LInking farmland Biodiversity to Ecosystem seRvices for effective ecofunctional intensificATION (LIBERATION)
Date du début: 1 févr. 2013, Date de fin: 31 janv. 2017,
The next few decades will witness a rapidly increasing demand for agricultural products. This growing demand needs to be met largely through intensification (produce more from the same land surface) because there is little scope for an increase in agricultural area. Eco-functional intensification has been proposed as a promising solution. Eco-functional intensification is the optimization of all p ...

Linking Epidemiology and Laboratory Research on Transboundary Animal Diseases and zoonoses in China and EU (LinkTADs)
Date du début: 1 nov. 2013, Date de fin: 31 oct. 2016,
The continuous growth of the world population translates into a demand of animal protein that can only be achieved through technological advances in farming, intensification, and expansion of farmed land. These pressures, combined with the increasing international trade of animals and their products, will lead to the rapid spread of animal diseases across borders and the emergence of new pathogen ...

Providing a new generation of methodologies and tools for cost-effective risk-based animal health surveillance systems for the benefit of livestock producers, decision makers and consumers (RISKSUR)
Date du début: 1 nov. 2012, Date de fin: 31 oct. 2015,
The risk of occurrence of exotic, new (emerging), re-emerging as well as endemic diseases has increased substantially, particularly due to globalisation and intensification of animal production. While the need for effective animal health surveillance is widely recognised for the management of such threats, the currently used systems do not take optimal advantage of recent advances in epidemiologic ...

SemaGrow: Data intensive techniques to boost the real-time performance of global agricultural data infrastructures (SemaGrow)
Date du début: 1 nov. 2012, Date de fin: 31 oct. 2015,
As the trend to open up data and provide them freely on the Internet intensifies, the opportunities to create added value by combining and cross-indexing heterogeneous data at a large scale increase. To seize them, we need infrastructure that is not only efficient, real-time responsive and scalable but is also flexible and robust enough to welcome data in any schema and form and to transparently r ...

Targeted research effort on African swine fever (ASFORCE)
Date du début: 1 oct. 2012, Date de fin: 30 sept. 2015,
"African Swine Fever (ASF) is a devastating disease affecting swine caused by a complex virus, the only member of the Asfarviridae family. Disease transmission is maintained under different and complex epidemiological scenarios involving domestic and wild swine and arthropod vectors (soft ticks Ornithodoros sp). Due to the fact that no vaccine has been obtained so far, prevention, control, and era ...

Date du début: 1 août 2012, Date de fin: 31 juil. 2015,
The literature published in the last 3 years trying to explain agricultural markets instability during 2007-2009 offers inconclusive results about its causes and impacts. On balance, available scientific evidence gives insufficient guidance for prioritizing policy initiatives, and for effectively averting and mitigating new food crises. Based on an integrated approach, Project ULYSSES seeks to pro ...

Climate change predictions in Sub-Saharan Africa: impacts and adaptations (CLIMAFRICA)
Date du début: 1 oct. 2010, Date de fin: 30 sept. 2014,
Africa is probably the most vulnerable continent to climate change and climate variability and shows diverse range of agro-ecological and geographical features. Thus the impacts of climate change can be very high and will greatly differ across the continent, and even within countries. There is a urgent need for the most appropriate and up-to-date tools to better understand and predict climate chan ...
