FORAGE SYSTEMS FOR LESS GHG EMISSION AND MORE SOIL CARBON SINK IN CONTINENTAL AND MEDITERRANEAN AGRICULTURAL AREAS (LIFE+FORAGE4CLIMATE)
Date du début: 1 sept. 2016, Date de fin: 31 août 2020,
Background
The agricultural sector and climate change are strongly interlinked. On the one hand, climate change has a significant impact on the quality and quantity of agricultural production and related revenues while, on the other hand, agricultural practices generate considerable amounts of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions that contribute to global warmi ...

Helping enhanced soil functions and adaptation to climate change by sustainable conservation agriculture techniques (LIFE HelpSoil)
Date du début: 1 juil. 2013, Date de fin: 30 juin 2017,
Background
In the river Po plain, the organic carbon stock stored in soils varies from 34-60 tonnes per hectare (t/ha). The potential for further uptake if soils are managed appropriately is estimated to be at least 12.8 t/ha of CO2 equivalent. Furthermore, increasing the organic content of soil improves the physical and chemical qualities of soils, leadi ...

A model to reclaim and reuse wastewater for quality crop production (ReQpro)
Date du début: 1 déc. 2013, Date de fin: 28 févr. 2017,
Background
Agriculture is the top water-consuming sector in southern European countries, accounting for more than 50% of the total water demand and reaching up to 80% in specific cases, according to the European Environment Agency's report, âThe European environment, state and outlook 2010, water resources-quantity and flowsâ. In Italy, agriculture ac ...

Reduction of greenhouse gases from agricultural systems of Emilia-Romagna (LIFE+_Climate changE-R)
Date du début: 1 juil. 2013, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2016,
Background
Italyâs agricultural sector is considered to be responsible for producing 35% of the countryâs methane and 45% of its nitrous oxide greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. There is a link between intensive agricultural activities and the level of these emissions. Much of Emilia-Romagnaâs agricultural output is focused on producing high quality fo ...

Evaluation of manure management and treatment technology for environmental protection and sustainable livestock farming in Europe (MANEV)
Date du début: 1 janv. 2011, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2015,
Background
The negative environmental impacts on areas of intensive pig farming areas are considerable and well-known. They include air, water and soil quality deterioration, as well as social nuisance and health impacts. Efforts to recycle nutrients in livestock manure must be adapted to local characteristics.
Environmental technologies and management ...

Achieving good water QUality status in intensive Animal production areas (AQUA)
Date du début: 1 oct. 2010, Date de fin: 31 mars 2014,
Background
Intensive livestock farming contributes to excessive levels of nutrients such as nitrogen (N) and phosphorous (P) in the environment. This can deteriorate groundwater quality, especially through increased nitrate concentrations. An increase in livestock numbers over the past 50 years has generated an increased amount of manure, which in turn ha ...

Integrated systems to enhance sequestration of carbon, producing energy crops by using organic residues (Seq-Cure)
Date du début: 1 déc. 2006, Date de fin: 30 juin 2010,
Background
In 2000, CO2 emissions in Emilia-Romagna were estimated at almost 35 million tonnes. If the other greenhouse gases, CH4 and N2O are included, emissions in the region currently exceed 41 million tonnes/yr of CO2 equivalents. Agriculture can contribute to mitigating climate change by producing biomass as a substitute for fossil fuels, as well as ...

Optimisation of nitrogen management for groundwater quality improvement and conservation (OptiMa-N)
Date du début: 1 oct. 2004, Date de fin: 30 sept. 2007,
Background
Agriculture, particularly intensive livestock production, contributes 60 % of nitrogen released into the soil and water of northern Italyâs Po Plain. Assessing the amount of soluble nitrogen in the environment during different periods of the year and in different climatic and cultivation conditions is an important part of the knowledge-gather ...
