Innovative and practical management approaches to reduce nitrogen excretion by ruminants (REDNEX)

Start date: Jul 1, 2008, End date: Oct 31, 2013,

Dairying is an important sector of EU agriculture, but intensification has been accompanied by an increase in N surplus. This has a negative environmental impact on groundwater (pollution with nitrates), surface water (eutrophication) and on the atmosphere (de-nitrification and ammonia volatilisation). The EU seeks to stimulate measures that improve management of nutrients, waste and water as a st ...

The terrestrial Carbon cycle under Climate Variability and Extremes – a Pan-European synthesis (CARBO-Extreme)

Start date: Jun 1, 2009, End date: May 31, 2013,

The aim of this project is to achieve an improved knowledge of the terrestrial carbon cycle in response to climate variability and extremes, to represent and apply this knowledge over Europe with predictive terrestrial carbon cycle modelling, to interpret the model predictions in terms of vulnerability of the terrestrial – in particular soil – carbon pools and give according advice to EU climate a ...

Targeted delivery of dietary flavanols for optimal human cell function: Effect on cardiovascular health (FLAVIOLA)

Start date: Sep 1, 2009, End date: Feb 28, 2013,

Nutrition, i.e. our daily diet, is a major life style factor, greatly impacting on human health and disease. Epidemiological evidence suggests that diets rich in plant-based foods and beverages decrease the risk for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Various phytochemical constituents, in particular a class of compounds called flavanols, have been avidly investigated in recent years. Current ...

Technological platform to develop nutritional additives to reduce methane emissions from ruminants (SMEthane)

Start date: Dec 1, 2010, End date: Nov 30, 2012,

This proposal aims to provide a technological platform for SME’s to develop and progress further knowledge on the successful use of nutritional additives to reduce methane (CH4) emissions from ruminants: SMEthane. CH4 is the second most important greenhouse gas, after CO2. At a global scale, livestock farming contributes up to 18% of total greenhouse gas emissions. The inhibition of CH4 formation ...
