DEMONSTRATION OF SUSTAINABLE ALTERNATIVES TO CHEMICAL PRODUCTS FOR EUROPEAN CROP PROTECTION (AGROINTEGRA) (LIFEAGROINTEGRA)
Start date: Jul 1, 2014, End date: Jun 30, 2017,
Background
The predominant model of crop protection in Europe is based on chemical control of pests, diseases and weeds. This model has high environmental risks. The use of chemical pesticides impacts on fauna and flora beyond the targeted pests. Bad practices in relation to the application of chemicals on crops also increases this negative impact, and le ...

Fixation of atmospheric CO2 and reduction of greenhouse emissions by sustainable management of irrigation agriculture (LIFE RegaDIOX)
Start date: Jul 1, 2013, End date: Dec 31, 2016,
Background
Agriculture is responsible for 20% of total greenhouse gas emissions, without even considering associated energy consumption. These emissions originate mainly from the fermentation and oxidation of organic matter and nitrogenised compounds. However, levels can vary significantly depending on the agricultural techniques used.
The introduction ...

Regenerative agricultural practices: demonstration of an alternative sustainable management of agrarian soils (LIFE REGEN FARMING)
Start date: Jul 1, 2013, End date: Dec 30, 2016,
Background
Soil performs vital ecological, social and economic services for society. Its importance for the production of food, fibre and wood has been long recognised, as has its role as a surface for housing and infrastructure development. However, it is now recognised that soil also filters and buffers contaminants, allowing us to have clean drinking w ...

CUSTOMIZED ADVANCED GIS ADVISORY TOOLS FOR THE SUSTAINABLE MANAGEMENT OF EXTENSIVE CROPS (sigAGROasesor)
Start date: Sep 1, 2012, End date: Dec 31, 2015,
Background
A major challenge for farmers and farm managers is to produce crop in a more efficient and sustainable way. Pressure on the land is increasing with the growing demand for food, but at the same time, key resources, notably water, are becoming increasingly scarce, and there are also important economic and environmental pressures to reduce the use ...
