Sustainable Agro-Ecosystems and Bioresources

Department (DASB) - multidisciplinary approaches to address the challenge of sustainable development of agro-ecosystems.

Sustainable Agro-Ecosystems and Bioresources

The Department integrates multidisciplinary approaches (from chemistry to ‘omics’) to address the challenge of sustainable development of agro-ecosystems.

Use of bioresources to reduce human impacts, carbon balance, management of water resources and terrestrial agro-ecosystems are the key topics of research.

Head of the department: Ilaria Pertot

Administrative staff: Francesco Boccardi, Pedrotti Sonia
