Agriculture and its environmental impact

Agriculture and livestock farming are now called upon to undergo a responsible transformation.

Jemma and the EcoCioffi project

The use of fertilisers, chemical treatments and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions make it urgent to adopt sustainable practices to combat climate change.

A partnership that sets a precedent

Since 1998, the Jemma Company has hosted the scientific activities of CNR-ISAFOM – the CNR Institute for Mediterranean Agricultural and Forestry Systems – under long-standing and fruitful collaboration agreements.

For Jemma, sustainability isn’t just a statement: it’s a daily practice, backed by science and shared online

Thanks to this partnership, the company plays an active role in major research projects:

National projects:

POM B36, NITROUS, ICAMED, Carboitaly

European projects:

CarboEurope-IP, NitroEurope, ICOS

FLUXNET permanent station

for the international monitoring of greenhouse gas emissions

What is EcoCioffi

A scientific and operational project in collaboration with CNR-ISAFOM that promotes eco-sustainable agricultural management.

Thanks to advanced technology, EcoCioffi monitors environmental parameters related to agriculture in real time:

All the data collected is freely available and can be viewed on the official website.

Project objectives

1. Reduce the environmental impact of agricultural activities

2. Provide farmers with useful tools for low-impact farming practices

3. Raising environmental awareness within the sector

4. Improving productivity in a sustainable way

Over 40 international scientific articles have been published thanks to the data collected in the field.

Parameters monitored in real time:

In the northern section of the field, which is served by the central pivot, CNR-ISAFOM continuously monitors the key environmental variables that influence the agroecosystem.

The parameters measured include air and soil temperature and humidity, wind speed and direction, precipitation and irrigation, total and photosynthetic solar radiation, heat flux and atmospheric turbulence.

Concentrations of gases such as CO₂, CH₄, N₂O and H₂O, as well as volatile organic compounds (VOCs), are also measured at high frequency; these are essential for assessing the impact of agricultural activities on the climate and air quality.
