestry and arboriculture), who immediately agreed to take on the challenge. Beno\u00eet also passed on his passion for hazelnuts to his wife M\u00e9lanie, who joined the adventure.<\/p>\n<p>For three years, the trio studied hazelnut cultivation extensively, through numerous trips to countries such as France, Italy, Switzerland, and more. In parallel, Beno\u00eet and M\u00e9lanie planted 20 hectares of hazelnuts on their farm in Sart-Saint-Laurent, in the province of Namur. They first planted one hectare as a trial before expanding by 19 hectares the following year. This initial plot allowed them to gain practical experience and avoid mistakes when scaling up. If a treatment (pruning, soil management, fertilization, pest control, etc.) didn&#8217;t work, it was adjusted for the rest of the orchard the next year.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8a60a3f elementor-widget elementor-widget-gallery\" data-id=\"8a60a3f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;columns&quot;:3,&quot;columns_tablet&quot;:3,&quot;lazyload&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;gallery_layout&quot;:&quot;grid&quot;,&quot;columns_mobile&quot;:1,&quot;gap&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:10,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;gap_tablet&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:10,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;gap_mobile&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:10,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;link_to&quot;:&quot;file&quot;,&quot;aspect_ratio&quot;:&quot;3:2&quot;,&quot;overlay_background&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;content_hover_animation&quot;:&quot;fade-in&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"gallery.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-gallery__container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"e-gallery-item elementor-gallery-item elementor-animated-content\" href=\"https:\/\/agronuts.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/thumbnail_20220826_161622-1.jpg\" data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"yes\" data-elementor-lightbox-slideshow=\"8a60a3f\" data-elementor-lightbox-title=\"Verger pi\u00e9montais\" data-e-action-hash=\"#elementor-action%3Aaction%3Dlightbox%26settings%3DeyJpZCI6MjgzLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczpcL1wvYWdyb251dHMuYmVcL3dwLWNvbnRlbnRcL3VwbG9hZHNcLzIwMjJcLzA5XC90aHVtYm5haWxfMjAyMjA4MjZfMTYxNjIyLTEuanBnIiwic2xpZGVzaG93IjoiOGE2MGEzZiJ9\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-gallery-image elementor-gallery-item__image\" data-thumbnail=\"https:\/\/agronuts.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/thumbnail_20220826_161622-1-768x1024.jpg\" data-width=\"768\" data-height=\"1024\" aria-label=\"\" role=\"img\" ><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-gallery-item__overlay\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"e-gallery-item elementor-gallery-item elementor-animated-content\" href=\"https:\/\/agronuts.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/pepiniere.jpg\" data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"yes\" data-elementor-lightbox-slideshow=\"8a60a3f\" data-elementor-lightbox-title=\"p\u00e9pini\u00e8re\" data-e-action-hash=\"#elementor-action%3Aaction%3Dlightbox%26settings%3DeyJpZCI6NDAyLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczpcL1wvYWdyb251dHMuYmVcL3dwLWNvbnRlbnRcL3VwbG9hZHNcLzIwMjNcLzExXC9wZXBpbmllcmUuanBnIiwic2xpZGVzaG93IjoiOGE2MGEzZiJ9\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-gallery-image elementor-gallery-item__image\" data-thumbnail=\"https:\/\/agronuts.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/pepiniere-1024x768.jpg\" data-width=\"800\" data-height=\"600\" aria-label=\"\" role=\"img\" ><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-gallery-item__overlay\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"e-gallery-item elementor-gallery-item elementor-animated-content\" href=\"https:\/\/agronuts.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/thumbnail_IMG_7894-1.jpg\" data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"yes\" data-elementor-lightbox-slideshow=\"8a60a3f\" data-elementor-lightbox-title=\"Premi\u00e8res noisettes de Sart-Saint-Laurent\" data-e-action-hash=\"#elementor-action%3Aaction%3Dlightbox%26settings%3DeyJpZCI6MjQ5LCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczpcL1wvYWdyb251dHMuYmVcL3dwLWNvbnRlbnRcL3VwbG9hZHNcLzIwMjJcLzA5XC90aHVtYm5haWxfSU1HXzc4OTQtMS5qcGciLCJzbGlkZXNob3ciOiI4YTYwYTNmIn0%3D\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-gallery-image elementor-gallery-item__image\" data-thumbnail=\"https:\/\/agronuts.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/thumbnail_IMG_7894-1-768x1024.jpg\" data-width=\"768\" data-height=\"1024\" aria-label=\"\" role=\"img\" ><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-gallery-item__overlay\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-45db176 elementor-widget-tablet__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"45db176\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>After many trips to Italy, a partnership was formed with an Italian agronomist who owns a hazelnut nursery.
