On September 7, the second webinar of the \u201cMICROCLIMATT Operational Group: Microalgae for productive and sustainable agriculture\u201d was held. The event, which had the participation of nearly 200 professionals from the agri-food sector, served to publicize the most recent advances of this innovative project. Biostimulants act on the physiology of the plant in different ways and through different routes to improve the vigor of the crop, the yield and quality of the harvest. The MICROCLIMATT project aims to demonstrate the effectiveness of innovative biostimulant solutions derived from microalgae to efficiently combat the effects of climate change on highly important crops, such as tomatoes and wheat. To this end, it is carrying out demonstration trials on increasing carbon fixation, resistance to water stress and reducing the use of chemical fertilizers in agriculture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, two additional presentations of Operational Groups were made that are also being developed in the context of the 2020 Call for the Execution of Projects of General Interest by Operational Groups of the European Innovation Association in terms of agricultural productivity and sustainability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The SUBALMA Operational Group focuses its work on improving the productivity and sustainability of underground drip irrigation systems that use oil mill waste as fertilizer through the use of nanobubbles. SUBALMA innovates in the sustainability of irrigation systems through improvements in current circular economy application techniques. The soul of the project is none other than to favor these strategies by betting on more efficient models in the use of resources that producers apply to achieve agriculture that is more resistant to climate change. The olive oil sector is a strategic sector in Spain, and GO Subalma offers an alternative to introduce new techniques in the production value chain and take advantage of the European impulse to travel along the paths of circularity within the framework of sustainability. .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For its part, the PROTEINLEG Operational Group aims to develop high-quality food proteins through the sustainable production and processing of legume crops. In line with the current trend towards healthier and more environmentally friendly foods for both human and animal consumption, PROTEINLEG will use legume crops as a basis to develop new sources of foods rich in plant proteins that are healthy, tasty and attractive. The legume varieties used will be grown in an innovative, cost-effective and resource-efficient way using optimized and sustainable production and processing methods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Agriculture occupies a unique position at the center of society, the environment and the economy, in such a way that the MICROCLIMATT, SUBALMA and PROTEINLEG Operational Groups share the same objective and develop projects that improve agriculture, making it more efficient and resistant to climate change in a way aligned with the Common Agricultural Policy of the European Union.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

About <\/strong>AlgaEnergy<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

AlgaEnergy is a biotechnology-based company specialized exclusively in the microalgae sector. The company consolidates the deep knowledge that exists in Spain in the science of microalgae, generated by universities and other research centers over the last five decades. With a strong investment in R&D&i, it has positioned itself as the international reference in this field. AlgaEnergy's mission is to develop and market innovative and high-quality solutions, based on microalgae, that are aimed at responding to the specific needs in different industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

About <\/strong>IBVF<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Institute of Plant Biochemistry and Photosynthesis (IBVF) is a Joint Center of the University of Seville and the CSIC, which aims to study the biology of photosynthetic organisms responsible for the primary production of organic matter and oxygen in the biosphere. A singularity that distinguishes the IBVF from other centers in the field of biotechnology and plant biology is addressing the study of phototrophic biology in all its complexity, that is, using all types of photosynthetic organisms (cyanobacteria, microalgae and plants). Scientific activity at the IBVF focuses on molecular and cellular biology of photosynthetic organisms, as well as \u201comic\u201d techniques (transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics) and big data analysis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

About <\/strong>CEBAS<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The CEBAS-CSIC seeks to contribute, through research, to generating the necessary knowledge that allows developing strategies to achieve the Sustainability of the fragile resources existing in semi-arid areas, managing them correctly and making possible in that environment, the development of a sustainable agriculture. quality and obtaining healthy and safe plant foods. The research carried out will help to address problems such as water scarcity, provide a better environment (reduction of the greenhouse effect, conservation of soil and vegetation, as well as organic matter and carbon), thus guaranteeing sustainable, intelligent agriculture, and adapted to climate change, with the capacity to mitigate it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

About <\/strong>HANDLE<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Asaja (Young Farmers Agrarian Association) was created in 1989 as a result of the merger agreement of CNAG, CNJA and UFADE. It is a professional agricultural organization in Spain, with more than 850 offices spread throughout the national territory. It has a National Headquarters located in Madrid, 15 Regional centers, 40 provincial offices and 810 local offices, as well as a permanent representative office in Brussels. Asaja is established for the representation, management, defense and promotion of the professional interests of the agricultural sector in general and its member organizations with full legal personality and subject to strictly democratic principles. As a national organization with a general vocation, it integrates within it all branches of agricultural activity in its agricultural, livestock, forestry, environmental management and hunting activities. The national office is made up of a technical department (each specialized in a specific subject), labor-fiscal department, communication department and the training department.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
