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 ...
