Research for partnership in the field of Circular Economy

The ISAFoM is a research organized to be competitive and integrated in the international european and national domestic research system, The research primary strategic objective is the integration of agronomic knowledge, ecological and technological and the development of tools for the sustainable management of the environment characterized by Mediterranean climate.
The ISAFoM aims to contribute to sustainable development of the agricultural and forestry system in consideration of the effects of climate change by following several strategies: a) integration of the research conducted in the different research Unit of the Institute on specific aspects of the biological and ecological balances in view of their application for optimal agricultural production and for conservation of forest resources in regions with a Mediterranean climate; b) intensification of research on the enhancement and innovation of agro-food production and forestry, with particular attention to their global quality; c) cultivation and use of no-food production for energy, green chemistry and bio-refinery; d) study of methods of the effects of the atmosphere and climate of the present and future on productive behavior and interactions with the natural and human environment of crops and forests
The multidisciplinary and specific scientific skills that were transferred to ISAFOM at the time of its formation, lead the research to be conducted on various topics that are expressed in national research projects, regional, and international collaborations with specifications and agreements with Italian and foreign universities and private partners.

ISAFoM research unit in Perugia has a recognized expertise in research projects dealing with Circular Economy (i.e., sustainable crop production, soil preservation and restoration, biomass valorization, bioenergy production, biofertilizers production, biorefinery, bioplastics, organic waste management). The qualified research and administrative personal at ISAFoM, as well as our laboratories and facilities, can provide useful contribution to partnerships willing to develop proposal in the indicated Topics.
