The Value Chain from Microalgae to PUFA (PUFAChain)

Start date: Nov 1, 2013, End date: Oct 31, 2017,

The overall goal of the project is to develop a robust scientific and technological basis for substan-tiating strategic and technical decisions for the industrial development of high-value products from algae. This shall contribute to develop this new and sustainable resource for market. The concept of the proposal is strictly oriented to the value chain of microalgae. Starting at the very end of ...

Epigenetics towards systems biology (EPIGENESYS)

Start date: Oct 1, 2010, End date: Mar 31, 2016,

The ‘EpiGeneSys’ Network of Excellence aims to enable European epigenetics research to enter the arena of systems biology, a new step forward with major implications for human health. Many diseases, not explained solely by gene mutation, have rather been associated with epigenetic disorders. Following the identification of key epigenetic regulators, a move towards a systems biology approach is nee ...

Improved Nutrient and Energy Management through Anaerobic Digestion (INEMAD)

Start date: Apr 1, 2012, End date: Mar 31, 2016,

"This proposal, INEMAD will concentrate on innovative strategies to reconnect livestock and crop production farming systems. New flows of energy and materials within the agricultural sector (or linked to the agricultural sector) will be analysed and will create opportunities for re-thinking the relation between crop and livestock production. Various options to cope with recycling, greenhouse gas ( ...

Intelligent sensing and manipulation for sustainable production and harvesting of high value crops, clever robots for crops (CROPS)

Start date: Oct 1, 2010, End date: Sep 30, 2014,

CROPS will develop scientific know-how for a highly configurable, modular and clever carrier platform that includes modular parallel manipulators and “intelligent tools” (sensors, algorithms, sprayers, grippers) that can be easily installed onto the carrier and are capable of adapting to new tasks and conditions. Several technological demonstrators will be developed for high value crops like green ...

Early detection of low temperature plant stress: towards a tool for energy-efficient production (EARLYTOOL)

Start date: Aug 22, 2011, End date: Dec 12, 2013,

"The incidence of low temperature in greenhouse cultivation involves the reduction of crop yield and the use of heating in order to avoid such decrease. In Central/Northern Europe, high input of fossil energy is used to increase plant productivity, which significantly contributes to emission of greenhouse gases. In contrast, heating is only used for very extreme conditions in Southern Europe, whic ...

Agriculture and Energy Efficiency (AGREE)

Start date: Oct 1, 2011, End date: Oct 31, 2013,

"Until now energy efficiency in agriculture has received little attention, except for energy use in greenhouses. Nevertheless, it is considerable, especially when indirect energy use is taken into account. AGREE has the objective of showing the potential of short term energy efficiency gains and the promise of the long term potential. Environmental effects of savings on direct and indirect energy ...

EFFICIENT USE OF INPUT IN PROTECTED HORTICULTURE (EUPHOROS)

Start date: Mar 1, 2008, End date: Aug 31, 2012,

"The four-years project EUPHOROS aims at developing a sustainable greenhouse system that: does not need any fossil energy & minimizes carbon footprint of equipment; with no waste of water nor emission of fertilizers and full recycling of the substrate; with minimal need of plant protective chemicals yet with high productivity and resource use efficiency. Three commodity-based work packages (WP ...
