TRADITOM: Traditional tomato food workshop
The organization of different tomato workshops/dissemination activities on traditional tomatoes, their diversity and properties, their use in cooking and properties, or good eating habits, as well as on special culinary uses of traditional tomatoes is one of the main objectives of WP9 (dissemination, exploitation, training, and demonstration). Preliminary meetings between chefs from Alícia Foundation (www.alicia.cat/en) and scientists of the TRADITOM project enabled identification of phenotypic traits of greatest relevance for selecting the gastronomically most interesting varieties from the TRADITOM repository. Data collected during the phenotyping trials was used to select a panel of 92 genotypes (GOURMETOM collection) that fitted with the descriptions proposed by chefs, and representatives of the range of variation for fruit color, shape and quality traits. Based on these results, a workshop was organized in July 2017 in Sant Fruitós del Bages (Catalonia). The aim of the workshop was, apart from disseminating and enhancing the use of traditional tomato varieties for a healthy diet, to explore new potentiality for the use of traditional tomatoes in high added-value cuisine. The participation of widely reputed professional chefs from the Alícia Foundation (which is a centre with a social vocation devoted to technological innovation in cuisine, the improvement of eating habits and the valorization of the food heritage) has been of paramount importance for the success and outreach of the workshops.

A Bio-inspired Multilayer Drainage System
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
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
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.
