The Centre advises the MASAF on contaminated or polluted soils (e.g. land of fires); it participates in technical task forces for the transfer of innovation in biology by participatory approach (researchers, MASAF, Federbio, Firab, AIAB,...); it supports the PQAI and DISR V - MASAF offices for drafting technical-scientific position papers to be presented at national and European level in response to the research actions activated.

The history of the Center AA
AGRICOLTURE AND ENVIRONMENT
The history of the Center
The Centre for Agriculture and Environment Research was formally established in June 2017, following the reform of CREA (formerly C.R.A.) consisting in merging the C.R.A. Research Units in Rome, Bari, Florence and Bologna.
The administrative headquarters of CREA-AA is in Rome, via della Navicella, where formerly the Research Centre for the Study of Plant-Soil Relations (CREA-RPS) and the Research Unit for Agriculture-Applied Climatology and Meteorology (CREA-CMA) were based. CREA-AA includes also the researchers from the agro-economy department (formerly INEA) studying issues consistent with the Centre's mission.
The Florence Research Centre for Agrobiology and Pedology (CREA-ABP) moved from the palace in Piazza Massimo D'Azeglio to the headquarters of Cascine del Riccio, belonging to a different research Center (CREA-DC).
The same Research Centre AA embraces the Beekeeping and Bachiculture Research Unit (CREA-API) and those researchers from the Research Centre for Industrial Crops (CREA-CIN) in Bologna dealing with modelling.
CREA-AA includes also the Research Unit for Dry Farming Systems (CREA-SCA), based in Bari.
