Innovations
Precision farming
site-specific precision seeding, precision grass cover management, contouring seeding methods in agroforestry systems based on monumental olive-yards, vineyards, and animal grazing on hilly slopes; such techniques are managed with innovative approaches that involve the integration of GNSS, variable rate technology or controlled traffic farming and optimised path planning to optimise resource use.
Composting techniques
a large range of composting techniques (organic agriculture, natural Korean farming, effective microrganisms) to valorise pruning residuals and other organic wastes such as coffee left-overs and exhausted mushroom substrates within a circular bioeconomy context.
Inoculation technology
inoculation technology for saline and drought tolerance-inducing, symbiotic Rhizobia, aimed to foster soil-plant interactions for increasing climate resilience and productivity of agroecosystems.
