Nutri-know
NUTRI-KNOW aims at improving nutrient management practices in European agriculture. By consolidating knowledge from various EIP-AGRI Operational Groups across EU member states, it seeks to address urgent needs, challenges, and opportunities for farmers. Through a platform and thematic network, NUTRI-KNOW aims to facilitate the exchange of information, strengthen knowledge flows, and promote sustainable agricultural practices. Ultimately, the project aims to reduce reliance on imported mineral fertilisers, improve agricultural and environmental management, and enhance the overall efficiency and sustainability of the European agri-food sector.
BBioNet8
BBioNets is a thematic network that relies on, promotes and further advances the work carried out by EIP-AGRI Operational Groups (OGs) with respect to the management and/or processing of agricultural and forest biomass with Bio-Based Technologies (BBTs). Its objective is to incite primary producers all over Europe to embrace and adopt BBTs that will enable them to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, make better use of underutilised biomass, create new diversified incomes, reduce costs through circular practices, increase farm/forest sustainable management, and create/develop new value chains.
NutriBudget
Optimising agricultural nutrient balances:
– Developing a model capable of predicting the spatial flows of nutrients and carbon in the main European agricultural systems, from the regional to the farm level.
– To co-create a decision-making tool (Nutriplatform): an integrated nutrient management platform to help optimise the use of nutrients to reduce pollution and losses.
– Testing and implementing innovative mitigation measures in five pilot cases.
Biorefine Cluster Europe
The Biorefine Cluster Europe interconnects projects and people within the domain of biobased resource recovery, striving to contribute to a more sustainable resource management.
SOLACE
SolACE is focusing on three major crops grown in Europe: bread wheat, durum wheat and potatoes. The project will identify :
– The optimal combinations of above- and below-ground traits to improve resource use efficiency (water, N and P).
– The genotypes with the best yields under combined water and N or P constraints.
– Innovative practices that make the best use of plant-plant and plant-microbe interactions to access water, N and P resources in conventional, organic and conservation agriculture.
The partners are testing different techniques such as varietal mixes, rotation changes, legume-based intercrops, cover crops, microbial inoculants and improved decision support systems to cope with these stresses.
LegumES
The legumES will ensure:
1. the uptake of best practices in agrobiodiverse legume-based cropped systems;
2. the uptake of methodologies and tools to quantify and balance the environmental and economic ecosystem service (ES) benefits provided by legumes;
3. that the ES benefits and cost offered by legumes are quantified across scales from field, farm, regional, national, and global levels;
4. ES will be assessed to identify those conditions which are able to meet the EU targets: to decrease agrichemical inputs and losses, combat climate change, reverse biodiversity loss, and ensure the best nutritional provisioning.
To help achieve this LegumES also centres activities on a suite of 25 innovative legume-based Pilot Studies which use a wide range of legume species and types, plus different cropping approaches and linked value chains spanning the pedoclimatic regions of Europe.
Nutrient Recycling
– Identify relevant techniques (e.g. composting, bio-digestion, etc.) to process livestock manure and other organic sources and assess the agronomic and environmental value of the derived products (e.g. nutrient availability, quality, impacts on soils, contaminants, etc.).
– Contextually, identify tools and instruments to help farmers to measure the nutrient content (and availability for crops) and recommendations for the application of these products.
– Analyse economic and technical factors (e.g. livestock management practices, sanitary aspects, etc.) that stimulate or limit the use of these products in agriculture and indicate how to address them exploring the role of innovation and knowledge transfer.
– Illustrate possible strategies to adapt derived products to market demands (e.g. development of quality standards) and successful business cases that exist at farm level, local and regional scale.
– Identify research needs from practice, possible gaps in technical knowledge, and further research work to address them.
– Suggest innovative solutions and provide ideas for EIP-AGRI Operational Groups and other innovative projects.
FAIRshare
FAIRshare aims to support farm advisors to use Digital Advisory Tools and Services (DATS) to support a more productive and sustainable agriculture FAIRshare has two main components:Firstly, gather an evidence base of the digital tools and services used internationally. The inventory of tools will be accessible on an intuitively navigable online interface that has been co-designed with end users. Accompanying the tools in the online inventory will be information, for instance short ‘good practice’ vignettes, on how the tools may be used/adapted for use.
Secondly, generate and resource a ‘living laboratory’, empowering advisor peers from across the EU to interact with the online inventory and, in a series of workshops, to exchange, co-adapt, co-design and apply digital tools in their individual advisory contexts.
PREMIERE
PREMIERE will foster the effective preparation of successful multi-actor proposals for Horizon Europe and beyond by developing a suite of support activities and easy-to-use materials:
– Organisation of brokerage events for forthcoming Horizon Europe calls for multi-actor projects
– Pilot seed funding for project proposal development, including specific to engage EIP-AGRI Operational Groups in Horizon Europe
– Celebration of successful new multi-actor projects at Granting Parties
– Multi-actor training through a multi-actor simulation game, an online Serious Game, an Online Academy, and a MOOCas well as offline training-for-trainers
– Divers output such as online videos, creative videos, How-to-Guides etc.
– Recommendations and briefings for the European Commission, their services and external evaluators to help to ensure the implementation of the multi-actor approach in new project proposals.
ReNu2Cycle (ReNu2Farm)
ReNu2Cycle is building on the achievements of ReNu2Farm which provided basic and regional quantified fertiliser demand research. New co-development and implementation that need to be performed to adapt regional best-practices for NWE:
– Living lab concepts encouraging long-term co-innovation and implementation support.
– Maximising RDF use by creating innovative fertiliser blends and business solutions for producers portfolios including sustainability assessment.
– Traders will be empowered to consult/market RDFs.
– RDF use at (organic) agriculture farms will be assessed.
– All results will be capitalised in one transregional nutrient supply-demand strategy and regional action plans.
IOF2020
The project implements 19 case studies aimed at the development, evaluation and deployment of a series of connected components and solutions in 5 agricultural production sectors: (fruit, arable crops, horticulture, dairy production, meat production). In terms of impact, the case studies must clearly demonstrate the commercial interest of innovative Internet of Things solutions for a large number of application areas.
