Su propósito es fomentar el relevo generacional en el sector agrario implementando espacios test agrarios para contribuir a un mundo rural vivo, dinámico y sostenible. La Red de Espacios Test Agrarios (RETA) es el proyecto de dinamización, apoyo y acompañamiento a las entidades que promueven espacios test agrarios en España. La RETA surge en 2018 como proyecto de innovación social para atender a las necesidades de relevo generacional en el sector agrario, gracias un Grupo Operativo financiado por el Ministerio de Agricultura, Pesca y Alimentación en el marco del Programa Nacional de Desarrollo Rural 2014-2020. El 25 de octubre de 2022 se formaliza la Asociación Red de Espacios Test Agrarios (RETA), de la mano de sus cuatro entidades fundadoras: Fundación Cooprado (Extremadura), Asociación de Desarrollo Rural Urkiola (Euskadi), Asociación para el Desarrollo rural Zunbeltz (Navarra) y ARCA (Cataluña). Desde octubre de 2020 y hasta diciembre de 2024, gracias a la confianza y financiación de la Fundación Daniel y Nina Carasso, la RETA dispone de una secretaría técnica con un equipo técnico interdisciplinar. Desde 2024, todas aquellas entidades interesadas en la implementación de espacios test agrarios pueden ser socias de la RETA. Los pasos para el proceso de adhesión se pueden consultar en el apartado de Adhesión a la red (Acción).

Agricultural run-off and subsurface drainage tiles transport a significant amount of nitrogen and phosphorus leached after fertilization. alchemia-nova GmbH in collaboration with University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences, Vienna developed two multi-layer vertical filter systems to address the agricultural run-off issue, which has been installed on the slope of an agricultural field in Mistelbach, Austria. While another multi-layer addressing subsurface drainage water is implemented in Gleisdorf, Austria. The goal is to develop a drainage filter system to retain water and nutrients. Both multi-layer filter systems contain biochar and other substrates with adsorption properties of nutrients (nitrogen, phosphorus). The filter system can be of practical use if an excess of nutrients being washed out is of concern in the fields of the practitioner by keeping the surrounding waters clean. This approach may result in economic value by re-using the saturated biochar as fertilizer and improving the soil structure, thus increasing long-term soil fertility.

FACTSHEET NANOCELLULOSE MEMBRANES FOR NUTRIENT RECOVERY Key information Functionalized nanocellulose membranes can take up nitrate and phosphate. These membranes can be put in a water treatment unit. As the membranes are biobased, degradable materials, they can after use be added to the soil, thus returning the leached nutrients back for their original purpose providing fertilizers (nutrient recycling).
Because variables such as temperature and humidity have a profound effect on the activity of crop pests, diseases and natural enemies, the ability to monitor environmental conditions within a crop has always been important for crop protection.
