The first works of the European project on the deterioration of the soils in vineyards are presented
The researchers Manuel Seeger and Thomas Iserloh from the University of Trier defended two scientific communications on crop diversification in the Central European Conference on Geomorphology and Quaternary Sciences held from the 23rd to the 27th of September in Giessen (Germany). As representatives of the Diverfarming project, financed by the European commission within the H2020 programme, the researchers showed the clear relationship between crop diversification and the soil structures.

The Cordoba team of the European Diverfarming project have begun sowing saffron in the olive grove’s alleys
Andalusian olive groves suffer from the loss of earth. The gullies that rip up the terrain in which the olive trees grow are appearing in more and more plots, leaving the farmers without soil and, therefore, without a productive harvest. The large amount of erosion in these terrains and the low amount of organic matter of the bare soils arise as two of the main causes of run-off damage.

The research team of the European Diverfarming project will analyse what the best combinations of crops are to improve the profitability of olive groves
Crop diversification and the search for improvements in both the economic profitability as well as in the environmental sustainability of European farms will be the protagonists in one of the “Science Patios” framed within the European Researchers’ Night that will take place on Friday 28th September at 9pm.
