TRANSDAIRY Co-Publications
The TRANSDAIRY Co-Publications refer to scientific publications that result from collaborative efforts within the TRANSDAIRY project. These publications typically involve multiple partners working together to produce research findings, insights, or advancements in the field of dairy science. By combining expertise and resources from different institutions, these co-publications contribute to the dissemination of knowledge and the advancement of dairy-related research and innovation.
TRANSDAIRY Living Lab HandBook
The TRANSDAIRY Living Lab Handbook serves as a comprehensive guide to the innovative and dynamic living laboratory dedicated to transforming the dairy industry. This handbook encapsulates the essence of the TRANSDAIRY Living Lab, offering a detailed overview of its mission, objectives, and methodologies. It provides a glimpse into the collaborative efforts and cutting-edge research conducted within the living lab, showcasing its role as a hub for experimentation, knowledge exchange, and sustainable dairy practices.
TRANSDAIRY Living Labs Year Books
As we look back on the incredible three-year journey of the TRANSDAIRY Living Lab, we feel immense pride and gratitude for the collaborative efforts and accomplishments of our vibrant community. Each partner has compiled a yearbook highlighting the achievements of the TRANSDAIRY Living Lab.
3.7.1_Co-publication Using innovative legume-based mixtures as cover crops in a multi-functional olive system
The main objective of this experiment is to provide useful indications on sustainable management of multifunctional olive systems under Mediterranean rainfed conditions by analysing the effects of different soil management on olive trees. Two field trials were established in 2022 in Italy and Lebanon, using a randomised block design and comparing four treatments: (1) cover crop with innovative mixture (IM); (2) cover crop with commercial mixture (CM); (3) natural cover + fertilization (NC); (4) traditional soil tillage + fertilization (ST). The preliminary results referred to the first year showed a better establishment of NC compared to both mixtures, regardless of whether it is below or outside the tree canopy. The higher grass-based biomass produced by NC below the tree canopy may have influenced the competition for available soil water between the sward and tree components. Regarding the water potential of olive trees, during the period of greatest water deficit, ST showed lower levels of water potential and NC showed a significantly lower photochemical efficiency. Moreover, NC promotes a smaller fruit size while no significant differences emerged between the other treatments.
3.7.1_Co-publication Complete mitochondrial genome sequence of historical olive (Olea europaea Linnaeus 1753 subsp. europaea) cultivar Mehras in Jordan
The complete mitochondrial genome of the olive cultivar Mehras was determined using high- throughput sequencing technology. It consisted of 710,808 base pairs and comprised 70 genes, including 44 protein-coding genes, 23 tRNA genes, and 3 rRNA genes, with a GC content of 44.7%. Significant single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and insertions/deletions (InDels) were detected throughout the mitogenome. Phylogenetic analysis was conducted using other genotypes, including five olive cultivars, three related species, and Olae exasperata as an out- group. The analysis revealed that the olive cultivar Mehras shares an ancient common ancestor with the Frantoio cultivar from Italy and the Manzanilla cultivar from Spain, which confirms previous findings based on plastome sequencing.
MedTOWN Comparative study on SSE legal framework and its ecosystem
This report analyses the legal framework of the Social and Solidarity Economy (SSE) in 6 countries participating in the MedTown Project (Spain, Greece, Jordan, Palestine, Portugal and Tunisia), and the various issues related to it, such as procedures, formulas or instruments that facilitate the best implementation of SSE actions.The main issues to be addressed in the following report are:
• Regulatory and legal framework of the SSE and its ecosystem in the countries. SSE definition, regulation and purpose.
• Scope of application of the SSE regulations. Territorial and subjective. Main Actors Involved. Public and Private Sector.
• Who is responsible for drafting and amending SSE regulations? Problems in the application of the SSE and its regulations.
• SSE promotion measures. Recommendations and proposals for improvement and implementation of actions that facilitate SSE actions.
• SSE Conclusion and policy recommendations.
MedTOWN Regulatory and legal framework for public procurement (PP), Co-production of public policies (PPUB) in public-private partnerships (PPP) with SSE
This report analyses the legal framework of the Social and Solidarity Economy (SSE) in six participating countries of the MedTown Project (Spain, Greece, Jordan, Palestine, Portugal and Tunisia), and the various issues related to it, such as procedures, formulas or instruments that facilitate the best application of SSE actions, co-production of public policies, public-private partnerships, use of complementary social currencies, electronic payments. The main issues addressed are the following:
• Regulatory and legal framework related to the co-production of public policies (PPUB), Public-Private Associations/Partnerships (PPP) and Public Procurement (PP "Public Procurement") and its ecosystem in the countries.
• Definition, Regulation and Purpose. 2) Scope of application of the PP and PPP regulations. Territorial and subjective. Main Actors Involved. Public and Private Sector.
• Who is responsible for drafting and amending PPP regulations? Problems in the application of its regulations.
• PPP promotion measures. Recommendations and proposals for the improvement and implementation of actions that facilitate PPP actions.
• Conclusion and regulatory recommendations of PPUB and PPP.
MedTOWN Recommendations for improving the legal-regulatory framework of the social and solidarity economy in the 6 countries of the project
As a result of the Comparative Study of the Regulatory and Legal Framework of the Social and Solidarity Economy in the countries participating in the MedTOWN Project, the following proposals for improvements were made regarding the legal and regulatory framework of the social and solidarity economy in the different countries that are part of the MedTOWN project.
MedTOWN Legal Regulatory Framework Mapping on SSE, co-production and complementary currencies
A total of 30 Research Studies at National Level (Spain, Greece, Portugal, Palestine, Jordan, and Tunisia) have been conducted through the MedTOWN project: Each National Researcher contacted 5 Thematic Legal Research Studies with national guidelines and recommendations to improve the legal regulatory framework in the following themes:
A. Regulatory and legal framework of the Social Solidarity Economy (SSE) and ecosystem in the country
B. Co-production of public policies (PPUB) in public-private partnerships (PPP) with social and solidarity economy actors using social complementary currencies
C. Regulatory and legal framework for public procurement (PP) and specifically for co-production in public-private partnerships (PPP) with agents of the social and solidarity economy
D. Use of complementary currencies (CM), including a focus on the use of the legal figure of electronic money (EM),for co-production in public-private partnerships with agents of the social and solidarity economy
E. Use of electronic money (EM) and payment service providers (PSPs) as a legal framework for the implementation of such means of payment.
