The first group deals with ha wide range of topics related with natural ecosystems from Landscape Architecture, Soil Sciences, Agronomy, Agricultural Waste Management, Environmental Chemistry and Processes to Water management and Irrigation. This diversity of competences and skills is a key factor to successfully reach the main objective of this group: to improve food production through sustainable agricultural systems and to promote eco-responsible landscape management. The G3 group is able to study Food & Feed as biological materials, transformed by technology to be safer, healthier and appealing to the consumer, by using efficient processing in energy and costs, ideally with no residues left to impact the environment. The strategy of using by-products as new functional (with impact on health) foods or ingredients has a long tradition (over 30 years) in the group.
