Non-productive investments? Worth the investment!

Op 1 juli 2021 ging het demo-project ‘Niet-productieve investeringen: De investering waard!’ van start. In het kader van dit project willen we meer bekendheid creëren rond VLIF-steun voor niet- productieve investeringen en fruittelers en landbouwers hiervoor sensibiliseren. Onder meer maatregelen voor bevordering van biodiversiteit (hagen, houtkanten, nestkasten, bijenhotels,…), erosievermindering (dammen) en verbeterd waterbeheer/betere waterkwaliteit (peilgestuurde […]

Soya-free pigs and chickens

support@creativitijd.be

Global warming and its evolution is one of the main policy priorities in Flanders and Europe. The next few years are crucial in reducing CO2 emissions and adapting to the changing climate. The agricultural sector also has an important role to play here and is under pressure to reduce its ecological footprint.

Drought maps for potato and maize

support@creativitijd.be

The project aims to draw up drought maps and link these to concrete follow-up operations, such as variable planting/sowing/irrigation/fertilisation. In the context of the drought/heat problems we have been facing more and more in recent years, and which are likely to increase in the future, this project wants to focus on drought-sensitive crops, especially maize

Integrated management of tuberous cyperus (Cyperus esculentus)

Lore Luys

In recent years, PVL has been making additional efforts on research, projects and knowledge moments in the context of tuber cyperus spread and control. Recently, these efforts translated into an important partnership within the newly approved VLAIO project on this weed. A VLAIO project is a very large scaled-up project and is currently the largest tuber cyperus research project in

Evaluation of the potential of local water capture and storage measures for agriculture in Limburg

support@creativitijd.be

The project 'Evaluation of the potential of local water-capture and storage measures for agriculture in Limburg' started on 1 March 2021. This project was approved within the Drought Innovation Fund (DIF). This fund was established by the Province of Limburg in 2020 to make the Limburg agriculture and horticulture sector more resilient to

Potential for protein transition with field beans grown locally

support@creativitijd.be

This project aims to transfer experiences in growing and feeding field beans from organic farms to conventional cattle and dairy farms and from the arable region in the west to the east of Flanders. The target audience includes both conventional arable farmers and beef (dairy) cattle farmers. The first focus will be on the cultivation technique of winter field beans. Through demonstration trial fields, the

Sustainable products from the Limburg landscape

support@creativitijd.be

A local food system with quality products is gaining more and more interest. Consequently, sales of short-chain products are on the rise. The fact that consumers are once again interested in straight-from-the-farm products is a positive trend. To give the short-chain story extra added value and make it more sustainable, it is of

Musical pigs: adding value by stimulating desired animal behaviour through music

support@creativitijd.be

In addition to pig farmers and society at large, consumers, processors and retailers have increasingly focused on animal welfare in recent years. This includes not only focusing on removing negative experiences, but also adding positive ones such as having music played in the stall. A pioneer in this field started

Structural approach to specific bottlenecks towards good water quality

support@creativitijd.be

The new manure action plan (MAP 6) has taken several new measures to improve surface water quality in Flanders. The European objective stipulates that surface water at 95% of all monitoring points should contain less than 50 mg Nitrate per L. In MAP 6, Flanders has given that directive a different interpretation by

Towards better soil quality with agriculture and nature

support@creativitijd.be

The organic matter content of Flemish agricultural soils shows a clearly declining trend. This is negative for soil quality and future yield assurance. The declining organic matter content is a trend that we can now observe for about 30 years. 30 years ago there was also a turnaround in fertiliser policy with the first Nitrates Directive in
