Summary
Successful proposals are expected to contribute to a better analytical tools and capacity to integrate the use of fossil energy and energy-intensive inputs in mineral fertilisers from the farming sector.
Detailed Call Description
Proposals should:
- Use foresight methods to elaborate scenarios of fossil energy and mineral fertiliser use evolution and dependence. Where available, reference scenarios of the European Commission (DG ENER) should be used to advance the state of the art;
- Improve the capacity of models to take into account direct and indirect energy uses and prices;
- Cover both macro and micro levels in the analysis. At the micro-economic level linkages should be established with the Farm Sustainability Data Network (FSDN) under development by the European Commission;
- Develop tools to support farmers’ decision-making for optimal use of energy and mineral fertiliser, to improve economic, environmental and climate performance of farming systems.
