The general objective of the FISH project is the introduction and diffusion in the main Ligurian crops of an innovative biostimulating product obtained from the waste of the animal and vegetable product supply chains of the territory itself

MAIN INTERDISCIPLINARY RESEARCH AREA IN UNISG: Environment
SDGs:
Description
The project aims to:
- improve the quality of agricultural land, in an area highly fragmented from the agricultural point of view;
- decrease the need for irrigation by improving the resistance of crops to water stress;
- study an alternative product to pesticides;
- favor the ideal biological conditions for the establishment of beneficial microorganisms, by reducing the phenomenon of groundwater pollution and eutrophication, also allowing to reduce the amount of fertilizers required;
- support, through microbial action, the growth of healthy plants, less sensitive to attacks by parasites, diseases and environmental stress.
UNISG is responsible for reconstructing, from a historical perspective, the framework of “alternative” fertilizers in use in some sample areas up to the general spread of bovine manure and synthetic fertilizers, and to carry out sensory evaluations on 2-3 products (e.g. potato, beans,
small fruits, grapes, oil) obtained following the use of the biostimulating product, in order to investigate its perception and acceptability by consumers. Furthermore, in collaboration with the other project partners, UNISG supports the development of circular economy strategies for food applied to the case study, analyzing the costs and benefits of the circular initiative and contributing to its communication to stakeholders.
