En esta tercera edición de la newsletter se han recopilado noticias como la de que el sector de la trufa española camina hacia la consolidación y apuesta por la creación de una marca nacional para conquistar los mercados internacionales. Otra noticia ha sido sobre la exigencia de los consumidores de sostenibilidad y una marca nacional que aglutine la oferta. Se ha reseñado el éxito de la lonja de trufa negra fresca de Bejar (Soria). Como siempre, un repaso a la repercusión del GO en los medios. Ha habido una mención a la feria de la trufa negra en Burgos. Se han puesto en una noticia los nombres de los ganadores del concurso de video recetas. En otros evevntos, ha habido un seminario empresarial enfocado al ordenamiento, fiscalidad y comercialización en Solsona, Cataluña. Se ha finalizado avanzando los eventos del último trimestre del 2024 con el catálogo de trufiturismo, seminarios, paneles de cata, mercados piloto y cenas marinadas.

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.

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).
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.
