Strategies for Organic- and Low-input-farming to Mitigate and Adapt to Climate Change (SOLMACC Life)
Start date: Aug 1, 2013, End date: Jul 31, 2018,
Background
Anthropogenic climate change has become a well accepted fact. Since the beginning of the industrial revolution, anthropogenic emissions have led to an increase in concentrations of greenhouse gases (GHG) in the atmosphere, thereby contributing to global warming. Combating climate change is a key priority for the EU, which has put in place speci ...

USE OF BIOPOLYMERS FOR SUSTAINABLE STABILIZATION OF QUALITY WINES (STABIWINE)
Start date: Sep 1, 2012, End date: Nov 30, 2015,
Wine market is very competitive. EU producers need to reduce production costs and increase their sustainability standard while improving the quality of their wine. Wine stability is one of the most important quality parameters. To avoid formation of cloudiness or precipitates in bottled wines, producers preventively treat it by mean of physical methods or additives. The present practices for tarta ...

Towards sustainable modes of urban and peri-urban food provisioning (SUPURBFOOD)
Start date: Oct 1, 2012, End date: Sep 30, 2015,
Short food supply chains have been advocated as a means of rural development, as they improve the position of primary producers in the value chain. In this proposal we look at short supply chains from the perspective of urban rather than rural development. Short supply chains can play a role in addressing urban problems such as climate change, obesity, storm water control, etc.Short food supply ch ...

Development of an Innovative Industrial Bioreacting and Fermentation Process producing an Organic Insect Repellent-Fertilizer for Ecological farming (EcoBug)
Start date: Dec 1, 2008, End date: Jan 31, 2012,
Our idea is to develop an “all-in-one” organic smell-free fertilizer and insecticide to increase yield of eco-crops, reduce costs, and reduce emissions to air & water that are common while using inorganic pesticides and fertilizers or fresh manure. The production of smell free fertilizer will be based on anaerobic fermenting of manure in a bioreactor. The insecticide production will be based on gr ...
