Large areas of Southern, Central, and Eastern Europe and North Africa are estimated to face (very) high risks of desertification, partly due to accelerating climate change. Innovative nature-based social and technological solutions will be crucial for …

Horizon Europe Path4Med Project: Demonstrating innovative pathways to address water and soil pollution in the Mediterranean agrohydrological …

H2020 CLARA Project: Climate-enabled knowledge services …

From rural residents raising backyard chickens to farmers with thousands of head of livestock, animal health is the first priority. The EU-funded HoloFood project will use a novel hologenome approach to study animal health by considering their biochemical …

Currently, industrial formulations are based on fossil-based surfactants and polymers. However, the EU Green Deal advocates for a transition to new chemicals based on sustainable and natural compounds, but research in this area is still in its early …

The EU's transition to a more sustainable and circular economy depends on efforts to minimize waste generation. A more circular plastics economy plays a key role in this transition. The EU-funded RECOVER project aims to address the accumulation of …

How, how much, why, when, and where are species affected by climate change? The answers to these questions are key to assessing a species' vulnerability to climate change. This is the first step in developing conservation strategies. The EU-funded …

The FAIR data principles state that data should be findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable. Given the ever-increasing volumes and complexity of data, these guidelines are more timely than ever. The EU-funded AD4GD project aims to maximize the …

High-latitude terrestrial ecosystems play an important role in the carbon budget. However, how global warming affects their carbon cycle is difficult to measure due to the combined forces of hydrology, soil temperature, and biogeochemical processes. …

Livestock farming is crucial to Europe's rural economy, but it also causes air and water pollution. Livestock farming is the main source of ammonia and methane emissions in Europe. Current manure management causes soil and water pollution problems. …

Resilience is the ability of ecosystems to withstand disturbances, a crucial trait for adapting to climate change and increasing aridity. This is especially vital for drylands, where crossing aridity thresholds can lead to sudden and dramatic changes. …

Supported by the Marie Skododowska-Curie Actions programme, the DREAM-PLAN project addresses the pressing need for interdisciplinary research aimed at delivering practical solutions to climate-related challenges, as well as the imperative demand for a …

PRECIOUS is a European project that goes beyond qualitative micro-level studies by applying a systemic and multidimensional approach to transform the way we address food loss and waste (FLW). With 18 partners in 11 countries, the EU-funded PRECIOUS …

The production of solar fuels through artificial photosynthetic processes is a major scientific and engineering challenge due to its complexity. All the approaches described to date open new avenues for improving photocatalytic CO2 reduction, but new …

The excessive use of synthetic fertilizers has severely disrupted the nitrogen and phosphorus cycles, leading to soil degradation and environmental pollution. These practices have compromised soil health, water quality, and biodiversity, posing …
