CONCESSION OF THE REGION EMILIA ROMAGNA OF THE CONTRIBUTION TO THE DRAFT ECOSYSTEMS MCM ?RESOLUM?

COPSR 2023-2027, REGIONAL JUDGMENT DELIBERATION No 2085/2025. INTERVENTION SRG01 ‘SUPPORT TO AGRI EIP OPERATIONAL GROUPS’. CONCESSION CONTRIBUTION TO THE PROJECT OF MCM ECOSISTEMI ?RESOLUM?
Ecosistemi obtains funding for intervention SRG01 – Support for Pei Agri Operational Groups, objective PO 4: Contribute to climate change mitigation and adaptation, including by reducing greenhouse gas emissions and improving carbon sequestration, and promote sustainable energy.

The research area of Ecosistemi presented a project entitled "Regeneration and restoration of ecosystem services of degraded soils through new agricultural processing" in the call of the Emilia Romagna Region for interventions in support of the Pei Agri Operational Groups. The project presented, RESOLUM, which aims to develop and validate an innovative and replicable model for the regeneration of degraded agricultural soils, aimed at improving fertility, increasing organic matter and restoring the main ecosystem services. The expected results include the validation of an in situ recovery methodology applicable in different agricultural contexts, the reduction of physical and biological degradation of land and the strengthening of the productive resilience of farms to the effects of climate change. The project will also develop agronomic and digital monitoring tools based on georeferenced surveys, remote sensing technologies and comparative analysis of production and environmental data. Finally, the project will contribute to the dissemination of innovative approaches to carbon farming and the preservation of biological soil fertility. The Operational Group is made up of Ecosistemi leader together with 10 farms located in the province of Piacenza, Catholic University of the Sacred Heart, CITIMAP and Vittorio Tadini Training, Experimentation and Innovation Center.

A crucial aspect of this financing, and a source of pride for our company, is the trust given by the Emilia Romagna Region to our active vision towards the solution of the serious problem of the loss of organic substance in the soils; the proposal of m.c.m. Ecosistemi, unique in the European scenario, acts directly on soil regeneration, leading to an improvement of soils with immediate and direct timelines to achieve the best compliance with the parameters of EU Directive 2025/2260 on soil monitoring and resilience (Soil Monitoring Law). This technology, already subjected to preventive tests in the Fertilia Experimental Agricultural Company, on an autonomous initiative of m.c.m. Ecosistemi has already produced encouraging results, presented at the last conference of the Italian Society of Soil Sciences (https://mcmecosistemi.com/2026/09/conference-roots-of-the-future-soil-and-plant-in-global-change-technologies-degradation-sustainability/) that will be better developed and perfected during this important project.
