Simões, Joana; Peleja, Ana; Neves, Cláudia M.B.; Costa, Daniela V.T.A.; Correia, Helena Esteves; Pinto, António; Wessel, Dulcineia; Delgado, F.M.G.Agroecological transition is a major societal challenge and it is urgent to support technical solutions to answer farmers demand towards the necessary changes. The project RESTORE - biopReparados Em SisTemas prOdução agRoEcológicos aimed to study and validate the production, conservation, and use of seven biopreparations by characterizing and testing them in lettuce nurseries. The biopreparations used include p...
Biostimulants in organic vegetable nurseries: Study case in lettuce
Simões, Joana; Marmota, Carolina; Moreira, Lisa; Costa, Daniela V.T.A.; Correia, Helena E.; Pinto, António; Wessel, Dulcineia; Delgado, F.M.G.In order to create better conditions to achieve food safety and sovereignty, agroecology, as a science, looks for solutions for several steps of the technical itineraries of the crops. Crop nutrition and protection are two main crop itinerary components that have been in the center of farmers challenges and consumers concerns, and biopreparations, which have been prepared using natural substances, have been use...
Environmental impact assessment of the waste management in a countertop product...
Silva, Luiza Fernandes Carneiro da; Silva, Maria; Brás, Isabel; Domingos, Idalina; Wessel, Dulcineia; Ferreira, JoséIntroduction: Consumerism has led to an increase in environmental problems, and for this reason, sustainable solutions must be the priority when designing new products or services. Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is one of the most important analytical tools available for choosing the best decision when it comes to sustainability. Objective: The focus of this study was to apply an LCA to the management of wastes fr...
A Life Cycle Assessment Study on a New Countertop Material
Silva, Luiza; Silva, Elisabete; Brás, Isabel; Domingos, Idalina; Wessel, Dulcineia; Ferreira, JoséThe Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is one of the most important analytical tools available to provide the scientific basis of engineering solutions for sustainability. The focus of this study was a LCA (cradle to gate) of a product intended to be used in countertops. The functional unit chosen was 1 m2 of finished panel (countertop) and the boundary system involved the study of raw materials and product packaging ...
