Circular Agriculture to improve sustainable food production

Circular agriculture aims to reduce external inputs to farms whilst maintaining production and profit.


In the past mixed crop livestock farming, a system that grows crops and raise livestock on the same farm, was common. However, driven by economy competitiveness and agricultural policy, production has become more specialized and less connected. This video summarize how circular agriculture can improve sustainable productions compared to more intensive farming systems.

Norbert Pirk, researcher at Universitetet i Oslo (UiO), demonstrates which drones they have available and plan to use in CircAgric-GHG. The project will use various remote sensing technologies to detect CH4 and CO2 fluxes from landscapes and animals.

Europeiske og afrikanske bønder skal lære hverandre å bli mer miljøvennlige

Forskere fra åtte land skal undersøke hva europeiske og afrikanske bønder kan lære av hverandre. Prosjektet CircAgric-GHG skal gi økt kunnskap om resirkulering og smart ressursbruk, samt metoder for å redusere klimagassutslipp fra gårder og beite.
