Sustainable farm Management Aimed at Reducing Threats to SOILs under climate change (SMARTSOIL)

Start date: Nov 1, 2011, End date: Oct 31, 2015,

Farming practices that lead to declining returns and inputs of carbon (C) to soils pose a threat to soil functions by reducing availability of organic matter for soil microbes and by affecting soil structure, and soil C stocks that are key to regulating greenhouse gas emissions. SmartSOIL focuses on arable and mixed farming systems in Europe and will develop an innovative approach using the soil C ...

Towards sustainable modes of urban and peri-urban food provisioning (SUPURBFOOD)

Start date: Oct 1, 2012, End date: Sep 30, 2015,

Short food supply chains have been advocated as a means of rural development, as they improve the position of primary producers in the value chain. In this proposal we look at short supply chains from the perspective of urban rather than rural development. Short supply chains can play a role in addressing urban problems such as climate change, obesity, storm water control, etc.Short food supply ch ...
