Currently, traditional methods pose threats to ecosystems and resources. This technology focuses on mitigating these issues through a multifaceted approach.
The centre offers the following products and/or services:
- Composting technologies
- Biogas technologies
- Bioremediation technologies for contaminated soils
- Bioremediation technologies for contaminated soils
- Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and Energy Efficiency
- Environmental and agroforestry resource analysis
- Coexistence studies of renewable energy production systems (wind, etc.) with crops.
- Analysis of biodegradability, phytotoxicity, GHG emissions and other parameters of environmental interest.
- Genetic identification of forest species for certification and traceability purposes and for carrying out population genetics studies.
- Calculation of the ecological footprint and carbon footprint.
The innovative aspect lies in the integration of these technologies, fostering a holistic and environmentally conscious approach to agriculture. Methods not only address current environmental challenges but also pave the way for sustainable farming practices, aligning with global initiatives for a greener future.
Regarding cooperation, the center seeks partnerships for collaborative research, technology transfer, and implementation of his innovative solutions. This choice is driven by the belief that international collaboration enhances the exchange of knowledge and resources, fostering a more widespread adoption of sustainable agricultural practices globally. The desired outcome is the successful integration of technologies into diverse agricultural landscapes, contributing to a harmonious coexistence between human activities and the environment. The Spanish center envision international cooperation as a catalyst for advancing the frontier of sustainable agriculture and promoting a resilient, eco-friendly future. - Advantages and Innovations
-
The technology center presents a groundbreaking approach to sustainable agriculture, marked by clear advantages and innovations when compared to existing alternatives. Through an integrated system encompassing composting, biogas, and soil bioremediation, it establishes itself as a leader in environmentally conscious cultivation.
The key advantage lies in a substantial reduction of carbon and water footprints, fostering an eco-friendly farming paradigm. The technology center's comprehensive strategy enhances soil health, mitigating the adverse impacts associated with conventional agricultural practices. The incorporation of precise data collection tools like NDVI (normalized difference vegetation index) devices and fluorometry meters ensures an unprecedented level of accuracy, empowering farmers to make well-informed decisions for optimized resource management.
In comparison to traditional methods, this innovative approach minimizes environmental repercussions while maximizing overall efficiency. Notably, it excels in facilitating the coexistence of agricultural practices with renewable energy systems, such as wind turbines, addressing a common challenge in the industry. This adaptability positions the technology center's solutions as a cornerstone in advancing the sustainability of the agricultural sector. - Stage of Development
