Description
The RECEC project evaluates regenerative agricultural practices that allow CO₂ storage in soils using organic amendments, following the methodology of the LIFE AMDRYC4 project. It also studies new plant and marine byproducts to improve agricultural soils within a circular economy framework.
Results
Environmental benefits include: climate change mitigation (carbon sequestration), improved soil fertility (increased macro- and micronutrients), increased moisture retention, and reuse of plant waste/byproducts. Socioeconomic benefits include: valorization of dryland and irrigated plant waste, savings on fertilizers, reduced carbon footprint, and support for rural communities. Carbon sequestration increased across the 10 experimental plots (6 m²), with an average value of 4.4 per 1000/year (exceeding the initiative's target of 4 per 1000). The sequestered carbon averaged 1.23 t/ha-year, with variations observed depending on the amount of biomass/plant waste applied.
