Qual foi o desafio/problema abordado?

Contudo, there is still insufficient knowledge about the practical implementation of cultivation systems that can be used to specifically promote biodiversity in the soil and about the on-farm potential for improving soil fertility through the implementation of biodiverse cultivation systems. This project aims to close this gap by integrating innovative practical farms from the Verein Boden.Leben with applied and basic research in order to further optimize biodiversity and soil health in Austrian agriculture.

Como você resolveu o problema?

Through the exchange of knowledge between innovative practical companies with applied research and basic research, this project aims to close knowledge gaps and improve the dissemination of existing knowledge.

O que há de inovador no seu caso prático?

The project combines practical and exact field trials with modern methods of determining soil microbiology using DNA sequencing and recording soil health indicators (nutrient-mobilizing soil enzymes, soil organic matter, soil structure). The effects of microbially induced soil health potential on the vitality of crops as a key objective of climate change-adapted agriculture are recorded using remote sensing methods

Quais são os fatores de sucesso na resolução do problema?

The project is a guideline and provides tools for the implementation of biodiverse, soil-improving cultivation systems that support farmers, advisors and authorities in optimizing the environmental performance and potential of arable farming.

Lições aprendidas

Longer time horizon for the project, one would have to select the test plots differently or ask different research questions

Qual o papel do consultor ou serviço de consultoria no caso prático?

Field methods to diagnose and assess progress in soil health (estrutura, biology), support farmers to implement practical cropping systems to optimize environmental performance and potential in arable farming
