Multi-purpose optimization of the biological resources is the foundation for an efficient and a well-functioning circular bioeconomy.
A key goal of the research carried out at CBIO is therefore to achieve as high a value as possible of biomass from agriculture while minimizing resource loss and reactive emissions to the environment.
CBIO’s research in the area “Production and management of agricultural biomass” is divided into three main themes:
We carry out research in optimising the combination of existing crops – crop rotations and innovating crop production systems with not yet domesticated or not that known plants. Finally, we focus on optimizing agro-technical management to achieve both good yields and low emissions to the environment.
With plant breeding we aim to maximise yield under various environmental and production conditions and achieve the values and the traits desired for biorefining.
Our researchers also focus on optimising the nature contents in intensive and extensive production systems in terms of restoration, biodiversity and valorization.
