Los embutidos son de los alimentos que más grasas aportan a la dieta de los consumidores en España. Por lo tanto, en este contexto, la industria cárnica que produce embutidos está llamada a desarrollar un papel muy importante proporcionando a los consumidores alimentos más saludables un mejor perfil nutricional (Nehir y Simsek, 2012). Por lo tanto, modificar la composición de algunas materias primas de la selección genética y/o alimentación del animal puede ser una línea interesante para obtener alimentos saludables. Lograr este hito sin disminuir la calidad sensorial de los alimentos es un reto adicional, ya que, en última instancia, influye en su aceptación y puede condicionar el éxito posterior en el mercado de productos. Además de la mejora nutricional, otra preocupación es la sostenibilidad y la mejora del medio ambiente. Por esta razón, el proyecto también se ha centrado en la evaluación del perfil ambiental de 3 tipos de piensos utilizados como alimento en granjas de engorde, con el fin de obtener piensos de calidad minimizando los impactos ambientales.

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.
