Obbiettivi del progetto:

The MAIN OBJECTIVE of the project is research, testing and demonstration of new high – quality seeds, organically produced, by applying nanocomposites as a superficial bioactive substance (biologically active substances).

 

ORGANIC FARMING aims to harmonize dynamic interactions between soil, plants, animals and humans, or, in other words, between environmental, economic and social development of agro-ecosystems and human food needs. Being a type of sustainable agriculture, organic farming view can be expressed by a function type mini - max: maximizing production and minimizing the negative effects of agricultural activities. In this context, EU regulation requires that seeds and propagation material used in organic farming is produced organically. However, current demand of organic products cannot be filled with current seeds production and there is a real need to develop more available seeds produced organically and better suited for organic farming conditions.

 

Thus, INNOSEED PROJECT aims to develop new seeds for organic farming while their features are improved through the use of nanocomposite systems. Such nanocomposite systems can be used in a high variety of organic products such as arable farming (cereals) or horticulture (vegetables) – target of this project – and their best effect is obtained from average quality of soils, while their application has no restriction regarding climatic zones. But INNOSEED is also focused on fostering the circular economy as nanocomposites will be also obtained from wastes of agricultural production coming from other organic farming such as grape.
