Se ha diseñado un proyecto de desarrollo de una práctica: conjunción de las actividades apícola y de producción agroecológica para la validación de efectos mutuamente beneficiosos o simbióticos, contemplando un escenario de adaptación al cambio climático y para la Sierra de Madrid. La conjunción de ambas actividades se testará en 3-4 explotaciones y fincas de la Sierra de Madrid, con diferente orientación productiva y mediante el manejo de infraestructuras de diferentes tipos: verdes (composición de aromáticas), colmenares y sociales (tutelaje de la actividad apícola). La efectividad de las actuaciones se medirá mediante la valoración de indicadores seleccionados y validados por un panel de expertos. El proyecto (i) demostrará la viabilidad de la práctica conjunta, (ii) facilitará los indicadores más adecuados para su seguimiento, (iii) fijará las necesidades y condiciones básicas para su factibilidad, (iv) realizará acciones de difusión, promoción y demostración y (v) producirá un informe integral de la situación actual y las medidas de adaptación a un escenario de cambio climático. El informe será facilitado a las instancias implicadas en la adopción de políticas locales para servicios comunes y fijación de población en el medio rural.

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.
