Legal aspects of novel contract solutions to foster the provision of agri-environmental and climate public goods and services
This practice abstract has been prepared with the aim of making available in a nutshell the wide array of issues related to voluntary contracts. It is addressed to practitioners, including farmers and forest owners, interested or involved in the design and management of contract solutions directed to the provision of environmental goods and services. Particular focus is placed on result-based and collective contract solutions, both being relatively novel approaches eligible for EU co-funding. Another contract type looked at is the land tenure contract with environmental clauses. The fourth contract type is the value-chain contract where the business partners agree on additional environmental or climate requirements going beyond legal standards.

NANOCELLULOSE MEMBRANES FOR NUTRIENT RECOVERY
This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation program under Grant Agreement No 858735This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation program under Grant Agreement No 858735. FACTSHEET NANOCELLULOSE MEMBRANES FOR NUTRIENT RECOVERY Key information Functionalized nanocellulose membranes can take up nitrate and phosphate. These membranes can be put in a water treatment unit. As the membranes are biobased, degradable materials, they can after use be added to the soil, thus returning the leached nutrients back for their original purpose providing fertilizers (nutrient recycling).

Final Report on Cross Visits
It summarises the reports from all Cross Visits. During the Cross Visits the AgriSpin team gradually learned how to capture what really matters in the cases that were visited. It is important that the characteristics in the overview are helpful for: ● deepening the understanding of the individual cases and the effect of particular innovation support actions; ● making comparisons between cases, even though they represent different sectors and cover different types of innovation.
