The sustainable Greenhouse: demonstrative action for zero emission intensive greenhouse agriculture (SUSTGREENHOUSE)
Start date: Feb 1, 2009, End date: Jan 31, 2012,
Background
Greenhouse agriculture is a potential adaptation and mitigation strategy to climate change. Growing crops in such a protected environment will enable more adaptation to the predicted increase in frequency of extreme weather. It will also help mitigate the negative effects of wind, drought and severe rainfall.
Another advantage of greenhouse ho ...

Sustainable fertilisation of an intensive horticultural basin through an innovative management system of the local vegetal waste bio-mass utilising an existing composting plant and supporting a permanent info-structure (fertiLIFE)
Start date: Dec 1, 2002, End date: Feb 28, 2006,
Background
The project site is an area of intensive horticulture, and, as a result, produces a lot of vegetable waste bio-mass. This can cause environmental problems such as high levels of nitrogen components seeping into soil, surface and ground water. This waste is currently partly transformed in a composting plant. The issue of green wastes and compost ...
