Innovative research for sustainable fertiliser production and nutrient management

Fertilisers play a fundamental role in food security. Their production and cost is largely dependent on the availability of natural gas, and following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the world faces a fertiliser crisis that is driving up food prices. This Results Pack on Fertilisers highlights 13 EU-funded research projects that can help alleviate the pressures placed on farmers and consumers, through the innovative synthesis, use and recapture of fertilisers and improved nutrient management.

While humans have been practising agriculture for more than 10 000 years, it was revolutionised a century ago by the innovation of synthetic chemical fertilisers. Today, those transformative inputs are under threat, demanding a new agricultural revolution.

In November 2022, the European Commission presented a https://agriculture.ec.europa.eu/common-agricultural-policy/agri-food-supply-chain/ensuring-availability-and-affordability-fertilisers_en (Communication on ensuring availability and affordability of fertilisers), highlighting the need to reinforce the overall resilience and sustainability of our food systems.

Research and innovation carried out through Horizon 2020 and its successor Horizon Europe are key drivers in reducing the dependency on fertiliser imports, improving the efficiency of fertiliser use and reducing nutrient losses, thereby ensuring soil fertility and food affordability.

By creating healthy soils rich in organic matter and biodiversity, optimising the efficiency of fertiliser use and enhancing the recovery of nutrients from nutrient-rich side streams such as from manure, food waste or sewage sludge, European farmers can produce healthier crops and higher yields while reducing impact and increasing resilience to climate change.

In addition, crop-livestock integration, more environmentally friendly methods of fertiliser production (including the use of green hydrogen), crop diversification and agroecological plant breeds are helping to reduce the EU’s dependency on mineral and fossil fertilisers. Market-based solutions are also crucial to a more sustainable agricultural system, such as the 2019 https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/reg/2019/1009/oj (EU fertilising products regulation) that introduced a single market in organic fertiliser, facilitating trade between EU Member States.

Yet improved nutrient management is about more than defending our agricultural system. In step with the https://commission.europa.eu/strategy-and-policy/priorities-2019-2024/european-green-deal_en (European Green Deal), the https://agriculture.ec.europa.eu/common-agricultural-policy/cap-overview/cap-2023-27_en (new common agricultural policy) includes activities to reduce emissions from fertiliser use as part of overall action on climate change. Reducing fertiliser use also ties into the https://ec.europa.eu/commission/presscorner/detail/en/ip_22_1963 (Communication on safeguarding food security) adopted in March 2022, the https://food.ec.europa.eu/horizontal-topics/farm-fork-strategy_en (Farm to Fork strategy), the https://ec.europa.eu/commission/presscorner/detail/en/IP_22_3131 (REPowerEU) initiative on energy independence, and the goals of the EU Action Plan:  https://environment.ec.europa.eu/strategy/zero-pollution-action-plan_en (‘Towards Zero Pollution for Air, Water and Soil’).

        Research and innovation for transition towards healthy soils and sustainable soil management is supported by the EU Mission https://rea.ec.europa.eu/funding-and-grants/eu-mission-soil-deal-europe_en (A Soil Deal for Europe’). The https://ec.europa.eu/eip/agriculture/en/european-innovation-partnership-agricultural  (European Innovation Partnership for agricultural sustainability) (EIP-AGRI) promotes innovation, knowledge exchange, education and training to ensure farm resilience and competitiveness.

        EU-funded research and innovation is accelerating Europe’s transition towards sustainable, resilient, circular and competitive farming systems.

        The 13 projects in this Results Pack on Fertilisers cover a range of approaches. Several examine how manure can be efficiently recycled as fertiliser, including https://cordis.europa.eu/article/id/443163 (Sustainable Manure) and its successor https://cordis.europa.eu/article/id/443161 (SmartNitroFarm), as well as https://cordis.europa.eu/article/id/443164 (Treat2ReUse). Others look at how to produce fertilisers from alternative sources, such as digestate https://cordis.europa.eu/article/id/443157 (NOMAD), bacteria mining https://cordis.europa.eu/article/id/443153 (BioRevolution), algae https://cordis.europa.eu/article/id/443155 (Cyanobacteria) and wastewater from slaughterhouses https://cordis.europa.eu/article/id/442075 (Water2REturn) and farms https://cordis.europa.eu/article/id/443159 (PSust-MOF). The need to understand and manage nutrient cycles and soil health is addressed by https://cordis.europa.eu/article/id/443160 (SENSOILS), https://cordis.europa.eu/article/id/443154 (Circular Agronomics), https://cordis.europa.eu/article/id/443158 (Nutri2Cycle) and https://cordis.europa.eu/article/id/443156 (NitroFixSal), while https://cordis.europa.eu/article/id/443162 (SolACE) investigates new crop varieties.

Condivisione delle conoscenze tra frutticoltori europei che praticano l’agricoltura biologica

L’agricoltura biologica è sempre più diffusa, ma le conoscenze specialistiche in materia spesso non superano i confini nazionali. Il progetto BIOFRUITNET, finanziato dall’UE, si è impegnato ad aggirare questo limite.

https://cordis.europa.eu/article/id/87436-an-eu-view-of-organic-farming/it (L’agricoltura biologica) è in rapida crescita in Europa, ma nel 2020 solo il 9,1 % dei terreni coltivati dell’UE era dedicato a questo tipo di produzione. Nell’ambito del Green Deal europeo, la strategia «Dal produttore al consumatore» si è posta l’obiettivo di https://agriculture.ec.europa.eu/farming/organic-farming/organic-action-plan_it (destinare il 25 % della superficie agricola dell’UE alle coltivazioni biologiche entro il 2030).

L’agricoltura biologica è complessa e impegnativa dal punto di vista tecnico, e pone gli agricoltori di fronte a una serie di difficoltà non affrontabili con soluzioni tradizionali, come la gestione del suolo e della fertilizzazione o la protezione delle colture. Molti di coloro che praticano l’agricoltura biologica in Europa hanno sviluppato le proprie strategie agroecologiche per migliorare la salute delle piante e ottimizzare la coltivazione. Eppure, gran parte di queste conoscenze non trova ampia diffusione, in parte a causa delle barriere linguistiche e geografiche.

«In Europa esiste già una cultura per lo scambio di informazioni tramite reti di condivisione delle conoscenze istituite in modo formale o informale», afferma Sophie Egerer di https://www.naturland.de/it/ (Naturland), associazione coordinatrice del progetto https://biofruitnet.eu/it/ (BIOFRUITNET) (Boosting Innovation in Organic FRUIT production through strong knowledge NETworks). «Tuttavia, tali reti sono attive principalmente a livello locale, e le informazioni sulle conoscenze pratiche esistenti, in particolare, attraversano a malapena i confini regionali o nazionali.»

Il progetto BIOFRUITNET, finanziato dall’UE, si è proposto di superare questo problema di comunicazione attraverso la creazione di una rete di conoscenze, sia online che fisica, che permettesse di raccogliere informazioni locali e scientifiche sulla frutticoltura biologica e condividerle in tutta l’UE nelle lingue locali.

«BIOFRUITNET ha concorso a una maggiore accessibilità delle conoscenze sull’agricoltura biologica per gli agricoltori di tutta Europa, un contribuito considerato importante per promuovere la transizione verso un’UE più verde», osserva Egerer.

Identificare le conoscenze agricole esistenti

Il team di BIOFRUITNET ha prima di tutto svolto un sondaggio tra agricoltori, consulenti e associazioni del settore, per chiarire il quadro delle reti di scambio di informazioni esistenti nell’UE e nei paesi limitrofi.

Un secondo sondaggio, che ha coinvolto circa 250 agricoltori e consulenti in 12 paesi dell’Unione, ha aiutato i ricercatori a identificare e stabilire le malattie e i parassiti più temuti nei frutteti biologici. L’indagine ha inoltre svelato il livello di adozione delle pratiche gestionali dei frutteti idonee per l’agricoltura biologica, in particolare quelle relative alla scelta delle varietà, alla fertilizzazione, alla biodiversità funzionale e alla protezione delle colture.

«Siamo riusciti a ottenere un quadro aggiornato e accurato delle sfide affrontate dagli agricoltori che praticano l’agricoltura biologica in tutta Europa e a identificare gli ambiti in cui BIOFRUITNET potrebbe essere di maggiore aiuto per loro», aggiunge Egerer.

Successivamente il team ha svolto una revisione della letteratura scientifica e «grigia» esistente in materia e ha approntato una vasta gamma di materiali di comunicazione che mirano al superamento delle barriere linguistiche. Questi sono ora disponibili in dieci lingue e includono trenta video tecnici brevi, cento abstract pratici, cinque podcast e tre corsi di e-learning, ognuno composto da quattro o cinque moduli della durata di circa mezz’ora.

La rete europea di conoscenze sul biologico cresce

I nuovi materiali di conoscenza predisposti da BIOFRUITNET offrono una base formativa solida relativa alla coltivazione di frutta con metodo biologico, mentre le reti di comunicazione permetteranno una maggiore condivisione diretta di conoscenze tra i frutticoltori europei del settore biologico.

«Il complesso di reti di conoscenze europee nasce per preservare il trasferimento di competenze nel futuro e svilupparlo ulteriormente», afferma Egerer.

L’insieme di reti di conoscenze mira anche a garantire il proseguimento delle attività di BIOFRUITNET dopo la sua conclusione.

Considerata l’espansione del progetto oltre i confini europei e l’integrazione di reti di conoscenze di paesi terzi in Europa e nel Mediterraneo, il suo impatto contribuirebbe ad ampliare la transizione verso un’agricoltura più sostenibile. Egerer conclude: «In alcuni di questi paesi la produzione di frutta biologica è ancora agli albori, perciò le potenzialità di una transizione verso l’agricoltura biologica sono enormi.»

Förderung der transnationalen Forschung im ökologischen Landbau

Das EU-finanzierte Projekt CORE Organic Cofund ist ein Netzwerk von europäischen Ministerien und Forschungsräten, das sich der Finanzierung von Forschung im Bereich der biologischen Landwirtschaft und ökologischer Anbausysteme widmet.

Einer der am besten definierten Wege zu einer nachhaltigen Landwirtschaft und Lebensmittelproduktion ist der ökologische Landbau. „Durch den Verzicht auf Pflanzenschutzmittel und durch die Verwendung einer größeren Pflanzenvielfalt kann die biologische Landwirtschaft die Bodengesundheit verbessern, die Umweltverschmutzung verringern und die biologische Vielfalt fördern, was ihn zu einer nachhaltigen Alternative in der Lebensmittelproduktion macht“, erklärt Ivana Trkulja, Koordinatorin von https://www.coreorganic.org/ (CORE Organic) am https://icrofs.dk/en/ (Internationalen Zentrum für die Forschung zu ökologischen Lebensmittelsystemen).

Um jedoch wirklich von den Vorteilen des ökologischen Landbaus profitieren zu können, muss er in großem Maßstab umgesetzt werden. „Zusammen mit den einzelnen Biobetrieben, die wir haben, müssen wir ein Ökosystem der biologischen Landwirtschaft aufbauen“, sagt Trkulja.

Hilfe beim Aufbau eines solchen Ökosystems bietet das EU-finanzierte Projekt https://projects.au.dk/coreorganiccofund/ (CORE Organic Cofund) (Coordination of European Transnational Research in Organic Food and Farming Systems Cofund).

Das EU-finanzierte Projekt CORE Organic Cofund wurde 2004 ins Leben gerufen. Es ist ein Netzwerk von europäischen Ministerien und Forschungsräten, das sich der Finanzierung von Forschung im Bereich ökologischer Lebensmittel- und Anbausysteme widmet. „Durch die Bündelung der Kräfte zwischen Organisationen und Mitgliedstaaten können wir transnationale Forschungsprojekte, die sich mit einigen der wichtigsten Herausforderungen entlang der ökologischen Wertschöpfungskette befassen, besser unterstützen“, fügt Trkulja hinzu.

In den vergangenen 18 Jahren wurden im Rahmen des Programms acht transnationale Aufforderungen zur Einreichung von Vorschlägen durchgeführt und 62 Forschungsprojekte mit 61,9 Mio. EUR gefördert. An diesen Aufrufen haben sich Forschende aus allen Partnerländern beteiligt, darunter kleinere Länder und Länder Osteuropas. Die Aufforderungen betrafen agrarökologische Themen wie Tierkrankheiten, Anbausysteme, gemischte Tier- und Pflanzenproduktion, Futtermittel, ökologische Lebensmittelverarbeitung sowie kreislauforientierte und abfallfreie Lebensmittelsysteme.

„CORE Organic hat eine nachweisliche Erfolgsbilanz beim Aufbau von Kapazitäten und Kompetenzen in der ökologischen Forschung“, so Trkulja. „Infolge dieser finanzierten Projekte ist in Europa nicht nur das Interesse am ökologischen Landbau gestiegen, sondern er wird auch als zentraler Faktor für ein nachhaltiges, klimaresistentes und zirkuläres Lebensmittelsystem angesehen.“

Während der Durchführung von CORE Organic Cofund startete das Netzwerk drei länderübergreifende Forschungsaufrufe. Nach einem https://projects.au.dk/coreorganiccofund/core-organic-cofund-projects (unabhängigen Aufruf im Jahr 2016) arbeitete das Netzwerk mit dem https://susfood-db-era.net/main/ (SUSFOOD2 Cofund) zusammen, um in 2019 einen https://projects.au.dk/coreorganiccofund/joint-call-with-susfood2-2019 (Aufruf zu nachhaltigen und ökologischen Lebensmittelsystemen) zu starten. Die mit der Aufforderung von 2019 eingeführte Integration des Systemdenkens wurde durch eine https://projects.au.dk/coreorganiccofund/2021-call-projects (Aufforderung von 2021 über ökologische Anbausysteme für eine verbesserte gemischte Pflanzen- und Tierproduktion) weiter vorangetrieben.

Insgesamt waren in der Kofinanzierungsphase 29 Förderorganisationen aus 21 Ländern/Regionen an der Unterstützung von 29 Projekten beteiligt.

Auch nach mehr als anderthalb Jahrzehnten anhaltendem Erfolg ist Trkulja der Überzeugung, dass CORE Organic erst am Anfang steht. „Es müssen nach wie vor Herausforderungen angegangen werden, insbesondere im Hinblick auf das ehrgeizige Ziel des https://ec.europa.eu/info/strategy/priorities-2019-2024/european-green-deal_en (europäischen Grünen Deals), bis 2030 ein Viertel der landwirtschaftlichen Flächen in der EU ökologisch zu bewirtschaften.“

Zu diesem Zweck konzentriert sich https://projects.au.dk/coreorganicpleiades/about (CORE Organic Pleiades) – die im September 2022 gestartete Programmphase unter dem Dach des EU-finanzierten Projekts https://cordis.europa.eu/project/id/101060368/de (OrganicTargets4EU) – voll und ganz darauf, zu verstehen, wie sich die Ziele des Grünen Deals auf die biologische Landwirtschaft auswirken.

In der Zwischenzeit hält CORE Organic an seiner Aufgabe fest, die Forschungsinvestitionen zu koordinieren, die notwendig sind, um weitere Innovationen im Sektor der ökologischen Landwirtschaft zu ermöglichen. „Das Netzwerk von CORE Organic hat für die dringend benötigte Kontinuität gesorgt“, fasst Trkulja zusammen. „Dadurch wird sichergestellt, dass die Finanzierung eine nachhaltige Wirkung besitzt und dass die Bio-Forschungsgemeinschaft gut aufgestellt ist, um aktuelle und neue Herausforderungen zu meistern.“

Agrarökologie: Erforschung widerstandsfähiger, nachhaltiger, klima-, ökosystem- und sozialverträglicher Landwirtschaftssysteme

Die Europäische Union (EU) hat sich ehrgeizige Ziele für den Agrarsektor gesetzt. Die landwirtschaftlichen Betriebe in Europa müssen nicht nur eine zuverlässige Versorgung mit qualitativ hochwertigen Lebensmitteln – Obst, Gemüse, Nüsse, Getreide und tierische Erzeugnisse – und Nichtlebensmitteln zu wettbewerbsfähigen Preisen gewährleisten, sondern auch die Umweltverpflichtungen des europäischen Grünen Deals und der Strategie „Vom Hof auf den Tisch“ erfüllen.

Ausstieg aus umstrittenen Betriebsmitteln in der ökologischen – und konventionellen – Landwirtschaft

Die Umstellung auf weniger schädliche Agrochemikalien ist entscheidend für eine nachhaltige landwirtschaftliche Produktion und ein stärkeres Vertrauen der Verbraucherinnen und Verbraucher. Das EU-finanzierte Projekt Organic-PLUS hat praktikable Alternativen zu problematischen Betriebsmitteln aufgezeigt und den landwirtschaftlichen Betrieben einen Fahrplan für deren Einsatz an die Hand gegeben.

Obwohl sich die EU https://agriculture.ec.europa.eu/farming/organic-farming/organic-action-plan_en (verpflichtet) hat, bis 2030 ein Viertel der landwirtschaftlichen Nutzflächen ökologisch zu bewirtschaften, bestehen in diesem Sektor nach wie vor einige Herausforderungen. Die oberste Priorität für den Biosektor besteht darin, bestimmte umstrittene Betriebsmittel wie etwa Pestizide auf Mineralölbasis oder https://cordis.europa.eu/article/id/151480-strategies-to-reduce-copper-in-pesticides/de (Kupfer) durch nachhaltige und kostengünstige Alternativen zu ersetzen.

Das Projekt https://organic-plus.net/ (Organic-PLUS) (Pathways to phase-out contentious inputs from organic agriculture in Europe) hatte zum Ziel, Landwirtinnen und Landwirten sowie politisch Verantwortlichen gangbare Wege für die Abschaffung oder den Ersatz umstrittener Hilfssmittel aufzuzeigen.

„Wir stützten uns auf Ideen der Agrarökologie und der ökologischen Ökonomie, um verschiedene Ausstiegsszenarien zu untersuchen“, erklärt der Koordinator des Projekts Organic-PLUS, Ulrich Schmutz, Professor an der https://www.coventry.ac.uk/ (Universität Coventry) im Vereinigten Königreich. „Wir wollten die Herausforderungen offen ansprechen und alle Beteiligten mit ins Boot holen.“

Das Projekt begann mit der Bewertung umstrittener Betriebsmittel, die derzeit in der europäischen Landwirtschaft zum Einsatz kommen. Dazu wurden Sachverständigen-Interviews mit konventionellen und ökologischen Landwirtschaftsbetrieben, Zertifizierungsstellen sowie Öko-Lieferanten und -Herstellern in Europa geführt. Der Schwerpunkt lag dabei auf den Mittelmeerländern.

Das Projektteam wollte außerdem herausfinden, wie die Verbrauchenden die Probleme einordnen, und führte eine groß angelegte, repräsentative Verbrauchsumfrage durch.

Mögliche Alternativen wurden bewertet und Versuche durchgeführt, um derartige potenzielle Ausweichlösungen zu testen. Anschließend nahm das Projektteam eine ökologische, soziale und wirtschaftliche Evaluierung aller möglichen Ausstiegsszenarien vor.

„In dieser Hinsicht ergänzte Organic-PLUS andere EU-finanzierte Projekte wie RELACS“, so Schmutz. „Die Verwendung von Kupfer im Pflanzenschutz stellt ein großes Problem dar, und jede Kultur ist anders. Daher konnten bei jedem Projekt verschiedene Kulturen untersucht werden, um ein umfassenderes Bild zu vermitteln. Das Gleiche gilt für andere umstrittene Hilfsmittel.“

Wege zu einer nachhaltigeren Landwirtschaft

Im Rahmen dieser Arbeit wurde eine Reihe von Ausstiegspfaden ermittelt. Das Projekt geht beispielsweise davon aus, dass der Einsatz von Kupfer als Fungizid bis 2027 von jährlich 4 kg/ha auf 2 kg/ha verringert werden könnte, während zukunftsfähige Alternativen wie Pflanzenöl auf dem Markt erscheinen.

„Dieses Thema beschäftigt den Biosektor seit über 30 Jahren“, sagt Schmutz. „Ich freue mich, dass es einen Lichtblick gibt. Wir benötigen jedoch weiterhin politische Unterstützung für alternative Behandlungsmethoden.“

Mineralöle für den Pflanzenschutz könnten hingegen sofort aus dem Verkehr gezogen werden, da Alternativen problemlos verfügbar sind.

Eine weitere wichtige Erkenntnis ist, dass aus fossilen Brennstoffen gewonnener Kunststoffmulch bis 2030 beseitigt werden könnte. Zwar gibt es alternative biologisch abbaubare Biokunststoffe, doch müssen diese im Rahmen von weiteren angewandten Innovationsmaßnahmen gründlicher erforscht werden.

Torf bildete ein weiteres strittiges Thema, mit dem sich das Projekt befasste. Torfmoore entstehen durch die Zersetzung von Moorpflanzen und stellen daher hervorragende Kohlenstoffsenken dar. Die Entwässerung, die Verpflanzung und die Verwendung von Torf als organischer Bodendünger wurden als äußerst problematisch eingestuft.

„Der gesetzlich vereinbarte Ausstieg aus der Verwendung von Torf als Gartenbau-Kultursubstrat im Vereinigten Königreich ist ein gutes Beispiel dafür, wie unsere Forschung zu nachhaltigen Alternativen hinsichtlich umstrittener Betriebsmittel beitragen kann“, stellt Schmutz fest. „Wer zuerst aussteigt, wird einen Wettbewerbsvorteil in der Bioökonomie haben, ohne Torf abbauen und Torfgebiete wiederherstellen zu müssen.“

Das Einstellen der Antibiotika-Verwendung in der Tierproduktion wurde als große Herausforderung anerkannt, die nur durch eine erhebliche Umgestaltung der derzeitigen intensiven ökologischen Systeme möglich ist. „Ohne die Wiederherstellung einer gemischten Weidelandschaft mit Agroforstwirtschaft werden die landwirtschaftlichen Betriebe bis 2050 kaum eine Chance haben, ohne Antibiotika ökologisch zu wirtschaften“, fügt Schmutz hinzu.

Hochwertige Lebensmittel, geringe Umweltbelastung

Schmutz weist auf ein weiteres Problem hin: Die strittigen Hilfsmittel unterscheiden sich in erheblichem Maß. „Unser Projekt konnte ein Modell entwickeln, das Aspekte wie die Ökobilanz einbezieht und das in Zukunft auch für andere debattierte Fragen verwendet werden könnte.

Schmutz und sein Team sind der Meinung, dass der ökologische Landbau durch den Verzicht auf alle umstrittenen Betriebsmittel seine Führungsrolle bei den nachhaltigen Praktiken behaupten kann, was dann auch auf die konventionelle Landwirtschaft übergreifen könnte. Zudem besteht die Hoffnung, dass die https://www.ifoam.bio/ (Internationale Vereinigung der ökologischen Landbaubewegungen) (IFOAM) den EU-Standards bei deren schrittweisen Abschaffung zustimmt.

„Wir konnten zeigen, wie alle umstrittenen Betriebsmittel abgeschafft werden können – es bleibt nur die Frage, wann dies möglich ist“, merkt er an. „Unsere Forschung wird auch den Verbrauchenden zugute kommen, da die Kosten für eine nachhaltigere Lebensmittelproduktion transparent gestaltet sind. Es geht darum, Vertrauen zu schaffen, und darum, dass die Verbraucherinnen und Verbraucher die Investitionen in Ausstiegsmaßnahmen zu schätzen wissen.“

Agroekoloji: Sürdürülebilir, iklim ve ekosistem dostu tarım-gıda sistemlerine geçiş

Avrupa’da tarım, istikrarlı ve ekonomik bir gıda tedariği sağlamayı amaçlayan politikalar, teknolojiler ve uygulamalar sayesinde son 70 yılda dönüşüm geçirmiştir. Fakat bu başarının bedeli, çevresel bozulmanın artması olmuştur. Bu CORDIS Results Pack - Sonuç Paketi çerçevesinde, daha sürdürülebilir alternatiflerin sahip olduğu potansiyeli ortaya koyan AB destekli 11 farklı araştırma projesi ele alınmıştır.

Sürdürülebilir tarım üretimini desteklerken bir yandan da çevrenin güçlü bir biçimde yönetilmesini sağlayan bütünsel bir yaklaşım olan agroekoloji, doğa ve ekosistem hizmetleriyle işbirliği yaparak tarlaların esnekliğini ve çeşitliliğini artırır, aynı zamanda tarım-gıda sistemlerinde tam bir dönüşüm sağlama potansiyeline de sahiptir.

Agroekoloji, kullanılan bitki türleri ve çeşitlerinden toprak yönetimi uygulamalarına ve mahsul çeşitlendirme stratejilerine, değer zinciri entegrasyonundan yerel olarak uyarlanmış uygulamaları sürdürebilen ve çiftçiler ile tüketiciler için daha büyük pazar fırsatları sağlayabilen iş modellerine kadar bir dizi tarım uygulaması üzerinde etkiye sahiptir. Agroekolojik ilkelerin uygulandığı tarım çalışmalarına örnek olarak organik tarım, tarımsal ormancılık ve karışık tarım verilebilir.

Agroekoloji, gezegenin sınırlarına saygılı olan hem sürdürülebilir ve sağlıklı gıda rejimleri hem de ana üretimle bağlantılı çevre ve iklim sorunları açısından toplumun değişen ihtiyaçlarına cevap verebilen sürdürülebilir tarım sektörünü teşvik etme çalışmaları kapsamında AB için temel bir araç olma potansiyeline sahiptir.

Bu alanda yapılan araştırma ve yenilikler, tarım sistemlerinde yeni fırsatlar yaratarak, tarım faaliyetlerinin kârlılığını tehlikeye atmadan sürdürülebilir ve esnek arazi kullanımı sistemlerinden faydalanmak üzere ekosistem hizmetlerini kullanmayı mümkün kılıyor.

Agroekoloji, https://ec.europa.eu/info/food-farming-fisheries/key-policies/common-agricultural-policy/cap-glance_en (Ortak Tarım Politikası) (CAP) çalışmasının ilk ayağında ekolojik planlar aracılığıyla desteklenebilecek bir uygulama olarak tanımlanmıştır. Aynı zamanda, https://ec.europa.eu/info/strategy/priorities-2019-2024/european-green-deal_en (AB Yeşil Anlaşması) ve bununla ilgili https://ec.europa.eu/food/horizontal-topics/farm-fork-strategy_en (Farm to Fork - Tarladan Sofraya) ile https://ec.europa.eu/environment/strategy/biodiversity-strategy-2030_en (Biyolojik Çeşitlilik) stratejilerinin hedeflerine ulaşmaya yardımcı olabilecek sürdürülebilir tarım uygulamalarından biri olarak seçilmiştir. Horizon 2020 kapsamında, agroekolojik araştırmaları ileri seviyelere taşımayı hedefleyen birkaç araştırma projesi AB tarafından finanse edilmiştir. Bu projeler, sağladığı çevresel, iklimsel ve sosyal faydaların yanı sıra, ekolojik ve düşük girdili tarım uygulamalarının kullanışlı bir şekilde hayata geçirilmesinin daha iyi anlaşılmasına da katkıda bulunuyor.

Bu çalışmalar, Komisyonun https://ec.europa.eu/info/research-and-innovation/research-area/agriculture-forestry-and-rural-areas/partnership-agroecology_en (‘Accelerating farming systems transition: agroecology living labs and research infrastructures’) (‘Tarım sistemlerine geçiş sürecini hızlandırma: agroekoloji laboratuvarları ve araştırma altyapıları’) kapsamında Avrupa aday ortaklığı teklifinde bulunduğu Horizon Europe çerçevesinde daha da çoğaltılacaktır. Başarıya ulaşması halinde, bu aday ortaklığın en önemli hedefi, Avrupa’da sürdürülebilir, iklim ve ekosistem dostu tarım sistemlerine geçiş sürecini hızlandırmak için agroekolojinin ve yerel inovasyonların sahip olduğu potansiyelden faydalanmak olacaktır.

Agroekoloji alanındaki bu CORDIS Results Pack - Sonuç Paketi, Horizon Europe kapsamında yaklaşmakta olan araştırma ve inovasyon eylemlerini tanımlamanın ve agroekoloji alanında önerilen Avrupa aday ortaklığı ile Horizon 2020 projeleri arasında sinerji oluşturmaya yardımcı olmanın dışında, CAP Stratejik Planlarının hazırlanıp değerlendirilmesine ve ekolojik planların oluşturulmasına yönelik faydalı bilgiler sağlayabileceği CAP reformu gibi devam eden temel süreçlere katkıda bulunmayı da amaçlıyor. Buna ek olarak, AB yakın zamanda https://ec.europa.eu/info/food-farming-fisheries/farming/organic-farming/organic-action-plan_en (organik üretimin geliştirilmesine yönelik Eylem Planı) çalışmasını kabul etmiştir; agroekoloji alanındaki araştırmalar bu planın önemli bir destekçisi olacaktır.

Nihayetinde bu Results Pack - Sonuç Paketi, AB destekli araştırma ve inovasyon eylemleriyle halihazırda elde edilmiş olan sonuçları ortaya koyarak, bu gelecek vaat eden araştırma alanını geliştirmek üzere paydaşları birlikte çalışmaya teşvik etmeyi amaçlıyor.

Bu Results Pack - Sonuç Paketi kapsamında öne çıkarılan projeler, bu alanda yürütülen AB destekli geniş kapsamlı araştırma ve inovasyon faaliyetlerine ve agroekolojinin sürdürülebilir tarım ile çevre korumayı destekleyebileceği yollara örnek olarak verilmiştir.

https://cordis.europa.eu/article/id/434317 (DIVERSify), https://cordis.europa.eu/article/id/434316 (Diverfarming - Çeşitlilik Tarımı) ve https://cordis.europa.eu/article/id/434326 (DiverIMPACTS) projelerinin tamamı, tarlalarda yetişen mahsul çeşitliliğinin artırılmasının nasıl daha fazla ekonomi ve gıda güvenliği sağlayabileceğini, bitki zararlılarına karşı nasıl daha fazla koruma sunabileceğini, kısa rotasyonlu ekim süreçlerine ve monokültürlere kıyasla nasıl daha yüksek biyolojik çeşitlilik ve daha sürdürülebilir üretim sağlayabileceğini gösteriyor.

Avrupa’nın artan bakliyat talebinin yanı sıra çeşitlendirilmiş ve ekolojik tarımda baklagillerin rolü, https://cordis.europa.eu/article/id/434323 (TRUE), https://cordis.europa.eu/article/id/434319 (LEGVALUE) ve https://cordis.europa.eu/article/id/434318 (Legumes Translated - Bakliyat Bilgi Paylaşımı) gibi projeler aracılığıyla ele alınıyor. Organik yem ve tohuma daha fazla erişim sağlama ihtiyacı, https://cordis.europa.eu/article/id/434322 (OK-Net EcoFeed) ve https://cordis.europa.eu/article/id/434321 (LIVESEED) projelerinin yoğunlaştığı alandır. https://cordis.europa.eu/article/id/434325 (CORE Organic Cofund) kapsamında finanse edilen projeler ile https://cordis.europa.eu/article/id/434320 (LIFT) ve https://cordis.europa.eu/article/id/434324 (UNISECO) bünyesinde yürütülen araştırmalar, çiftçilerin, endüstrinin ve politika belirleyicilerin agroekolojik tarımın büyümesine ve gelişimine katkıda bulunabilecekleri farklı yolları ortaya koyuyor.

Yerli bakliyatlarla sürdürülebilir tarımın geliştirilmesi

Avrupa’nın daha sürdürülebilir olabilmesi için tarım-gıda sistemlerini çeşitlendirmesi gerekiyor. Bir AB projesine göre bunun başlangıç noktası, yerli baklagillerin yetiştirilmesinin ve tüketilmesinin teşvik edilmesidir.

Çeşitlilik eken, sürdürülebilirlik biçer: Avrupa’da neden daha fazla “çeşitlilik çiftçisine” ihtiyaç var?

Ekim sistemlerini çeşitlendirmek ve kaynak kullanımını iyileştirmek, çiftçilerin çevresel taahhütleri yerine getirirken nasıl kar elde edebilecekleri ikilemini çözüme kavuşturmalarına yardımcı olabilir.

Avrupa’daki organik tarlalar arasında bilgi ve teknik paylaşımı

AB et ve süt endüstrisi, büyük ölçüde hayvan yemi için ithal edilen soya fasulyesi ürünlerine dayalı bir sektördür. Benzersiz bir bilgi veri tabanı sayesinde, organik çiftçilerin % 100 organik yeme yönelmeleri sağlanıyor.

Avrupa’da agroekolojik bir geleceğe sahip olmak mümkün

Yeni yapılan araştırmalar, sürdürülebilir tarımın yalnızca çevreye fayda sağladığını değil, aynı zamanda çiftçileri ve kırsal toplulukları güçlendirdiğini de gösteriyor.

Çeşitlilik, Avrupa tarımına renk katabilir mi?

Yüksek gübre ve pestisit kullanımıyla desteklenerek yüksek randıman sağlayan az sayıda mahsule rağmen Avrupa’da tarımsal alanda başarı elde edilmiştir. Ürünleri çeşitlendirerek biyolojik çeşitliliği korumak için gerekli olan ekolojik süreçlere destek verebilir, beslenme düzeninin daha sağlıklı ve daha sürdürülebilir olmasını sağlayabiliriz.

Organik sektörün büyüme ve gelişmesinin desteklenmesi

EU Green Deal - Avrupa Yeşil Anlaşması, 2030 yılına kadar tarım arazilerinin % 25’inin organik hale gelmesini hedefliyor. Bu iddialı hedefe ulaşmak, sürdürülebilir gıda üretiminde sürekli araştırma ve yenilik gerektiren bir süreçtir. CORE Organic Cofund, uluslararası araştırma faaliyetleri arasındaki işbirliğini artırarak bu geçiş sürecini yönlendirmeye yardımcı oluyor.

Una red paneuropea para impulsar la agroecología

Los proyectos sobre agroecología están afianzándose en toda Europa. El objetivo del proyecto AE4EU, financiado con fondos europeos, es difundir las mejores prácticas a través de redes e infraestructuras optimizadas.

Cada vez es más necesario que las prácticas agrícolas tengan en cuenta no solo las cuotas de producción, sino también a todos los componentes vivos y no vivos del ecosistema de las tierras agrícolas. Alternativas como la agricultura ecológica pueden constituir un paso adelante para los consumidores que quieren alimentos producidos de manera más sostenible, pero su capacidad para frenar el impacto del sector en los ecosistemas es limitada. Y aquí es donde entra en juego el concepto de la agroecología. La investigación es fundamental para hacer avanzar la agroecología, que poco a poco se está empezando a considerar como el único camino factible para lograr sistemas alimentarios sostenibles. Sin embargo, a pesar de su potencial, en el pasado la falta de coordinación paneuropea ha limitado y fragmentado los proyectos de investigación en el ámbito de la agroecología.

El consorcio del proyecto https://www.ae4eu.eu/ (AE4EU) (Agroecology for Europe), formado por doce socios de diez países europeos, afirma que el conocimiento fragmentado o aislado sobre la agroecología en la investigación, la práctica, la educación, la formación y las políticas debería integrarse y ponerse a disposición de las diferentes partes interesadas.

AE4EU tiene seis objetivos principales. El primero consiste en incrementar los vínculos entre los agentes relevantes. En este sentido, los socios del proyecto identificarán todas las iniciativas locales, las políticas nacionales y regionales, las iniciativas de investigación cooperativa, así como todos los agentes involucrados, para crear una Red Europea de Intercambio de Conocimientos Agroecológicos.

El equipo del proyecto establecerá tres laboratorios vivientes en Italia, los Países Bajos y el Reino Unido, a través de los cuales se tratará de identificar los mecanismos que puedan fortalecer los ecosistemas de investigación e innovación agroecológica en Europa. Estos laboratorios vivientes estarán dirigidos a agricultores, investigadores, responsables políticos y ciudadanos.

Después, los socios del proyecto analizarán recomendaciones y se las proporcionarán a los financiadores para que sus esfuerzos sean más complementarios. En el proyecto se combinarán planteamientos ascendentes y descendentes para comprender cómo se concede la financiación, qué funciona y qué no.

El cuarto objetivo es utilizar la Red Europea de Intercambio de Conocimientos Agroecológicos para facilitar el intercambio de información. Finalmente, los socios del proyecto ofrecerán recomendaciones para políticas futuras y desarrollarán una hoja de ruta y un marco para la futura Asociación Europea de Investigación e Innovación en Agroecología. Este último objetivo es fundamental para el enfoque de AE4EU, ya que «acelerará la transición hacia prácticas agrícolas y de sistemas alimentarios sostenibles mediante la promoción de redes, la conectividad y la innovación basada en el lugar en un entorno de creación conjunta», tal como se puede leer en el sitio web del proyecto.

Si bien el proyecto aún está iniciando su andadura, https://www.ae4eu.eu/agroecology-in-europe/policy-briefs/ (ya se han publicado) los primeros hallazgos sobre las características y la eficacia de la financiación existente en el ámbito de la agroecología. Además, el equipo ha creado una base de datos exhaustiva de proyectos, programas e instituciones relevantes, ha elaborado resúmenes de políticas para la https://agriculture.ec.europa.eu/common-agricultural-policy/cap-overview/new-cap-2023-27_es (nueva política agrícola común) y el https://ec.europa.eu/info/strategy/priorities-2019-2024/european-green-deal_es (Pacto Verde Europea), y ha iniciado la creación conjunta de lo que el proyecto denomina una «red global de redes agroecológicas en Europa».
