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.

The olive oil sector is mostly located in the Mediterranean area. Its value chain starts in the olive grove, where olives are obtained. Then, olives are milled to extract the olive oil. Along the value chain, several by-products are generated such as pruning waste, olive pits, leaves and pomace.

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).

The EU is the first producer, consumer, exporter and importer of wine in the world. The winery industry generates by-products (spent grape pomace, pruning waste) that can be valorised into high-end products. They include products as fertilizers that could be used in the same industry, closing the loop.

The production of vegetables is not always easy dueto weather variability or soil availability. To tackle these barriers, producers often resort to greenhousesas a solution. In addition to being a stable alternative to outdoor cultivation, greenhouses can be very sustainable systems if resources are used responsibly. Innovation facilitates in many ways the efficient use of resources.

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.
