20 Sustainable Durum Wheat Cultivation Sustainable Durum Wheat Cultivation Project

21 Sustainable Durum Wheat Cultivation AIM OF THE PROJECT 1) Identify in the different area sustainable alternative cropping systems for the cultivation of durum wheat; 2) Analyze and evaluate the characteristics of cropping systems identified; 3) Validate the alternative cropping systems with in-field experimentations 4) Integrate the Barilla s Cultivation Disciplinary (Decalogue) 5) Use a web based Farmers Decision Supporting System (DSS)

22 Sustainable Durum Wheat Cultivation INDICATORS USED CARBON FOOTPRINT: it represents the total amount of greenhouse gases (GHG) produced to directly and indirectly support human activities, usually expressed in equivalent tons of CO2 with the relative indicator, commonly called global warming potential. WATER FOOTPRINT: it measures the water consumption of a system in terms of water volumes consumed because of the processes, the irrigation, the natural evaporation by plants and/or that polluted, per unit of time. ECOLOGICAL FOOTPRINT: is a measure of how much biologically productive land and water an individual, population or activity requires to produce all the resources it consumes and to absorb the waste it generates using prevailing technology and resource management practices. It is measured in global hectares (gha). ECONOMICS INDICATORS: represented by the direct costs of cultivation (cultivation operations + technical tools), the gross marketable production (GPS), updated to the price lists of 17 November 2009, and the gross income (GI), i.e. the difference between direct costs of cultivation and GPS. (In the GPS are not considered coupled and uncoupled aid ) NITROGEN INDEX: measurement of nitrogen availability determined by the previous crop residue, by the contribution of chemical fertilizers and the time required to biologically degrade the organic substance of the preceding crop; DON INDEX: this index expresses the cultivation safety aspects related to the possibility of reducing pathology occurrence due to the deoxynivalenol mycotoxin (DON).

27 Durum wheat cultivation Second Part of the Project Durum wheat: Cropping System Sustainability in Italy The second part of the project consists in infield experimentation, comparing sustainable and traditional cropping systems. Now we are in the go-live phase : In-field testing with >25 farmers Parma Siena Ferrara Ancona Macerata Foggia : Go-live year: > t expected

28 BSF Barilla Sustainable Farming project in USA & Canada Durum Wheat and Tomato Already done Tomato: engaged the two suppliers on the BSF project and about the importance of the Sustainability; defined possible next steps. Durum Wheat: Collaborator Agreement finalized for the activities for the next 2 years. Next Steps Tomato: LCA analysis based on available information in the tomato industry in California. Definition of the joint collaboration with each supplier on this project Durum Wheat: to start the activities as per the Collaborator Agreement Partners INGOMAR (California) MORNIG STAR (California) North Dakota State University Agri-Food Canada
