A feasible step-by-step plan with practical guidelines and concrete designs to enable the application of agroforestry on farms
In this Operational Group; an step-by-step plan was developed to promote agroforestry integration on farms. Agroforestry offers a resilient and sustainable agricultural system; reducing production risks; enhancing ecological value; and increasing biodiversity. Agroforestry optimizes nutrient and water use; soil organic matter building; reduces fertilizer and pesticide usage; and maximizes land utilization.

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).
