Summary in the original language of the document

Learn about experiences from farmers about new manure treatment forms, innovations on a stockless farm, synergies of adaptation and biodiversity, building a biogas cooperation, green manure cultivation, using Sudanese sorghum gras in the rotation, about permanent grass and vineyards, olive groves and green manure, mobile livestock systems, the economics of establishing biodiversity strips, practical education about biogas and dairy production and animal welfare. The end of the document deals with integrating climate-friendly and resilient agriculture


Summary translation

Scopri le esperienze degli agricoltori sulle nuove forme di trattamento del letame, sulle innovazioni in un'azienda agricola senza bestiame, sulle sinergie di adattamento e biodiversità, sulla creazione di una cooperazione nel biogas, sulla coltivazione del concime verde, sull'uso dell'erba di sorgo sudanese nella rotazione, sull'erba permanente e sui vigneti, sugli uliveti e sul verde letame, sistemi di allevamento mobile, aspetti economici della creazione di aree di biodiversità, educazione pratica sul biogas e sulla produzione lattiero-casearia e sul benessere degli animali. La parte finale del documento tratta dell’integrazione di un’agricoltura rispettosa del clima e resiliente

EPrint Type:Practice tool
Teaser:How to implemented diverse climate-friendly and resilient farming practices to reduce GHG emissions.
What problem does the tool address?:Extreme temperatures and weather events during the last springs and summers have left no doubt about the relevance of climate change for the agriculture sector. Climate change is an issue that needs fast, efficient and easy to implement measures that help to reduce agricultural greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) in the European Union and at the same time, help farmers adapt to adverse consequences of unavoidable climate change risks. Further, other important sustainability goals, such as the protection of biodiversity, healthy water bodies and animal welfare should not be neglected at the cost of a better greenhouse gas emission balance.
Between 2013-2018, the project SOLMACC (Strategies for Organic- and Low-input-farming to Mitigate and Adapt to Climate Change) demonstrated on 12 farms in Italy, Germany, and Sweden that climate-friendly and resilient farming is possible and can provide valuable ecosystem services.
What solution does the tool offer?:This manual shows why organic farming has the potential to reduce GHG emissions in the EU and how SOLMACC farmers implemented diverse climate-friendly and resilient farming practices on their farm. Recommendations for farmers and farm advisors are given and further reading materials are presented.
