Quantification of ecological services for sustainable agriculture (QUESSA)
Start date: Feb 1, 2013, End date: Jan 31, 2017,
"The project aims to identify the key semi-natural habitats (SNH), outside and within crops, providing essential ecological services (ES). Vegetation traits will be linked to potential ES provision, case studies will measure actual ES levels and inform models which will show unused opportunities and trade-offs among ES by SNH from habitat to landscape scale. This will be achieved for a range of re ...

Optimising Subsidiary Crop Applications in Rotations (OSCAR)
Start date: Apr 1, 2012, End date: Mar 31, 2016,
There is a need to improve sustainability in farming systems particularly through soil care and improvement, but not at the expense of productivity. One approach is to focus on a comprehensive advance in conservation tillage. This will be developed from improved ways of integrating subsidiary crops (SC) as living or dead mulches or cover crops with the main crops in rotations so as to simultaneous ...

Strategies for Organic and Low-input Integrated Breeding And Management (SOLIBAM)
Start date: Mar 1, 2010, End date: Aug 31, 2014,
SOLIBAM will develop specific and novel breeding approaches integrated with management practices to improve the performance, quality, sustainability and stability of crops adapted to organic and low-input systems, in their diversity in Europe and taking into account small-scale farms in Africa. SOLIBAM will: 1. Identify traits specific for adaptation to low-input/organic conditions over a wide ran ...
