Development of efficient production processes with low or no waste production, precision and resilient agriculture for sustainability and phytosanitary protection of the productions with the aim of fostering the food system towards Climate Smart Agriculture models in order to improve the resilience to the climate change and to promote the reduction of production inputs and of greenhouse gas emissions.
Precision indoor farming (in closed /confined environment) for different uses, such as the production of fresh vegetables for industrial use (automated systems for fresh and fresh-cut products) household use (smart automated systems for families), for extreme environments (farming systems for "AgroSpace") and sanitary use (systems for the production of specific therapeutic products).
Use of renewable sources and improvment of the food system through planning and “cascade-type valorization” of biomasses, of agri-food waste.
Validation and application of diagnostic methods for food safety; qualification of the production; analysis and assessment of chemical and microbiological transformations in production processes; processing; preservation and packaging; identification and quantification of components and quality markers in order to demonstrate authenticity and origin of the agricultural food productions and to ensure their traceability.
