Animali sani per persone sane

Le epizoozie rappresentano una grave minaccia per la salute di animali ed esseri umani, riducendo la produttività. Questo CORDIS Results Pack presenta 12 progetti finanziati dall’UE che lottano contro le malattie infettive sia attraverso una loro migliore prevenzione, individuazione e risposta, contribuendo così alla riduzione della resistenza antimicrobica, che mediante l’approfondimento della genetica di ospiti e patogeni, ampliando i confini della conoscenza delle epizoozie.

https://www.woah.org/en/home/ (L’Organizzazione mondiale per la salute animale) (WOAH) ha stimato che, a livello globale, le perdite di produzione animale dovute alle malattie infettive possono arrivare fino al 20 %. I focolai di malattie epidemiche, quali la peste suina africana o l’influenza aviaria, nonché le malattie endemiche quali la tubercolosi bovina possono condurre a turbative commerciali che colpiscono l’economia globale.

Ancora più grave è il fatto che alcuni patogeni possano essere trasmessi tra animali ed esseri umani, le cosiddette zoonosi. Secondo il WOAH, il 75 % delle epizoozie emergenti può essere trasmesso agli esseri umani.

Se impiegati correttamente, gli antimicrobici sono molto efficaci nel controllo delle malattie; tuttavia, si tratta di una risorsa sprecata. Sono infatti insorti problemi con la resistenza antimicrobica a causa del persistente uso eccessivo o errato degli antibiotici. Uno https://www.ecdc.europa.eu/en/news-events/33000-people-die-every-year-due-infections-antibiotic-resistant-bacteria (studio dell’ECDC) ha stimato che, nella sola UE, è possibile attribuire 33 000 decessi all’anno alla resistenza agli antibiotici, appesantendo quindi annualmente di 1,5 miliardi di euro la «bolletta sanitaria» europea.

Allo scopo di frenare la crescente ondata di patogeni resistenti ai farmaci, i progetti di ricerca dell’UE stanno sviluppando test accurati in loco per le malattie prima della prescrizione di terapie. Per una protezione sostenibile della salute degli animali, deve essere disponibile un rilevamento accurato e rapido delle malattie.

La ricerca e l’innovazione per una prevenzione e un controllo migliori delle epizoozie favoriscono notevolmente l’allevamento sostenibile e la sicurezza alimentare. Le iniziative di questo Results Pack affrontano diversi elementi delle politiche dell’UE. Di grande rilievo sono il https://www.foodsafetynews.com/2020/05/eu-plans-cut-to-antimicrobial-and-pesticide-use-in-farm-to-fork-strategy/ (Green Deal europeo e la sua strategia «dal produttore al consumatore») volti ad affermare l’UE come produttrice sostenibile di alimenti sicuri e di qualità elevata. Il https://health.ec.europa.eu/antimicrobial-resistance/eu-action-antimicrobial-resistance_it (piano d’azione dell’UE «One Health» contro la resistenza antimicrobica) rafforzerà in modo strategico il programma di ricerca sulla resistenza antimicrobica e consentirà all’UE di promuovere attivamente l’azione globale, nonché di svolgere un ruolo di spicco nella lotta contro questo tipo di resistenza.

Un altro obiettivo rilevante del piano d’azione dell’UE «One Health» riguarda la trasformazione dell’UE in una regione contraddistinta dall’applicazione delle migliori pratiche. L’allontanamento dagli antibiotici non è semplice e deve essere accompagnato da cambiamenti nell’allevamento e da nuove terapie.

In altre parole, deve essere applicata una mentalità completamente nuova alle pratiche agricole e all’allevamento di animali destinati all’alimentazione. Il risultato consisterà in un sistema agricolo che protegge la salute di animali e persone, offrendo ai consumatori prodotti di elevata qualità e fornendo un approccio più sostenibile alla produzione alimentare.

Con l’obiettivo di monitorare e controllare le malattie in modo efficace, i progetti https://cordis.europa.eu/article/id/442280-in-just-minutes-mobile-tool-accurately-detects-viruses-at-pig-farms/it (SWINOSTICS), https://cordis.europa.eu/article/id/442242-portable-tool-for-timely-pathogen-detection-in-the-food-industry/it (VIVALDI) e https://cordis.europa.eu/article/id/442238-fast-and-reliable-on-site-diagnosis-of-livestock-infections/it (RAID) hanno sviluppato test economici e rapidi per un’ampia gamma di malattie virali e batteriche.

Per affrontare il problema della resistenza antimicrobica, i progetti https://cordis.europa.eu/article/id/442233-how-a-thematic-network-is-tackling-livestock-antibiotic-resistance/it (DISARM), https://cordis.europa.eu/article/id/442234-curbing-antimicrobial-drug-use-in-livestock-becomes-more-viable/it (HealthyLivestock), https://cordis.europa.eu/article/id/442237-understanding-host-pathogen-environment-interactions-of-streptococcus-suis/it (PIGSs) e https://cordis.europa.eu/article/id/442236-killing-two-poultry-bugs-with-one-therapy-without-risk-of-resistance/it (PHAGOVET) stanno tutti accelerando la transizione dell’industria alimentare verso la prevenzione, la biosicurezza e l’uso di precisione degli antibiotici, nonché il ricorso ad alternative.

Al fine di creare una base solida per tutte le ricerche, cinque progetti hanno ampliato le conoscenze relative a una vasta gamma di epizoozie. https://cordis.europa.eu/article/id/442232-discovering-truths-about-bird-flu/it (DIGDEEP) sta studiando la genetica dell’influenza aviaria mentre https://cordis.europa.eu/article/id/442231-characterising-the-factors-that-drive-avian-influenza-dynamics/it (DELTA-FLU) sta indagando sulle dinamiche di diffusione del virus. https://cordis.europa.eu/article/id/442241-unleashing-the-research-potential-of-high-containment-animal-facilities/it (VetBioNet) sta facendo progredire le reti per gestire le malattie epizootiche e zoonotiche emergenti. https://cordis.europa.eu/article/id/442239-accelerating-the-development-of-impactful-animal-disease-control-tools/it (SIRCAH) ha messo a punto tabelle di marcia e instaurato collaborazioni per il controllo delle epizoozie.

Infine, è estremamente importante che la nuova generazione di studenti e studentesse disponga di conoscenze aggiornate; pertanto, il progetto https://cordis.europa.eu/article/id/442235-the-making-of-preparedness-experts-in-infectious-diseases/it (HONOURs) ha offerto corsi di formazione a 15 giovani ricercatori e ricercatrici promettenti incentrati sul punto di incontro tra salute veterinaria e umana, virologia, biostatistica e scoperta dei patogeni.

Se cultiva la investigación transnacional en agricultura ecológica

El proyecto CORE Organic Cofund, financiado con fondos europeos, es una red de ministerios y consejos de investigación europeos dedicados a financiar la investigación en agricultura y sistemas agrícolas ecológicos.

Uno de los caminos mejor definidos hacia la agricultura y la producción sostenibles de alimentos es la agricultura ecológica. «Debido a la ausencia de productos fitosanitarios y al uso de una mayor variedad de cultivos, la agricultura ecológica puede mejorar la salud del suelo, disminuir la contaminación y promover la biodiversidad, lo que la convierte en una opción alternativa sostenible en la producción de alimentos», explica Ivana Trkulja, coordinadora de https://www.coreorganic.org/ (CORE Organic) en el https://icrofs.dk/en/ (Centro Internacional de Investigación en Sistemas Alimentarios Ecológicos).

Sin embargo, para cosechar realmente los beneficios de la agricultura ecológica, esta debe aplicarse a gran escala. «Junto con las explotaciones ecológicas individuales, que es lo que tenemos, debemos construir un ecosistema de agricultura ecológica», aclara Trkulja.

El proyecto financiado con fondos europeos https://projects.au.dk/coreorganiccofund/ (CORE Organic Cofund) (Coordination of European Transnational Research in Organic Food and Farming Systems Cofund) ayuda a crear este ecosistema.

CORE Organic, creada en 2004, es una red de ministerios y consejos de investigación europeos dedicados a financiar la investigación en sistemas de alimentación y agricultura ecológica. «Al aunar fuerzas entre organizaciones y Estados miembros, podemos ofrecer un mejor apoyo a los proyectos de investigación transnacionales que abordan algunos de los desafíos más importantes a lo largo de la cadena de valor ecológica», añade Trkulja.

En los últimos 18 años, el programa ha celebrado 8 convocatorias transnacionales y ha financiado con 61,9 millones EUR a 62 proyectos de investigación. En estas convocatorias han participado investigadores de todos los países asociados, incluidos los más pequeños y los de Europa Oriental. Las convocatorias han abarcado temas de agroecología tales como las enfermedades animales, los sistemas de cultivo, la producción mixta de animales y plantas, la alimentación animal, el procesamiento de alimentos ecológicos y los sistemas alimentarios circulares y de residuos cero.

«CORE Organic tiene un historial demostrado de creación de capacidad y desarrollo de competencias en la investigación ecológica —señala Trkulja—. Como resultado de estos proyectos financiados, en Europa no solo ha aumentado el interés por la agricultura ecológica, sino que también se considera un elemento fundamental para un sistema alimentario sostenible, resistente al clima y circular».

Durante la fase CORE Organic Cofund, la red lanzó tres convocatorias de investigación transnacionales. Tras una https://projects.au.dk/coreorganiccofund/core-organic-cofund-projects (convocatoria independiente en 2016), la red colaboró con https://susfood-db-era.net/main/ (SUSFOOD2 Cofund) para publicar una https://projects.au.dk/coreorganiccofund/joint-call-with-susfood2-2019 (convocatoria en 2019 sobre sistemas alimentarios sostenibles y ecológicos). La integración del pensamiento sistémico establecida por la convocatoria de 2019 avanzó aún más con una https://projects.au.dk/coreorganiccofund/2021-call-projects (convocatoria en 2021 sobre sistemas de agricultura ecológica para mejorar la producción mixta de plantas y animales).

En total, en la fase de cofinanciación participaron veintinueve organizaciones de financiación de veintiún países o regiones que apoyaron veintinueve proyectos.

Consecución de los objetivos del Pacto Verde

Incluso con más de un decenio y medio de éxito a sus espaldas, Trkulja afirma que CORE Organic no ha hecho más que empezar. «Todavía hay desafíos que deben abordarse, especialmente con el ambicioso objetivo del https://ec.europa.eu/info/strategy/priorities-2019-2024/european-green-deal_es (Pacto Verde Europeo) de hacer que el 25 % de las tierras agrícolas de la Unión Europea sean ecológicas para 2030».

A fin de lograr este objetivo, https://projects.au.dk/coreorganicpleiades/about (CORE Organic Pleiades), la fase del programa iniciada en septiembre de 2022 bajo el paraguas del proyecto financiado con fondos europeos https://cordis.europa.eu/project/id/101060368/es (OrganicTargets4EU), se centra por completo en la comprensión de las implicaciones de los objetivos de la agricultura ecológica del Pacto Verde.

Mientras tanto, CORE Organic mantiene su misión de coordinar las inversiones en investigación necesarias para facilitar una mayor innovación en el sector de la agricultura ecológica. Trkulja concluye: «La red CORE Organic ha proporcionado un nivel de continuidad muy necesario, y esto garantiza que la financiación tenga un efecto duradero y que la comunidad de investigación ecológica esté bien posicionada para abordar los desafíos actuales y de nueva aparición».

Mit besserem Saatgut die Zukunft des ökologischen Landbaus bestimmen

Das EU-finanzierte Projekt ECOBREED bringt Partner aus Europa, Australien, China und den Vereinigten Staaten zusammen, um eine bessere Versorgung mit ökologischem Saatgut für Weizen, Kartoffeln, Soja und Buchweizen zu erreichen.

Die biologische Landwirtschaft erfordert ökologisches Saatgut. Das hört sich zwar relativ einfach an, aber ökologisches Saatgut ist teuer, schwer zu beschaffen, birgt ein höheres Risiko für durch Saatgut übertragene Krankheiten und kann durch nicht ökologisches Saatgut verunreinigt werden.

Das Projekt https://ecobreed.eu/ (ECOBREED) (Increasing the efficiency and competitiveness of organic crop breeding) strebt an zu verhindern, dass Engpässe wie diese das Wachstum des Markts für ökologische Erzeugnisse behindern. Es zielt darauf ab, die Verfügbarkeit von geeignetem Saatgut und entsprechenden Sorten zu verbessern, die Merkmale mit dem größten Potenzial zu ermitteln und die Züchtungsaktivitäten für den ökologischen Anbau und den Anbau mit geringem Aufwand zu steigern.

Das Projekt startete im Mai 2018 und verfolgt sieben Ziele: die Bestimmung geeigneter Merkmale und Variationen, die Bewertung des Potenzials der genetischen Variation zur Verbesserung der Nährstoffaufnahme, die Verbesserung der Wettbewerbsfähigkeit und der Unkrautbekämpfung, die Entwicklung besserer partizipativer Züchtungssysteme, die Vorzucht von „Elitesorten“ und die Organisation von Schulungsprogrammen.

Die erste Phase des Projekts widmete sich der Bestimmung, Auswahl, Bewertung und Vermehrung von Genotypen, um weitere Studien und Feldversuche zu unterstützen. Letztere konzentrierten sich speziell auf vier Pflanzenarten: Weizen, Kartoffeln, Sojabohnen und Buchweizen. Laut Vladimir Meglič, dem Projektkoordinator und Forscher am https://arhiv.kis.si/pls/kis/!kis.web?j=EN (Landwirtschaftsinstitut Sloweniens), besteht das Ziel letztlich darin, sicherzustellen, dass die neuen Sorten ökologischer Kulturpflanzen denselben Ertrag pro Hektar erzielen wie konventionelle Sorten. Das Team stellte vielversprechende Kreuzungen für bestimmte Eigenschaften wie Trockentoleranz, Resistenz gegen Krankheiten und Nährwert fest.

Die Feldversuche fanden in verschiedenen Ländern statt. In Slowenien führte das Landwirtschaftsinstitut Versuche mit Biokartoffeln durch, um die Qualität und Vitalität der Knollen durch den Einsatz von bodenbedeckenden Kulturen zu optimieren. In Slowenien und den Vereinigten Staaten fanden Versuche zur Phosphoraufnahme von Buchweizen statt, während sich die Versuche in Serbien auf die negativen wirtschaftlichen Auswirkungen der Grünen Reiswanze auf die europäische Sojaproduktion konzentrierten.

Die Projektpartner führten außerdem drei auf Hartweizen zugeschnittene Versuche durch, wobei die https://www.unitus.it/en (Universität Tuscia) in Italien die Führung übernahm. Im ersten Jahr des Projekts wurden insgesamt 72 Hartweizenlinien auf italienischen, österreichischen und bulgarischen Feldern bewertet. Die Versuche führten zu Kreuzungen mit höherer Produktivität als bei bereits kommerzialisierten Pflanzen.

„Eine vollständige Umstellung auf die ökologische Erzeugung wäre unmöglich, weil biologische Lebensmittel immer noch ein Nischenmarkt sind und da viele Biobetriebe ohne Subventionen derzeit einfach nicht überleben würden“, sagte Meglič 2018 gegenüber einer slowenischen Zeitung. „Was wir jedoch tun können und mit ECOBREED bereits umsetzen, ist zu versuchen, neue Ansätze und Technologien zu erkunden, um die manuelle Arbeit zu verringern, Unkraut zu beseitigen und den Biobetrieben krankheitsresistente Sorten zur Verfügung zu stellen.“

Das Projekt wird voraussichtlich Anfang 2024 abgeschlossen sein.

Sowing organic agriculture’s future with better seed stock

The EU-funded ECOBREED project brings together partners from Europe, Australia, China and the United States to build a better supply of organic seeds for wheat, potatoes, soy and buckwheat.

Organic farming requires organic seeds. While this sounds relatively straightforward, organic seeds are expensive, difficult to source, carry a higher risk of seed-borne diseases, and can be contaminated by their non-organic counterparts.

The https://ecobreed.eu/ (ECOBREED) (Increasing the efficiency and competitiveness of organic crop breeding) project’s ambition is to prevent bottlenecks such as this hindering growth of the organic market. It aims to improve the availability of suitable seeds and varieties, identify traits with the highest potential, and increase breeding activities for organic and low-input crop production.

The project kicked off in May 2018, pursuing seven objectives: identifying suitable traits and variations; evaluating the potential of genetic variation to enhance nutrient acquisition; increasing weed competitiveness and control; developing better participatory breeding systems; pre-breeding ‘elite’ varieties; and organising training programmes.

The initial phase of the project was dedicated to the identification, selection, evaluation and multiplication of genotypes to allow for further studies and field trials. The latter specifically focused on four crop species: wheat, potato, soybean and buckwheat. According to Vladimir Meglič, coordinator of the project and researcher at the https://arhiv.kis.si/pls/kis/!kis.web?j=EN (Agricultural Institute of Slovenia), the ultimate objective is to ensure that the new varieties of organic crops have the same yield per hectare as conventional ones. The team identified promising crosses for specific traits such as drought tolerance, resistance to pathologies and nutritional value.

The field trials took place in several different countries. In Slovenia, the Agricultural Institute ran tests on organic potatoes, seeking to improve seed tuber quality and vigour through the use of cover crops. Phosphorus uptake efficiency trials focusing on buckwheat took place in Slovenia and the United States, while experiments in Serbia focused on the negative economic impact of the southern green shield bug on European soybean production.

Project partners also ran three trials specific to durum wheat, with https://www.unitus.it/en (Tuscia University) in Italy leading the charge. A total of 72 durum wheat lines were evaluated during the first year of the project, on Italian, Austrian and Bulgarian fields. The experiments resulted in cross-selections with higher productivity than already commercialised crops.

“Completely switching to organic production would be impossible because organic food is still a niche market, and because many organic farmers simply wouldn’t survive without subsidies at this stage,” Meglič told a Slovenian newspaper in 2018. “What we can do and are already doing with ECOBREED, however, is to try and find new approaches and technologies to reduce manual work, eliminate weed and provide disease-resistant varieties to organic farmers.”

The project is expected to conclude in early 2024.

Agroecology: research for resilient, sustainable, climate-, ecosystem- and social-friendly farming systems

The EU has set ambitious targets for the agricultural sector. Not only do Europe’s farmers need to ensure a reliable supply of high-quality food – fruit, vegetables, nuts, cereals and animal products – and non-food products at competitive prices, they must also deliver on the environmental commitments of the EU Green Deal and farm to fork strategy.

Supporting national authorities in the transition towards climate-neutral cities

Cities take up only 4 % of the EU’s land area. However, they are home to three quarters of EU citizens and account for more than 70 % of global CO2 emissions. Without a doubt, climate-neutral cities are vital in achieving the goals of the European Green Deal and making European cities sustainable and inclusive. In this context, the EU-funded CapaCITIES project is supporting national authorities in improving their measures and conditions for cities to become climate neutral. With its consortium of 15 European countries committed to implementing national change processes, CapaCITIES will empower public authorities to exchange knowledge with, learn from and inspire each other in the transition towards climate-neutral cities.

A pan-European network to boost agroecology

Agroecology projects are taking root across Europe. The EU-funded AE4EU project aims to spread best practices through improved networking and infrastructure.

There is an increasing need to make agricultural practices consider not only production quotas, but also every living and non-living component of the farmland ecosystem. Alternatives such as organic farming may be a step forward for consumers wanting food produced in more sustainable ways, but its capacity to single-handedly curb the sector’s impact on ecosystems is limited. This is where the concept of agroecology comes into play. Research is key to advancing agroecology. Increasingly it is seen as the only viable path to sustainable food systems. Yet, despite all the potential, agroecology-relevant research projects have in the past remained limited and fragmented due to a lack of pan-European coordination.

The https://www.ae4eu.eu/ (AE4EU) (Agroecology for Europe) project consortium, comprising 12 partners from 10 European countries, asserts that scattered or isolated knowledge about agroecology in research, practice, education, training and policies should be brought together and made available to many stakeholders.

AE4EU has six main objectives. The first consists in increasing connections between relevant actors. Project partners will map all local initiatives, national and regional policies, cooperative research efforts as well as all actors involved, to create a European Agroecology Exchange Network.

The project team will set up three living labs in Italy, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom, seeking to identify mechanisms that can strengthen agroecological research and innovation ecosystems in Europe. These living labs will target farmers, as well as researchers, policymakers and citizens.

Project partners will then analyse and provide recommendations to funders in order to make their efforts more complementary. The project will combine top-down and bottom-up approaches to understand how funding is delivered, what works, and what doesn’t.

The fourth objective is to use the European Agroecology Exchange Network to facilitate knowledge exchanges. Finally, they will provide recommendations for future policies, and develop a roadmap and framework for the future European R&I partnership in agroecology. The latter is key to the AE4EU approach, as it will “accelerate the transition towards sustainable farming and food systems practices by promoting networking, connectivity and place-based innovation in a co-creative environment,” according to the project website.

Although the project is still in its infancy, early findings on the nature and effectiveness of existing agroecology funding https://www.ae4eu.eu/agroecology-in-europe/policy-briefs/ (have already been published). The team has delivered a full database of relevant projects, programmes and institutions, drafted policy briefs for the https://agriculture.ec.europa.eu/common-agricultural-policy/cap-overview/new-cap-2023-27_en (new common agricultural policy) and the https://ec.europa.eu/info/strategy/priorities-2019-2024/european-green-deal_en (European Green Deal), and initiated the co-creation of what the project terms an “overarching network of agroecological networks in Europe.”

Science-based monitoring of indoor pollution

Dangers connected with air pollution within buildings and surrounding built environments gained increased attention during the COVID-19 pandemic, as people had to spend many hours indoors. Yet, despite the severe and complex impact of indoor air quality on human health and well-being, much remains underexplored. To fill this gap, the EU-funded EDIAQI project will research chemical and biological sources of indoor air pollution, quantifications of their properties, and their routes of exposure and dispersion in the case of several European cities. The goal is to promote advanced, small-scale, high-intensity scientific focus and long-standing monitoring of target indoor air pollutants allowing, for the first time, science-based indoor air quality solutions.

Elucidating the parameters governing isotopic mass exchange during snow sublimation

Sublimation is the process by which snow or ice evaporates, bypassing the liquid phase entirely. This mass loss by sublimation influences Earth's hydrological cycle and radiation balance, impacting climate and modulating water resources. The specific parameters governing the patterns and magnitude of snow sublimation fluxes are not well understood, posing challenges to the predictive modelling of snow ablation. With the support of the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions programme, the iSUBLIME project will address this with field measurements and control experiments to better understand the mass transfer between snow and atmosphere using oxygen and hydrogen isotope measurements in solid, vapourised and liquid water. The ensuing model will assist in deducing the importance of sublimation in the water cycle of present, past and future.
