Personalised public services in support of the implementation of the CAP (RECAP)

Start date: May 1, 2016, End date: Oct 31, 2018,

Public administrations responsible for the implementation of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) need to monitor farmers’ compliance to standards. Monitoring is performed by in-field visits and through remote sensing. Due to the high complexity and diversity of the obligations that need to be monitored, both methods have limitations, and entail a high cost for public administrations. RECAP propos ...

Training rural farmers in the use of mobile applications for agricultural activities

Start date: Sep 1, 2015, End date: Aug 31, 2018,

The acquisition of basic digital skills has been identified as one of the principal adults´ training needs to acquire to match the requirements of today´s changing labour markets. This is important particularly in rural areas where the spread of ICT has been lower than in urban areas, therefore rural citizens find more difficulties in order to access ICT training. There are many mobile application ...

DEMONSTRATION OF SUSTAINABLE ALTERNATIVES TO CHEMICAL PRODUCTS FOR EUROPEAN CROP PROTECTION (AGROINTEGRA) (LIFEAGROINTEGRA)

Start date: Jul 1, 2014, End date: Jun 30, 2017,

Background The predominant model of crop protection in Europe is based on chemical control of pests, diseases and weeds. This model has high environmental risks. The use of chemical pesticides impacts on fauna and flora beyond the targeted pests. Bad practices in relation to the application of chemicals on crops also increases this negative impact, and le ...

Fixation of atmospheric CO2 and reduction of greenhouse emissions by sustainable management of irrigation agriculture (LIFE RegaDIOX)

Start date: Jul 1, 2013, End date: Dec 31, 2016,

Background Agriculture is responsible for 20% of total greenhouse gas emissions, without even considering associated energy consumption. These emissions originate mainly from the fermentation and oxidation of organic matter and nitrogenised compounds. However, levels can vary significantly depending on the agricultural techniques used. The introduction ...

Farm Level Indicators for New Topics in Policy Evaluation (FLINT)

Start date: Jan 1, 2014, End date: Dec 31, 2016,

"FLINT defines Farm Level Indicators to improve the policy evaluation on (amongst others) cross compliance, sustainability and innovation in the CAP. The data collection on these indicators has ideally to be linked to the current Farm Accountancy Data Network in which data on costs of production and incomes are collected on 75.000 farms over the EU-27, but alternatives will be explored. In the pr ...

Regenerative agricultural practices: demonstration of an alternative sustainable management of agrarian soils (LIFE REGEN FARMING)

Start date: Jul 1, 2013, End date: Dec 30, 2016,

Background Soil performs vital ecological, social and economic services for society. Its importance for the production of food, fibre and wood has been long recognised, as has its role as a surface for housing and infrastructure development. However, it is now recognised that soil also filters and buffers contaminants, allowing us to have clean drinking w ...
