This infoclip provides illustrative images of a wide range of agricultural activities in various EU member states. In northern Italy, a farm produces organic rice in a nature area and the goal is to let the nature do its job. This biodiversity brings lots of different kind of birds, plants, insect, and fishes. The farm also built an organic digester to create their own biogas used as fertilizers in the fields. In Sweden, a farm produces fertilizers and bio fuel for tractors and trucks. In Ireland, a farmer produces winter barley, wheat and oats. He uses new technologies to manage the spreading of fertilizers in his fields. In Czech Republic, a farm produces hops on about 42 hectares. In Spain, the research center Cicytex provides services of high added value to companies in the sector of Agro-Food Technology. The Community of irrigators Genil –Cabra have participated in an EU-funded Research programme on sustainable use of irrigation water in the Mediterranean region.

Wiggeby Jordbruk AB farm produces fertilizers and bio fuel for tractors and trucks. The farm is situated about 30 km outside Stockholm, and produces mostly cereals and also high quality feed for horses. The farm has a very extensive system for recycling &ndash; both manure and also making bioenergy from forest residues. The farm runs on almost 100% green energy.

The Community of irrigators Genil &ndash;Cabra have participated in an EU-funded Research programme on sustainable use of irrigation water in the Mediterranean region, and are currently part of a LIFE+ programme on sustainable water use. The aim is to reduce by 30% the water used for irrigation, compared to the current irrigation regime.Informative panel of the investment from European Union for the construction works of irrigation equipment in the irrigation infrastructures of Genil-Cabra in C&oacute;rdoba (3 shots)
