GREENHOOD aims to reduce nutrient losses by 50%, in line with:
The EU Biodiversity Strategy
The Farm to Fork Strategy
The Zero Pollution Action Plan
The Blue Economy Strategy
The Upcoming EU Integrated Nutrient Management Action Plan
The concept
Through the development of regionally anchored and participatory nutrient management strategies for reducing nutrient losses in soil, water and air.
These strategies will:
From concept to reality
GREENHOOD demonstrators are designed to foster a dynamic and collaborative learning environment.
Demo-regions’ work will focus on the following shared activities:
-
Novel balancing cross-sectoral value chains for Bio-Based Fertilizers
Covering inter-cross and cross-national regional cases
-
Optimised nutrient budgeting methodologies
Leveraging on novel nutrient models
-
Technological and goverance/business innovations
Co-designed with regional stakeholders
-
Knowledge sharing activities across the demo-regions
With lessons learned disseminated at European level
From reality to results
Evolving into a flagship initiative, with a multi-disciplinary and participatory approach to nutrient management in various regions.
-
Demonstrate nutrient balancing techniques and practices
Each regional hotspot will test various technical solutions to recover nutrients and reduce nutrient pollution
-
Define optimised regional nutrient budgets
Each demo will study present nutrient budgets and develop optimised nutrient models
-
Develop novel governance and business models
Each region will develop tailored policy recommendations aiming to support the deployment of nutrient balancing techniques
