Descrizione:

It is widely recognised that the primary sector has significant potential to mitigate climate change, given that it has been responsible for around a third of all carbon emissions since 1850 from land use. Though agriculture in the EU accounts for only about 2% of GDP and 5% of employment, it is responsible for 45% of total land use and 9.6% of total greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions (according to figures for the EU-27 in 2008). The overall goal of the LIFE-AGRICARE project is to demonstrate that the introduction of new integrated agriculture applications, incorporating precision farming technologies, have significant potential in terms of energy saving and GHG reductions. The project’s specific objectives are to: • Test and demonstrate, in four different crop systems, the GHG mitigation potential of five types of new electronic and mechanical machines for minimum tillage and sustainable soil management; • Compare innovative types of equipment for precision farming with traditionatypes, to benchmark their effective potential for energy saving and GHG mitigation; • Analyse the barriers to the diffusion of new techniques in different Italian ruraareas and to assess the economic convenience for farmers of introducing advanced precision farming systems, taking into account the driving forces towards changes (e.g. increasing yields, energy reductions and overall economic benefits); • Evaluate, using modelling systems and GIS analysis, the long-term effects otechnology introductions upon the effects of climate change patterns in agriculture, as well as defining the Italian rural surfaces that are most suitable for the introduction of the tested technologies; and introduce on a large scale low-emission, precision farming techniques, along with agro environmental indicators, by implementing a technology transfer strategy at regional, national and European levels.

Attività svolta da ENEA:

Le attività previste per ENEA riguardano: Identificare le barriere sociali, economiche e tecniche alla diffusione delle nuove tecnologie: Valutare i benefici ambientali di tali tecnologie; Analizzare in termini LCA il bilancio delle tecniche innovative; Sviluppare un sistema WEB di analisi della convenienza economico ambientale della introduzione in azienda di tali innovazioni; Valutare i benefici globali e le aree agricole ove è possibile estendere le tecniche innovative tramite sistemi GIS; Contribuire a diffondere e disseminare le innovazioni anche al pubblico di agricoltori.
