Secondo le direttive Europee e i regolamenti approvati, l’Unione Europea ha l’obiettivo di abbattere le proprie emissioni di carbonio del 55% entro il 2030 e del 100% entro il 2050. In ambito agricolo, la Politica Agricola Comunitaria (2023-2027), pone dei macro obiettivi il cui fine è ridurre l’impatto ambientale del settore primario. Per sopperire a queste esigenze, e non solo, negli ultimi anni si è verificata una grossa digitalizzazione di tutto il settore primario attraverso l’adozione e il finanziamento di tecnologie per l’agricoltura di precisione. L'agricoltura di precisione permette, se utilizzata correttamente, di ridurre l’uso di input agronomici, di raccogliere e interpretare al meglio i dati raccolti dalle macchine agricole, massimizzando allo stesso tempo le rese colturali e riducendo i costi produttivi per ettaro. Nel complesso queste pratiche portano ad una maggiore sostenibilità. Sull'onda di questa forte spinta Europea di diventare carbon neutral, sono nati i crediti di carbonio che possono rappresentare un’entrata positiva nel bilancio dell’azienda agricola. Questo perchè i crediti di carbonio generati dalle aziende del settore primario possono essere acquistati da aziende del settore secondario per ridurre le proprie emissioni interne. MyEasyFarm rappresenta una piattaforma che rientra nella categoria dei cosiddetti FMIS, cioè “Farm Management Information System”, che permette all’agricoltore di gestire e monitorare la propria azienda agricola, comunicando con le varie macchine agricole; e sfruttare gli eventuali sistemi di agricoltura digitale di cui dispone. La tesi condotta ha previsto il monitoraggio agronomico di due appezzamenti di 17 ettari ciascuno dedicati a colture estensive, in una azienda agricola situata a Rovigo, con l’obiettivo di validare la piattaforma per quanto concerne la stima delle emissioni e gli stoccaggi di carbonio nelle diverse pratiche agronomiche adottate. Inoltre, durante i due anni di sperimentazione, sono stati effettuati campionamenti del suolo in ogni appezzamento tra una coltura e l’altra, per valutare se la differenza di carbonio organico rilevata in laboratorio era simile ai dati forniti dal modello, valutandone quindi l’accuratezza.
Valutazione della piattaforma informatica gestionale “MyEasyCarbon” per il monitoraggio e il calcolo dei crediti di carbonio un’azienda cerealicola.

Abstract
Following the approval of the European directives and regulations by the EU, there is a need to reduce carbon emissions by 100 percent by the year 2050, and by 50 percent by the year 2030. As far as agriculture is concerned, the Common Agricultural Policy (2023-2027) has set some macro objectives to reduce the carbon emissions of the primary sector.In order to achieve these objectives,during recent years a lot of subsides have been released to improve the digital transition of the primary sector. The socalled Precision agriculture allows, if it is used in a correct way, to reduce the chemical input,collect data from machineries and work with them and at the same time to maximize crops yield and reduce costs production. These bring to a more sustainable production and a carbon credits production whom can represent for the farmer a new income in the economic farm balance.This because farmers can sell these carbon credits in the market to secondary market companies. MyEasyfarm is a software (on the market is called an FMIS “farm management information system”) that allows the farmer to check and control his farm through the possibility of communicate with machinery and use precision farming tools as much as possible. The thesis have been based on a agronomic consulting of two fields in a pilot farm located in Rovigo (Italy) to evaluate the digital tool call MyEasyCarbon. MyEasyFarm has been used like FMIS with an DSS (decision support system) to follow the water balance in the soil during the crop growth period. The fields used for the thesis produce cereals and oil crops, one is managed in an organic cultivation system and the other in a conventional way. Each field is about seventeen hectares. The MyEasyCarbon is explained and carbon footprints are evaluated starting from different crops rotation and different tillage methods. Moreover, during the two years of research, real soil samples have been used to evaluate the changing of organic carbon presence in the soil. With MyEasyCarbon we also see if the data from the samples are similar to the data shown by the software. Soil analysis in laboratory have been done by samples burning and the fields samples have been collected with the undisturbed sampler.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
