Context

The livestock sector in Piedmont is mainly oriented for the use of
imported common soy flour. With regarding to prevention and management
of the risks of feeding it would be helpful to close the feed production
within the farm cycle througt the use of protein crops (as the soybean)
cultivated directly on the agricultural holding. Unfortunately the small
holders farmers established in Piedmont which operating in organic or
low input, are struggling to achieve the feeding process directly
utilized for the animals needs (therefore characterized by low
anti-nutritional factor) and into the own farm. This results from the
lack of machinery, equipment and contracting machines devoted for small
size farms, the lack of an adequate technical skills for the cropping
and for the post harvest, finally the lack of soya varieties adapted for
the local condition. As well known the ongoing impact climate change is
having a direct and deep impact on the local agricultural systems, thus
leading to a continuous change of the farming conditions that it will
fluctuate radically over the years. In order to cope these relevant
issues it would be important to have in Piedmont some varieties able to
adapt them over time and to the different territory. The use of mixture
varietes and populations of soybean represent an helpful solution into
of an adaptive strategies facing the climate change .
Moreover, the lack of capacity for processing feed directly into the
farm, it forces the farmers to provide the soy for livestock in to the
common market, this significantly increase the costs of the final
production. For these smallholders farmer the level of expenditure
often unsustainable.

Objectives

The objective that we aim to achieve is to make possible the cultivation and fruition, biological or low input, of low anti-nutritional factor soya to promote the inclusion of innovation practices (seeds, feed and agricultural mechanization) at:
small zootechnical farms, which want to close the business cycle of the production of feed directly usable by the animals with this cultivation, thus reducing costs;
farms that want to diversify their agricultural production with the aim of direct sales and crop rotation.

Objectives

L'obiettivo che ci si prefigge di raggiungere è rendere possibile la coltivazione e la fruizione, biologica o a basso input, di soia a basso fattore antinutrizionale per promuovere l’inserimento di pratiche di innovazione (sementi, mangimistico e meccanizzazione agricola ) presso:
piccole aziende agricole zootecniche, che vogliono chiudere il ciclo aziendale della produzione dei mangimi direttamente utilizzabile dagli animali con questa coltivazione, riducendo così i costi ;
aziende agricole che vogliono diversificare la propria produzione agricola col fine della vendita diretta e della rotazione delle coltivazioni.

Activities

The activities of the project will be: CULTIVATION in 4 soy farms with agro-ecological practices including ANIMAL TRACTION, MANAGEMENT OF DISEASED ADMINISTRATION population and testing and product, TRAINING and DISSEMINATION at farms. In the 36 months we expect: 1. a heterogeneous evolutionary population of soy (glycine max) with a low antinutritional factor adapted to the local context; introduction into the agronomic practices of the techniques, cooperative relations and produced plant material; 3. the positive feedback of the administration of the heterogeneous evolutionary population;
4. the disclosure of practices and plant material produced.

Activities

Le attività del progetto saranno: COLTIVAZIONE in 4 aziende agricole della soia con pratiche agrocologiche tra cui la TRAZIONE ANIMALE, GESTIONE della popolazione di soia SOMMINISTRAZIONE e test e del prodotto, FORMAZIONE e DISSEMINAZIONE presso aziende agricole. Nei 36 mesi ci attendiamo: 1. una popolazione eterogenea evolutiva di soia (glicine max) a basso fattore antinutrizionale adattata al contesto locale;2. introduzione nelle pratiche agronomiche delle tecniche, relazioni di cooperazione e materiale vegetale prodotto; 3. il riscontro positivo della somministrazione della popolazione eterogenea evolutiva;
4. la divulgazione delle pratiche e del materiale vegetale prodotto.
