BAB 063/22: Communicating roots: co-learning to improve rural resilience and governance - CoROOTS (ERASMUS+ Projekt)
Initial situation The project was applied for on the initiative of the Prout Research Institute in Portugal in order to enable a scientific exchange of co-learning approaches developed in research projects in recent years, to further disseminate these approaches in regional development, to implement them concretely and also to develop them further. The BAB will contribute its results from the H2020 projects SIMRA, RO-BUST and Liverur on the topics of social innovation and living lab...
BAB 066/23: Empowering Rural Communities to Act for Change - RURACTIVE (Horizon Europe Projekt)

The disparities between urban and rural communities in demographic, economic and social terms are the subject of scientific projects and political programmes. It is necessary to empower rural areas to compensate for disadvantages and to make greater use of potentials with innovative solutions (green and digital transformation). The EU climate and environmental...

Initial situation Agrarmarkt Austria publishes the sales volumes of the pure nutrients nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P2O5) and potash (K2O) on a quarterly basis. LBG Österreich GmbH collects the annual application quantities of pure nutrients from mineral fertilisers from the farms voluntarily accounting for the Green Report. As part of a short study by the Federal Institute of Agricultural Economics in 2016, the pure nutrient requirement of Austrian agriculture was determined on the basis of...

The COST Action will be implemented in 26 European participating countries with the aim of supporting networking between research institutions and practitioners aiming at overcoming the marginalisation of mountain areas. Innovative actions will be developed through a series of physical and virtual...
BAB 059/22: Regional agricultural value chains
Initial situation Covid-19 and the Ukraine crisis have brought food supply chains back into the public eye. The project "Scenarios on the vulnerability of the Austrian food supply due to the consequences of Covid-19" was included in the 2020 AOD work programme, and this was continued with the project "RESILIENZ - Corona crisis and agricultural and forestry value chains - lessons learned" in the 2021 and 2022 work programme. From the "RESILIENZ" research project just mentioned, work package...
BAB 062/22: Rural Sustainability Transitions through Integration of Knowledge for improved policy processes - RUSTIK
Horizon Europe Projekt The project has been tendered in the Horizon Europe Programme under the thematic area of promoting "resilient rural communities" under the title "Grasping rural diversity and strengthening evidence for tailored policies enhancing the contribution of rural communities to ecological, digital and social transitions (RIA)" (CL6-2021-COMMUNITIES-01-01). In view of insufficient impacts and the increasing challenges posed by social and ecological developments, this call for...
BAB 058/22: Feed Balance
Initial situation With the spread of the Covid 19 pandemic in March 2020, weaknesses in the Austrian and global economic systems became apparent. The research project COVID-19 Lessons learnt was therefore initiated to create evidence to ensure the management of the Covid-19 pandemic in agriculture and forestry. The COVID-19 Lessons learnt research project consisted of 16 sub-projects, 14 of which have already been completed. The feed balance sub-project is now being continued as an...
BAB 061/22: Relief for agricultural und forestry sector within the framework of national emissions certificate trading
Within the framework of the eco-social tax reform of 2022, a gradual introduction of a national emission allowance trading system (nEHS) is planned, starting with an introductory phase from 1 July 2022. In connection with the introduction of the nEHS, a relief mechanism will be created to offset the additional costs from the CO2 price for agriculture and forestry. This is to ensure that domestic food production is not disadvantaged in relation to European and international competition....
BAB 057/22: Processing capacities for oilseeds and protein crops in Austria
Initial situation Not only against the background of the current Covid-19 pandemic has the cultivation of protein crops in Austria, its development potential and the associated security of supply become the focus of numerous discussions and initiatives. Despite increased cultivation areas in Austria (e.g. doubling of soybean cultivation areas), there is still a dependence on imports for plant protein. One goal of the Protein Strategy 2030 presented in July 2021 is to secure the supply of...
BAB 060/22: Converting Farm Accountancy Data Network (FADN) into Farm Sustainability Data Network (FSDN)
The Farm Accountancy Data Network (FADN) has been collecting economic data from farms for decades. With the reorientation of the EU agricultural policy towards more sustainability (ecology, biodiversity as well as the social dimension), the FADN is to be converted into an information network on agricultural sustainability (FSDN). Objective To assess the feasibility of collecting farm-level data for a range of sustainability issues, e.g. Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) objectives, Farm to...
BAB 056/22: Applying an agri-food systems approach
Basic principles and an analysis using the example of conflicting goals in land use Initial situation UN Sustainable Development Goals, the European Green Deal (with the "Farm To Fork" strategy, the 2030 Biodiversity Strategy), etc. are responses to societal challenges. The goals pursued and measures taken have an impact on the agricultural, environmental and food sectors, among others. However, the demands on these areas (e.g. food security, extensive cultivation, ecosystem services) and...
