Description du projet
Solutions pour la santé des sols et la réduction des pertes d’éléments nutritifs en agriculture
Dans les vastes espaces agricoles européens, maintenir la fertilité des sols tout en limitant les pertes d’éléments nutritifs constitue un défi. Alors que les agriculteurs sont confrontés à la complexité de la gestion intégrée de la fertilisation, une approche unifiée s’impose. Dans ce contexte, le projet STRATUS, financé par l’UE, vise à mettre en relation les conseillers de tout le continent. Plus précisément, STRATUS entend accélérer la création et le partage de connaissances, en aidant les agriculteurs à mettre en œuvre des pratiques durables conformes aux stratégies ambitieuses «de la ferme à la table» et en faveur de la biodiversité. En identifiant 48 bonnes pratiques, le projet soutiendra les agriculteurs et il encouragera l’adaptation locale par le biais de 10 communautés de pratique. Son objectif sera de promouvoir leur intégration dans les AKIS (Agricultural Knowledge and Innovation Systems) des États membres.
Objectif
STRATUS, extending over 60 months, aims to connect advisors across Europe for accelerating knowledge creation and sharing on Integrated Fertilization Management, supporting farmers to bring this knowledge into practice to achieve the ambition of the Farm to Fork and Biodiversity Strategies, thus reducing nutrient losses to the environment while maintaining soil fertility.
For this, STRATUS will create an EU-wide advisory network through the creation of three transnational sub-networks (Fertilization Innovation Networks - FIN) on Precision farming, Bio-based fertilisers and Soil quality (SQ) in which trained advisors will collect a total of 104 Good Practices (GPs) and Research Innovations (RIs) on optimal fertiliser use and will identify at least 48 Best Practices (BPs) as the result of the systemic feasibility assessment of the GPs and RIs . In addition, STRATUS will also ensure the integration of the advisors in the MS AKIS as well as the adaptation of the project work to the local conditions through the creation of 10 Communities of Practices (CoPs), in 10 partners countries, established with local AKIS actors, following the MA approach. Based on these BPs, STRATUS will develop 60 demonstrations and training material that will facilitate advisors to exchange knowledge, experiences and key challenges for advisory practice through Cross Visits in all MS and CoPs. All the knowledge generated in the project will become available through an inventory hosted in the digital platform of the STRATUS project. STRATUS will determine the model for the exploitation model of the platform besides the self-sustainability of the EU-wide advisory network .
STRATUS will cover all EU27 MS, eleven (11) MS are covered directly by project partners, while the other are covered through being members of EUFRAS and SEASN and project’s advisory organisations in charge of “mirroring” knowledge exchange.
