Sustainable Water treatment and Nutrient reuse options (SUWANU)
Start date: Jul 1, 2013, End date: Dec 31, 2015,
Agricultural practices put the biggest pressure on fresh water resources for irrigation (55% of the water use in Europe) and on fertilizer usage. The European farmers face serious problems such as freshwater scarcity and nutrient availability, extreme climate conditions and the growing demand of the increasing population. This results in rising prices for mineral fertilizers and food, risky measur ...

Cross-border cooperation for composting by-products in olive-growing. (TROPLO)
Start date: Feb 28, 2006, End date: Mar 30, 2008,
Together with vine-growing, olive-growing is the most important agricultural activity in the Slovenian Istria and in the hinterland of Trieste. During the extraction of oil, a large quantity of wastes and by-products (vegetation water and wet/dry olive pomace) is produced; because of their content of polyphenolic and organic substances, these wastes threaten the Mediterranean environment. Waste pr ...
