Kick-off of ICT AGRI 2, FACCE ERA-GAS and SusAn joint research
On the 18th of November, back-to-back with the Susan Research Project Seminar, eight research projects will be presenting themselves at a virtual Kick-off Seminar. The ERA-NETs on Sustainable Animal Production Systems (SusAn), the ERA-NET for monitoring & mitigation of Greenhouse gases from agri- and silvi-culture (FACCE ERA-GAS) and the ERA-NET on ICT and robotics for sustainable agriculture (ICT AGRI 2) organised a joint call in 2018 on “Novel technologies, solutions and systems to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions of animal production systems”. Two of the eight projects involve Dutch researchers. Twenty-seven funding parties from twenty European countries, four Associated or Third Party countries joined the call. During the last year, the research consortia started their work:
- CCCfarming - Climate Care Cattle Farming Systems*
- FarmSustainaBl - Enabling Smart Livestock Farming Technologies for Environmental Sustainability using Blockchain
- GrassToGas - Grass To Gas: Strategies to mitigate GHG emissions from pasture based sheep systems
- GrASTech - Precision Livestock Farming (PLF) Technologies to Reduce Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions Intensity of Pasture-based Cattle Systems
- M4Models - Manure management for methane mitigation - Improved inventory modelling to support policy actions*
- MELS - Mitigating greenhouse gas emissions from livestock systems
- MilKey - Decision support system for sustainable and GHG optimised milk production in key European areas
- SEASOLUTIONS - Seaweeds and seaweed-ingredients to reduce enteric methane emissions from pasture-based sheep, cattle and dairy cows
* Dutch reserarchers involved
During the seminar the researchers will share insights on their ongoing research, and discuss, together with stakeholders, funders and the public their main fields of work.
