LEGATO - Land-use intensity and Ecological Engineering – Assessment Tools for risks and Opportunities in irrigated rice based production systems (Collaborative project)
The project aims to advance long-term sustainable development of irrigated rice fields, against risks arising from multiple aspects of global change. The overall objective is the elaboration and testing of generally applicable principles within the frame of ecological engineering – an emerging discipline, concerned with design, monitoring and construction of ecosystems. The project plans to...

SUSMILK - Re-design of the dairy industry for sustainable milk processing (Collaborative project)
Industrial food production serves to satisfy basic human needs and the dairy industry accounts with 13% turnover for the total food and drink industry in Europe. The aim of the project SUSMILK is to initialise a system change within the whole process chain for market milk and milk products to minimise energy and water consumption and establish renewable energy resources. Milk processing is...

LEGUME-FUTURES - Legume-supported cropping systems for Europe (Collaborative project)
Legumes have historically played an important role in European agriculture, generating critically important inputs of nitrogen to support crop growth, providing high quality pulses for human consumption and feed for livestock in the form of forage and feed grain legumes. Grain legumes are now grown on only 1.8% of arable land in Europe compared with 4.6% fifty years ago. On the forage side,...

TREEBREEDEX: a working model network of tree improvement for competitive, multifunctional and sustainable European forestry (Collaborative project)
Through creation of improved varieties, forest tree breeders have largely participated to the improvement and the sustainability of cultivated forests in Europe. Over decades, they have built up huge collections of trees for most economical species and vast networks of experimental trials. As well, they have continuously developed original methodology in genetics and in related sciences to...

FutMon - Further Development and Implementation of an EU-level Forest Monitoring System (Collaborative project)
The FutMon project built on and took forward the work of the ICP Forests and NFIs in monitoring forests on the ecosystem scale as well as at large scale. The main European added value of the project was the continuation of data collection, the establishment of a large-scale grid for forest assessment, and increased harmonisation and standardisation amongst different forest-monitoring bodies....

IMPAC3 - Novel genotypes for mixed cropping allow for IMProved sustainable land use ACross arable land, grassland and woodland (Collaborative project)
Plant breeding innovations and their utilization in cropping systems is seen as a major pathway to a sustainable intensification of plant production. Increasing crop diversity in mixed cropping systems has the potential to enhance production while maintaining or reducing resource consumption. This proposal aims to combine these two approaches, breeding and diversity. Novel genotypes, provided by...

SOLID - Sustainable Organic and Low-input Dairying (Collaborative project)
Organic and low-input dairy farming systems are increasingly noted as delivering multifunctional benefits to the agricultural industry and society but technical and economic constraints prevent widespread adoption. SOLID will deliver an innovative toolbox of novel methodologies that will contribute to the competitiveness of the dairy industry and increase the effectiveness with which these...

FOCAS - Food, Convenience and Sustainability (Collaborative project)
The project takes a ‘theories of practice’ approach, examining the largely taken-for-granted, routine and socially embedded character of food-related consumer behaviour. Rather than adopting a deficit model (where consumers are assumed to lack the relevant knowledge or skills on which to make informed choices), the project seeks to understand the different stocks of knowledge which consumers use...
