Integrated and innovative key actions for mycotoxin management in the food and feed chain (MycoKey)
Start date: Apr 1, 2016, End date: Mar 31, 2020,
MycoKey aims to generate innovative and integrated solutions that will support stakeholders in effective and sustainable mycotoxin management along food and feed chains. The project will contribute to reduce mycotoxin contamination mainly in Europe and China, where frequent and severe mycotoxin contaminations occur in crops, and where international trade of commodities and contaminated batches are ...

3to4: Converting C3 to C4 photosynthesis for sustainable agriculture (3TO4)
Start date: Jan 1, 2012, End date: Dec 31, 2016,
Most plants use the C3 pathway of photosynthesis that is compromised by gross inefficiencies in CO2 fixation. However, some plants use a super-charged photosynthetic mechanism called C4 photosynthesis. The C4 pathway is used by the most productive vegetation and crops on Earth. In addition to faster photosynthesis, C4 plants demand less water and less nitrogen. Overall, our aim is to introduce the ...

Enhancing biomass production from marginal lands with perennial grasses (GRASSMARGINS)
Start date: Oct 1, 2011, End date: Sep 30, 2015,
Perennial grasses, which once established can be harvested and re-grow annually for many decades, have a number of other beneficial characteristics which suit them as biomass crops. These include high resource use efficiency, high productivity, good environmental qualities and a wide range of end uses. Environmental benefits include high rates of soil carbon sequestration, enhanced biodiversity an ...
