New technology and strategy for a large and sustainable deployment of second generation biofuel in rural areas (BABET-REAL5)

Start date: Feb 1, 2016, End date: Jan 31, 2020,

The business model currently under development for second generation ethanol is a replication of the model used for first generation which is plants with massive annual production capacities. Such high production rates require high capital investment and huge amounts of biomasses (250-350,000 tons per year) concentrated in small radius catchment areas to afford transportation costs (50 km).

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 ...

Indicators for biodiversity in organic and low-input farming systems (BioBio)

Start date: Mar 1, 2009, End date: Aug 31, 2012,

Organic and low-input farming systems have been shown to benefit farmland biodiversity although a generic indicator system to assess these benefits at the European level is lacking. The BIOBIO project will therefore pursue the following objectives: 1. Conceptualization of criteria for a scientifically-based selection of biodiversity indicators for organic/low-input farming systems; 2. Assessment ...
