3Bee Present Results of the Element-E Project for Biodiversity

Leone Alato and 3Bee dislike the outcomes of the Element-E task for biodiversity: innovation and conventional farming collaborate for regrowth

The initial favorable outcomes of Element-E, the biodiversity surveillance task of the Leone Alato Team and naturetech 3Bee, introduced simply over a year ago in the 3 ranches of the Generali Agrifood Holding in Portonovo (community of Medicina, Bologna), Spazzate (community of Conselice, Ravenna) and Costa Arènte (community of Grezzana, Verona).

The purpose of the task is to gauge, for the very first time, the biodiversity of a location in a clinically precise and prompt fashion, in order to make certain the preservation of the land, the high quality of manufacturing and the security of the setting.

The task is based upon the ingenious Element-E biodiversity monitoring protocol, established by 3Bee and qualified particularly by the Vegetation and Range innovations: the previous enables a location to be mapped, many thanks to AI and satellite photos, in order to approximate the prospective biodiversity of the environment and its viability for pollinators; the last, on the various other hand, enables the acoustic waves discharged by the pollinators existing in a location to be tape-recorded in order to analyze their amount and types.

The information that has actually arised from the research study until now is lovely. Actually, the surveillance reveals the high quality of the 3 locations examined: Vegetation innovation has actually shown the capacity to produce problems for pollinators, i.e. the bugs or various other non-living representatives that execute pollination, at Spazzate approximately 3 times greater than in the control location, +285%, contrasted to the surrounding land. Range, on the various other hand, validated the advantages of the regenerative methods used at Portonovo, with a +40% rise in the wealth of the entomofauna when contrasted to the control locations; at Costa Arènte, the favorable payment of the visibility of all-natural locations, whether timbers or fields, was understood a +100% rise in the wealth of the entomofauna, i.e. the bugs in a provided location, when contrasted to the control locations.

The individuality of the 3 estates examined depend on the tasks executed on them. In Portonovo, regenerative farming is practiced with supposed cover plants (i.e. plants that are made use of to maintain the land exposed, for instance throughout the winter season, which offer agroecological solutions such as dirt security, boosted fertility and
far more) and carbon farming (actually ‘carbon farming’: a cutting-edge means of farming to withdraw carbon in the dirt to ensure that it does not wind up in the ambience). Spazzate is a real sanctuary of biodiversity bordered by intensively farmed land. At Costa Arènte, there is a lasting winery with regulated yard in between the rows, with cruciferous and leguminous plants, embeded in a huge woody location.

Igor Boccardo, Chief Executive Officer of Leone Alato, claims: “The outcomes gotten after one year of trial and error are really favorable. Actually, by integrating conventional methods with one of the most sophisticated innovations, we have actually had the ability to attain a substantial rise in pollinators in the kept an eye on locations. In the tool term, the purpose is to prolong the surveillance to various other websites from 2024 onwards, in order to execute a wider and much more systemic analysis to specify a biodiversity improvement and regrowth method for the coming years. As Leone Alato, we wish to be a recommendation factor in the area of biodiversity, advertising research study, high quality manufacturing and regard for the setting”.

Niccolò Calandri, Chief Executive Officer of 3Bee, claims: “Confronted with the obstacle of dirt deterioration, which according to the European Union impacts approximately 73% of farming land, the value of ingenious services is much more noticeable than ever before. The partnership in between Leone Alato and 3Bee is a vital action in this instructions. At 3Bee, we are dedicated to establishing innovations that shield biodiversity, a crucial element of lasting farming. This collaboration is a concrete instance of just how farming can introduce by taking on methods that regard and improve the setting. A technique that lays the structures for even more resistant farming manufacturing attuned to nature”.

The combination of sophisticated remote surveillance innovations with ingenious farming methods to advertise biodiversity and healthy and balanced agro-ecosystems was the crucial element in accomplishing these outcomes.

Many thanks to the collaboration with 3Bee and making use of the ingenious Element-E surveillance method, Leone Alato is showing that it is feasible to attain a genuine and quantifiable effect via the growth of a significant regenerative farming task in Italy.

Simone Mazzola, COO of 3Bee, will certainly be taking the phase at London’s Globe Agri-Tech Development Top this September 30– October 1 to share much more on nature surveillance & coverage. Book your place to get in touch with him and the group on-site.
