Deliverables

Documents, reports (10)

Synthesis report and policy recommendations

Final and overall synthesis of nature-based solutions for sustainable nutrient management that includes implementation approaches and innovative policy-incentive recommendations.

Plan for the dissemination, exploitation, and communication (PDEC) release 2

A final draft of the plan for dissemination, exploitation, and communication of the ECONUTRI technologies and innovations, based on D1.1, and a midterm report on all dissemination, exploitation and communication actions implemented during the 1st project period (M1 to M18).

Practice Abstract batch 2

This deliverable contains 15 practice abstracts describing the main recommendations for end-users using the EIP AGRI format which will be submitted to the EIP-AGRI platform for further dissemination.

EU-China collaboration report release 2

Final report on EU-China collaboration in: i) validating and demonstrating novel ECONUTRI technologies, ii) prospects for their commercial exploitation, iii) knowledge exchange and training on solutions developed during the project.

Plan for the dissemination, exploitation, and communication (PDEC) release 1

Preliminary draft of an integrated work plan aiming to i) disseminate the innovative technologies tested and validated during the project, ii) upscale their application, iii) commercially exploit these technologies, and iv) communicate all findings and products, obtained from the project to stakeholders and a wide public of professionals, consumers and society.

Policy brief 1

One policy brief directed to decision-makers defining transformation pathways to halt environmental pollution by nitrate leaching and phosphorus (P) runoff from agricultural activities.

EU-China collaboration report release 1

Preliminary results from the collaboration between EU and China in validation and demonstration of the ECONUTRI technologies, initial outcomes about possible cooperation in exploiting project technologies, and collaborations between EU and China in knowledge exchange and training.

Report (incl. at least three case studies) on the socioeconomic context and responsible innovation

Report of (a) socioeconomic studies focused on consumers' understanding of the socioeconomic sustainability of the three innovations tested in D5.1, and (b) studies of consumers’ preference for food from sustainable agricultural production with minimal polluting emissions.

Policy brief 2

One policy brief directed to decision-makers defining transformation pathways to considerably reduce environmental impacts due to Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions arising from agriculture.

Practice Abstract batch 1

This deliverable contains 15 practice abstracts describing the main recommendations for end-users using the EIP AGRI format, which will be submitted to the EIP-AGRI platform for further dissemination.
