to investigate and to identify management strategies at multi-scale level to improve grain production, nutrient use efficiency and soil health in cereal-based organic and conventional cropping systems in a range of Mediterranean conditions.
to advance in the ecological transition of cereal production by assessing the effectiveness of nature-based and circular economy strategies under present and climate change conditions through a multidisciplinary framework.
produce flour of a high quality with the highest efficiency and sustainability by improving agronomy and selecting adequate varieties.
Increase field crops farms profitability though the innovation in the production systems, management practices devoted to grain legumes for human consumption and analyze the challenges and potentialities of the value chain.
Evaluate intercropping for grain production as a strategy to mitigate organic agriculture main limitations in the local context: N availability, weeds pressure and climate change, with the participation of stakeholders.
PROSOY aims at designing and evaluating different soybean production methods to maximize yields sustainably, controlling weeds efficiently and improving soil quality. PROSOY is based on a participatory approach in collaboration with stakeholders.
Design, assessment and establishment of innovative climate-smart cropping system alternatives based on lower environmental impact, and adequate productivity.
The study of the impact of crop diversification on crop yield and quality, soil structure and soil greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
The study of four management practices in field crops: nitrogen fertilization, soil and crop residues management, irrigation management, with the objective to identify management practices which mitigate soil GHG emission to the atmosphere in the Ebro Valley and the Guadalquivir Valley (Spain).
