Environmental and sustainability assessment beyond carbon
Monitoring Biodiversity In Novel Low-Input Intercropping Systems for Bio-Based Feedstock
Short Introductive summary
To reduce our economy’s dependence on fossil carbon, there is a significant demand for biobased feedstock. MIDAS is testing the sustainability of cultivation systems with non-edible crops that can be grown on marginal lands and used as biomass feedstock. Here we want to present the intermediate results of work done in MIDAS EU project aimed at evaluating the potential contribution to biodiversity and ecosystem services of the introduction of novel innovative cropping systems in agricultural landscapes. The specific potential ecosystem services tested cover enhanced pollinator support and the cultivation of crops with high resistance or tolerance to pests and diseases, reducing the need for pesticides.
