ReLive: Sustainable Livestock and Cropping Systems Integration for GHG Mitigation
ReLive project aims to holistically reintegrate livestock and cropping systems to mitigate greenhouse gases, focusing on livestock management, manure use, soil management, and decision support tools. Deliverables include farming databases, opinion papers, handbooks on Climate-Smart Agriculture, and models for climate-resilient farming. The project promotes environmental sustainability and circularity in agriculture.

ReLive ReLive Objectives Take a holistic systems-based approach to the sustainable reintegration of livestock and cropping systems to mitigate GHGs whilst reducing environmental footprints. Particular attention at: Livestock type and management to avoid negativity of reintegration of livestock. Appropriate use and storage of manures. Crop and soil management choices, including afforestation/agroforestry. Integration into decision support tools for identifying best practices. Monitor and validate any management options and the economic consequences. Effective dissemination and communication to end users. Back to the Future: Back to the Future: Reintegrating Land and Reintegrating Land and Livestock for Greenhouse Livestock for Greenhouse Gas Mitigation and Gas Mitigation and Circularity Circularity
Deliverables D1: Farming databases (pilot farms, ESA Copernicus, NDVI, Remote Sensing, smart farming and modeling). D2: Opinion paper on potential changes in the farm GHG (CH4) balance through livestock management, report on the benefits, synergies and trade-offs, and the impact of (re)integration of livestock and circularity. D3: Paper on land use and system changes (i.e. livestock diet) on manure management with/without biogas generation, and amendment usage including biochar. D4: Concise handbook on the use of CSA practices for livestock farms, mitigation potential, and the impact of non-CO2 GHGs on carbon neutrality in Climate Smart Livestock farm.
Deliverables D5: Papers & modified Holos model and CFT, decision-tree for recommendations of alternative land use & management choices for climate-resilient farming. D6: Advisory report on the optimal validation tools, modelled results evaluation, digital module & methodologies, and small-scale alternative farming. D7: A public Gold Standard methodology, practical guidance on pilot farms, development of data visualization, food products and farm profitability. D8: Minutes, website, social media, conferences/workshops/seminars proceedings, 15 peer-review papers, annual & final reports and recommendations.
