Abstract:
Drylands and their inhabitants are facing complex challenges regarding the development of their economies and productive agricultural systems in the face of climate variability and future climate change, adverse market conditions and political instability. They are the most insecure areas in the world and are home to vast numbers of malnourished people who lack basic services such as education, health care, energy supplies and market access to. Many of these areas are experiencing violence and political instability, and have malfunctioning political institutions that prevent dryland inhabitants from creating their own path to development. As a result many people are on the move to look for a better existence.
The main objective is to achieve better research coordination between disciplines (natural sciences, agriculture, environmental sciences, social sciences, political sciences, geography), and across institutional boundaries - European, International and African institutions - in order to create research networks that work together on strategic research agendas to develop long-term solutions for problems in dryland areas.
This will be achieved through four thematic Working Groups: 1) The climate - food security - population nexus; 2) The conflict - institutions - natural resource governance nexus; 3) Human development; 4) Insecurity - youth - global-local linkages in policymaking. Working Group 5 will coordinate and safeguard interdisciplinarity.
The Action will produce short- and long-term policy briefs and state-of-the-art reviews of the identified domains. It will exchange with policy-makers and target strategic research actions for the future. The Action will organize training schools for junior researchers and it will form strategic research coalitions for further collaboration with European and international partners.

Abstract:
The project aims to implement a system of sustainable and efficient agriculture from an economic viewpoint, adapted to climate change through an expert system for pedo-climatic monitoring in the Transylvanian Depression. Predicted effects emphasize the agricultural system management, conservation and sustainable use of soil and water resources in the context of global climate change, through implementation of new, effective, conservative and pedo-climatically tailored agricultural technologies.
Applied research carried out within the project is based on the actual agricultural situation of the Transylvanian Depression, where, due to inadequate arable land tillage systems, a series of negative aspects have emerged, concerning the following: soil fertility, output and quality of the resulted crops, climate change, landscape and environment quality. Acquisition of scientifically, technologically advanced and globally competitive results from the part of the team proposing the project, a member of the European Platform Modelling European Agriculture with Climate Change for Food Security" (MACSUR: http://www. macsur.eu), through international involvement, is the most appropriate means of fighting climate anomalies, of adapting to the desertification phenomenon, of carbon sequestration in the soil and of agricultural system efficiency.
The project capitalizes on the results of the Minimum Research Systems and Sustainable Agricultural Technologies Center (SMTAD), as well as those of a collaborative Agreement with Louisiana State University (USA). This research program, started in 2008, represents the first large-scale work of thermal and hydric monitoring soil regimes (temperature, humidity, precipitation) from the Transylvanian Plain, through 20 micro-stations, which constitutes a premiere for the Romanian science. Through this research 2 doctoral theses have been completed (in the USA and Romania). 2 other doctoral themes are still in progress on this research program and 5 more research projects have been submitted at the national and international level.
Starting from these results of fundamental research, the project aims at achieving a genuine product – an expert system (a functional pattern) for monitoring and real-time forecasting of climate risks (through modernization of 20 existing stations and the installation of 10 other stations in the Someșan Plateau), taking into account the weather forecast, able to accurately predict climate anomalies periods for different agricultural crops. In order to warn the farmers and correctly predict the necessity of the need to fight against climatic risks, the program will be adapted on the basis of applied research carried out with conservative technologies and specific adaptation measures, within the framework of agricultural enterprises representative for this area.
The project will conclude through the patenting of 3 conservative agricultural technologies as viable, effective and realistic alternatives to conventional agriculture, as currently implemented. The elaboration and adaptation of these technologies is achieved through the certification of an expert system (functional pattern) of risk monitoring.
The project provides access to farmers to sustainable agricultural technologies (effective and conservative) suitable to pedo-climatic and socio-economic conditions of the Transylvanian Depression, in agreement with the measures recommended by the EU for adaptation to climate change: assessing land quality and a specialized audit for the optimization of the implemented technology; conservative technologies implementation; experimental development and certification of at least 3 conservative technologies and 1 expert system of risk monitoring. The project has a major socio-economic impact, involving 2 universities, 1 research station, 1 agricultural company, 1 private research-development company, all anchored in a strong international network of research and development.

Abstract:
Obiectivele proiectului sunt: • Implementarea şi perfecţionarea tehnologiei de cultivare a speciilor Baptisia tinctoria, Chionanthus virginicus, Equisetum arvense şi Ranunculus bulbosus pentru introducerea şi extinderea în cultură, pe principii ecologice, în ţara noastră; • Identificarea factorilor genetici, ecologici şi tehnologici care favorizează acumularea şi extragerea principiilor active la cele 4 specii; • Propuneri de reţete fitoterapeutice noi ce conţin materia primă vegetală obţinută de la cele 4 specii.
Descrierea serviciului. USAMV Cluj-N., Departamentul “Cultura plantelor” va asigura logistica şi expertiza umană necesară pentru realizarea obiectivelor. Se vor identifica zonele cu favorabilitate maximă, cu parametrii pedoclimatici optimi pentru cultivarea acestor specii pentru acumularea maximă a principiilor active. Se va implementa tehnologia de cultivare existentă şi se vor face studii intense de perfecţionare a acesteia pentru condiţiile concrete de cultivare. Se va perfecţiona şi tehnica de multiplicare a materialului vegetal valoros. Se va stabili dinamica acumulării principiilor active pentru a stabili momentul şi modul optim de recoltare.
Necesitatea derulării proiectului rezultă din nevoia de creştere a ofertei de produse pentru însănătoşirea “naturală” şi/sau menţinerea sănătăţii populaţiei din ţara noastră. România este printre codaşele Europei privind speranţa de viaţă a cetăţenilor: 73,5 ani, fiind depăşită “în jos”, doar de Bulgaria şi ţările baltice. În Italia, speranţa medie de viaţă este de 81,7 ani, în Olanda 80,7 ani etc. Cel mai dezastruos indicator din domeniul sănătăţii românilor este cel al mortalităţii infantile, la care suntem pe nedoritul loc întâi, cu 13,6‰, faţă de Bulgaria (12,7‰), Letonia (9,6‰), sau, atenţie!, Suedia sau Finlanda cu 3,0‰ mortalitatea copiilor sub 5 ani. Starea bună de sănătate a populaţiei constituie premisa dezvoltării armonioase şi a competitivităţii poporului respectiv.
