EJP SOIL ARTEMIS Workshop “Data analytics methods and tools to assess cropping system sustainability and soil ecosystem services” - EJP SOIL ARTEMIS Workshop “Data analytics methods and tools to assess cropping system sustainability and soil ecosystem services” - Agriculture and Environment

In the framework of the H2020 EJP SOIL programme, ARTEMIS project, coordinated by Dr. Klaus Jarosch (Agroscope, Switzerland) and co-coordinated by Dr. Claudia Di Bene (CREA, Italy), organises a 5-day face-to-face workshop at CREA – Research Centre for Agriculture and Environment (CREA-AA), Rome (Italy), from 25th to 29th September. 

The workshop aims to transfer knowledge and tools to assess the effects of agroecological practices on crop yield stability, carbon sequestration, and N2O emissions, in representative European herbaceous cropping systems, using meta-analysis, soil-plant modelling, and trade-offs analysis approach, under current and future climate change scenarios.  

The workshop is organised in theoretical lectures, hands-on sessions, and methods application to real case studies. The workshop is limited to 25 participants that are involved in the projects co-funded by the EJP SOIL programme.  

Admission to the workshop is guaranteed by the evaluation of the registration form, which must be filled in by July 15th 2023, at the link https://forms.gle/7xoAAxRcnsmRpq9QA 

The workshop will consist of three modules: 

Module 1: Research synthesis and meta-analysis (1.5-day; 25-26 September) 

Module 2: Trade-off analysis to identify the best agroecological practices to increase carbon sequestration, guarantee crop yield stability, reduce N2O emissions and NO3- leaching (1.5-day; 26-27 September).  

Module 3: Using the process-based ARMOSA model to simulate the effect of agroecological practices in representative European herbaceous cropping systems, under current and future climate change scenarios (2-days; 28-29 September). 

At the end of the workshop, attendees will receive a certificate of attendance (30 hours).
