The aims to activate a confrontation between the players in an import/export chain that is fundamental to start a commercial and cultural channel between Emilia-Romagna and the Middle East.

It comes after a first stage (“A bridge to the East”) held in Italy on November 25, focused on knowledge of the context, which saw the “Emilia Romagna Mercati Rete Di Imprese” (which brings together the Centers Agribusiness of Parma, Bologna, Cesena and Rimini) and experts in logistics and shipping.

Il 20 febbraio, a EXPO DUBAI, presso lo spazio M-Eating Italy gestito da Fiere di Parma, i Clust-ER Agrifood e Greentech della Regione Emilia-Romagna organizzano un evento sull’impatto del settore agroindustriale su ambiente e clima.

L’evento è composto da un convegno e da una cena sostenibile presso il ristorante italiano stellato di M-Eating Italy che si trova nell’area tematica delle Opportunità, non lontano dal Padiglione Italia.

Un’opportunità per affrontare un tema attuale di rilevanza globale quale quello della necessità di produrre, distribuire e consumare il cibo in modo sostenibile, minimizzando gli impatti sul clima e sull’ambiente.

La crescita continua della popolazione mondiale, la necessità di produrre e mettere a disposizione di tutti cibo indispensabile alla salute e al benessere di ognuno, in un contesto di evidenti cambiamenti climatici ed eventi estremi che influiscono su ogni fase della catena di valore del sistema agroalimentare, rende sempre più necessario trovare soluzioni innovative a basso consumo energetico e minimo impatto ambientale. 

Questo tema si integra perfettamente con la partecipazione della Regione a Expo, nell’ambito della strategia ER GO GLOBAL 2021-2025, che intende valorizzare gli ambiti settoriali regionali digital, healthy, green, creative, in coerenza con le aree tematiche prioritarie dell’evento e con riferimento alla programmazione delle azioni previste dal Padiglione Italia.

“BIORISTOR” is an in vivo biosensor for plant sap monitoring

Agricoltura 4.0, Precision farming, Smart agriculture

28 February 2022

Bioristor is a biocompatible and flexible electrochemical device, which is inserted into the stem of the plants and is able to continuously and in real time monitor the composition of the plant sap. Plant sap is a liquid transported in the crystalline vessels of the plant (both xylem and phloem), the content of which is highly variable depending on the conditions in which the plant is found, influencing its physiological state. This technology allows to measure unprecedented data on the physiological condition of plants over a long period of time (the entire season).

Bioristor allows you to calculate the optimal irrigation, promptly detect drought stress and save up to 40% of water reserves. A fertilization optimization saves the fertilizers to be used by reducing soil pollution. Bioristor can also be used to prevent diseases and physiopathies, by understanding the health conditions of the plant.

During Expo 2020 Dubai, 16 biosensors will be installed inside the Giardino Italia to monitor different types of Mediterranean plants. The sensors will measure the health and irrigation status of the plants from the opening of the hall until the dedicated event of 26 February 2022, during which the CNR IMEM research group will present the results of all the recorded data and report on the characteristics of the measurements made for each plant.

The event dedicated to the SHARE (Sustainability Health and AgRicolturE) project aims at demonstrating that the agrifood model of the Emilia-Romagna Region adopts innovative solutions from farm to fork

The project, based on the educational offer proposed by the universities and on the innovative research in the agrifood field of the universities involved in the project, has the primary objective of strengthening the image of the Emilia-Romagna Region as an international center of scientific and technological research in a context like Expo.

During the two days in the Italy Pavilion, representatives from the Universities will demonstrate that the agrifood model of the Emilia-Romagna Region adopts innovative solutions to make the whole supply chain “from farm to fork”, that is: sustainable from a production, economic and environmental point of view; resilient to climate change, while preserving the quality and gastronomic tradition; attentive to the improvement of nutritional aspects related to health; highly innovative in all processes.

The main expected result is the strengthening of the image of the Region as an international center of scientific and technological research.

The project is therefore aimed at both students, academic staff and researchers, the wider public of citizens and visitors, but also local and international entrepreneurs and professionals in the agrifood sector who will visit EXPO Dubai. The method of implementation, based mainly on videos, will make the contents accessible to all, so that the promotion of the Emilia-Romagna regional system in the agrifood sector has the maximum diffusion.

Overcoming the distance, the increased possibility of creating bonds and interacting with the environment around us: the care, therefore, the protection and interaction between objects and human actions

The Internet of Things is a technological paradigm with boundless application potential, able to affect the competitiveness of companies, the efficiency of public administrations and quality of life, but also able to support the change in qualitative and decision-making processes towards sustainability by eliminating inefficiencies of production process or as a support to logistics or management and interaction with the objects that are closest to us.

Exponentially increasing the diffusion of intelligence in objects has allowed and will allow for better interaction and better control of environmental parameters, for example, or medical ones, thus reducing logistical, geographical or social constraints.

The pervasive aspect and the social impact that this area of ​​research will have on society returns and allows the realization of a beauty goal that has man, his relationships and the transversal horizon of his possibilities at its center. 

Through videos dedicated to individual aspects of the IoT and direct meetings with Professors and Researchers, the public of the Expo will be brought to the attention of the state of the art of some excellence of the universities of Emilia Romagna and the network of collaboration and interaction present that allow, make effective and bring out the knowledge network, applications and technologies developed.
