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

Leone Alato and 3Bee feel bitter the outcomes of the Element-E job for biodiversity: innovation and typical farming collaborate for regrowth

The very first favorable outcomes of Element-E, the biodiversity surveillance job of the Leone Alato Team and naturetech 3Bee, released 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 objective of the job is to determine, for the very first time, the biodiversity of a location in a medically exact and prompt fashion, in order to make sure the preservation of the land, the top quality of manufacturing and the defense of the atmosphere.

The task is based upon the cutting-edge Element-E biodiversity monitoring protocol, created by 3Bee and qualified particularly by the Plants and Range innovations: the previous enables a location to be mapped, many thanks to AI and satellite pictures, 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 taped in order to examine their amount and types.

The information that has actually arised from the research study up until now is complementary. Actually, the surveillance reveals the top quality of the 3 locations examined: Plants innovation has actually shown the capability to develop problems for pollinators, i.e. the bugs or various other non-living representatives that accomplish pollination, at Spazzate approximately 3 times more than in the control location, +285%, contrasted to the surrounding land. Range, on the various other hand, verified 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 an offered location, when contrasted to the control locations.

The originality of the 3 estates examined hinge on the tasks accomplished 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, as an example throughout the winter season, which offer agroecological solutions such as dirt defense, enhanced fertility and
far more) and carbon farming (actually ‘carbon farming’: a cutting-edge means of farming to withdraw carbon in the dirt to make sure that it does not wind up in the environment). 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 incorporating typical strategies with one of the most sophisticated innovations, we have actually had the ability to accomplish a considerable rise in pollinators in the kept track of locations. In the tool term, the objective is to prolong the surveillance to various other websites from 2024 onwards, in order to accomplish a wider and much more systemic evaluation to specify a biodiversity improvement and regrowth technique for the coming years. As Leone Alato, we intend to be a referral factor in the area of biodiversity, advertising research study, top quality manufacturing and regard for the atmosphere”.

Niccolò Calandri, Chief Executive Officer of 3Bee, claims: “Confronted with the difficulty of dirt destruction, which according to the European Union influences approximately 73% of farming land, the relevance of cutting-edge services is much more obvious than ever before. The cooperation in between Leone Alato and 3Bee is a crucial action in this instructions. At 3Bee, we are devoted to establishing innovations that secure 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 enhance the atmosphere. A technique that lays the structures for even more resistant farming manufacturing attuned to nature”.

The combination of sophisticated remote surveillance innovations with cutting-edge 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 cutting-edge Element-E surveillance method, Leone Alato is showing that it is feasible to accomplish an actual and quantifiable effect with the advancement of a significant regenerative farming job 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.
