The Miguel Hernandez University organized a series of seminars in November and December 2020, aimed at students of the Degree courses in Agri-food and Agri-environmental Engineering and students of the Master’s Degree in Advanced Techniques for Research and Production in Fruit Growing.
During the meetings the objectives and expected results of the LIFE SUBSED project were illustrated. The students were also able to investigate the more technical aspects of the trials in progress in the Italian and Spanish experimental sites, evaluating the potential of marine sediment as an ingredient for sustainable nursery substrates.
The activities of the LIFE SUBSED project continue at the sites of the Italian and Spanish beneficiaries! Despite the difficulties related to the management of the COVID-19 pandemic and the delays in the progress of the planned actions, cultivation trials are progressing in parallel with the collection and analysis of data.
Here are some photos relating to the cultivation trials currently underway in Italy.

Dr. Francesca Tozzi of Pescia’s CREA-OF conducted the online seminar “Riuso di sedimenti marini come substrato di crescita per l’orticoltura e il florovivaismo: i progetti Life Hortised e Subsed” (Reuse of marine sediments as a growth substrate for horticulture and horticulture: the Life Hortized and Subsed projects).
During the seminar the objectives and results obtained and expected from the two LIFE projects were presented. Both the project are committed to the reuse of marine sediments as a basis for the creation of sustainable substrates for horticulture and horticulture.
The seminar represented an opportunity for comparison and discussion on the issue of the circular economy in the agricultural and nursery sector and on future prospects in terms of environmental sustainability in these sectors.
Below are the slides presented by Dr. Tozzi.
