COREnet_Short Food Supply Chain (SFSC) Advisory Digital Database

Deliverable 2.4 takes the form of a ‘dedicated web page listing SFSC advisors and advisory organisations identified for continuous updating’ (COREnet Grant Agreement, Part B, p. 20). The webpage, developed by partner 6 (ICONS) is available here in the Knowledge Hub’ section of the COREnet website. This document presents a short overview of the processes used to develop the content for the dedicated web page, which lists SFSC advisors and advisory organisations. The overarching principle for the identification of advisors is to be as inclusive in the first scouting phase of T2.4, to provide scope for engaging further with advisors to learn more about their activities; and to enable the mobilisation of a comprehensive COREnet network of advisors, over the course of the project, to develop their skills and competencies in advising SFSCs. This deliverable presents an initial list of the advisors who have formally enlisted with the COREnet project to date, becoming part of its advisory network. It is important to note, however, as stated in the Grant Agreement, the formal enlisting of advisors with the COREnet project is an ongoing process and will continue throughout the project. A greater number of advisors and advisory organisations than is currently listed in D2.4 have been identified by COREnet, and their formal registration (adhering to data protection and data management protocols) is continuously in process. The D2.4 dedicated web page listing SFSC advisors and advisory organisations will be periodically updated as new advisors are identified by and formally join the COREnet network.

A Bio-inspired Multilayer Drainage System

Document

Agricultural run-off and subsurface drainage tiles transport a significant amount of nitrogen and phosphorus leached after fertilization. alchemia-nova GmbH in collaboration with University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences, Vienna developed two multi-layer vertical filter systems to address the agricultural run-off issue, which has been installed on the slope of an agricultural field in Mistelbach, Austria. While another multi-layer addressing subsurface drainage water is implemented in Gleisdorf, Austria. The goal is to develop a drainage filter system to retain water and nutrients. Both multi-layer filter systems contain biochar and other substrates with adsorption properties of nutrients (nitrogen, phosphorus). The filter system can be of practical use if an excess of nutrients being washed out is of concern in the fields of the practitioner by keeping the surrounding waters clean. This approach may result in economic value by re-using the saturated biochar as fertilizer and improving the soil structure, thus increasing long-term soil fertility.

NANOCELLULOSE MEMBRANES FOR NUTRIENT RECOVERY

Document

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).

Environmental monitoring within greenhouse crops using wireless sensors

Document

Because variables such as temperature and humidity have a profound effect on the activity of crop pests, diseases and natural enemies, the ability to monitor environmental conditions within a crop has always been important for crop protection.
