dissemination of results and the possible demonstration phase.
• Calls: SFS-1A; SFS-1C; SFS-2A; SFS-2B; SFS-3A; SFS-4; SFS-5;
SFS-7A; SFS-13; SFS-19; ISIB-2; ISIB-4B, WASTE-2 and WASTE-7.
Waste calls are listed in the ‘Climate action, environment, resource
efficiency and raw materials’ work programme.
03-2013 DM
An Example: SFS-2-2014/2015 -
Sustainable Crop Production. Research and
Innovation.
• Spesific Challenge:
• Loss of soil fertility and the consequent massive use of expensive
external nutrient inputs, notably Nitrogen and Phosphorous, for which
European agriculture is almost totally dependent on imported products,
or on fertilizers produced with expensive industrial processes, which
generates greenhouse gases (GHGs).
• Economic losses for farmers
• Burden on environment
• Impact on human health
• Scope:
• Proposals should address one of the following issues (A) and (B), and
should clearly indicate to which one they refer.
03-2013 DM
A. [2014] External nutrient inputs
• Proposals should find innovative and effective strategies
to improve the management of external nutrient
inputs and water, and optimise their use efficiency at
farm level to improve both yield and quality. Novel
approaches could include advanced automation,
variable rate applications, remote sensing, field and
crop sensors, ICT technologies. In-field
demonstration to prove concept feasibility should also
be foreseen. Proposals should fall under the concept of
'multi-actor approach'.
.
03-2013 DM
B. [2015] Assessing soil-improving cropping
systems
• Proposals should assess real benefits (reduced energy needs and
GHG emissions) that soil-improving cropping systems and
agronomic techniques, e.g. precision farming, crop rotations,
Conservation agriculture, can bring to European agriculture.
Proposals should also identify and minimise limitations and
drawbacks which may include increased weeds, soil pathogens
and problems with certain types of crops in relation to climatic
conditions. Scientifically supported and field tested evidences of
the mentioned beneficial effects as well as of drawbacks and
methods to minimise them, are needed. The development of tailor-
made soil-improving strategies, techniques and machinery
suitable to different farming areas and adapted to different crops
and crop systems, should help to overcome the current barriers
that prevent their adoption by European farmers. Proposals should
fall under the concept of 'multi-actor approach'
03-2013 DM
• Expected Impact: Proposals should show how some, or all, of the
following impacts will be achieved:
– Improvement of ground and surface water quality.
– Reduction of soil contaminations with toxic compounds and heavy
metals.
– Conservation of biodiversity and wildlife.
– Improved human health, through the reduced release of pollutants and
GHGs.
– Scientific support to relevant EU policies
– Sound scientific evaluation of benefits and drawbacks of soil-
improving cropping systems and techniques.
– Reduction of soil erosion and improvement of soil quality and structure
– Increased European farmers’ competitiveness through the reduction
of production costs.
– Reduction of the negative environmental impact of crop production
through less soil disturbance, better exploitation of soil biodiversity and
functions and more rational use of external inputs, water and natural
resource base.
03-2013 DM
• The Commission considers that proposals requesting a contribution
from the EU in the range of EUR 8 million for (A) and EUR 9 million
for (B) would allow this specific challenge to be addressed
appropriately. Nonetheless, this does not preclude submission and
selection of proposals requesting other amounts.
• The conditions related to this topic are provided at the end of this
call and in the General Annexes.
03-2013 DM
