European Union and African Union cooperative research to increase Food production in irrigated farming systems in Africa/ EAU4Food (EAU4Food)
Date du début: 1 juil. 2011, Date de fin: 30 juin 2015,
EAU4Food seeks to address the need for new approaches to increase food production in irrigated areas in Africa, while ensuring healthy and resilient environments. Potential pitfalls of introducing innovations in local farming systems, like limited adoption by farmers and trade-off effects to other (environmental) systems are overcome by, respectively, i) utilizing a true transdisciplinary approach ...

Forest fires under climate, social and economic changes in Europe, the Mediterranean and other fire-affected areas of the world (FUME)
Date du début: 1 janv. 2010, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2013,
Fire regimes result from interactions between climate, land-use and land-cover (LULC), and socioeconomic factors, among other. These changed during the last decades, particularly around the Mediterranean. Our understanding of how they affected fire regime in the past is limited. During this century temperatures, drought and heat waves will very likely increase, and rainfall decrease. These and fur ...

Indicators for biodiversity in organic and low-input farming systems (BioBio)
Date du début: 1 mars 2009, Date de fin: 31 août 2012,
Organic and low-input farming systems have been shown to benefit farmland biodiversity although a generic indicator system to assess these benefits at the European level is lacking. The BIOBIO project will therefore pursue the following objectives: 1. Conceptualization of criteria for a scientifically-based selection of biodiversity indicators for organic/low-input farming systems; 2. Assessment ...
