SOS Aquae: More efficient carbon and nitrogen agrosystems with biogas
Reducing agricultural emissions through biogas and sustainable practices in Italy
or
Detail description
Biogas done right: 10 "FARMING FOR FUTURE” actions for the agroecological transition. In particular, the aim is a greater stock efficency of C and N into the soils and a lower GHG and N emissions in the atmosphere linked to the digestate use in agriculture. Ecological practices (minimum soil tillage, innovative low-emission systems for the distribution of digestate) to reduce the use of synthetic fertilizers and increase the supply of organic matter in the soils.
The "FARMING FOR FUTURE" actions for the agroecological transition are the follow:
- Renewable energy in agriculture, replace fossil fuels with renewable energy sources to reduce pollution and emissions;
- Agriculture 4.0, adopt advanced agricultural techniques and farming to optimize the use of nutrients;
- Livestock manure management,use livestock manure and agricultural by-product to reduce emissions and produce renewable bioenergy
- Organic fertilization, using digestate to guarantee the return of nutrients into the soil and reduce the chemical input;
- Innovative agricultural processes, adopt agronomic techniques (e.g., minimum tillage, no-tillage, organic fertilization) to reduce emissions into the atmosphere;
- Quality and animal welfare, implement agricultural and farm techniques to improve quality and animal welfare.
- Increase in soil fertility, adopt double crops to increase carbon sequestration and soil fertility;
- Agroforestry, integrate woody crops to increase photosynthesis and organic matter into the soil;
- Production and utilisation of biomaterials, using biological, natural and renewable materials
- Biogas and other renewable gas, produce methane and hydrogen from agricultural biogas.
