Food Chain of Parmigiano Reggiano: Enhancement of products to zero waste

1) MANAGEMENT ACTION (STUARD, SSICA, UCSC, CFSIVT, SCVSA)
Stuard will assume the role of coordinator of the GO, planning and implementing all the initiatives required to achieve the results provided by the Plan For this reason, it will employ its own, technical and administrative staff, qualified and equipped with multi-year experience in the coordination of research, experimentation and dissemination projectactivities.
The staff will operate in accordance with specific management procedures and operational to ensure a proper conduct of the activties (staff training, evaluation of suppliers, implementation of project activities, verification and assessment of compliance of the operations and results obtained with respect to the expected results).
From the operational point of view, Stuard as Head of Plan (RP) will coordinate:
• overall activities;
• animation and dissemination actions, described in the plan.

Action 3.1 Collected and Storage of digestate (Stuard, and Farms). Stuard will be responsible for collecting the digestate product from Begani farm biogas plant and collecting the ammonium salts obtained from the treatment process of the digested (prototype SSICA) that will be accumulated in special containers and subsequently used for the production of "fertilizer mixtures" with the biochair. Farmers will support Stuard through the provision of conveyors and mixers, in the transport of materials from the place of production to the field of use in the field.
Stuard will handle the digestate from the company Begani to the technological center of the University of Parma, where the carboniser is located, and the subsequent transport of the biochair to the experimental sites.

Action 3.3 Carbonisation and subsequent carbonization (CFSIVT, SCVSA)
CFSIVT (Tadini) has in use an innovative micro carboniser (patent WO 215/018742), equipped with a specific feed-back system and biomass. The technological innovation of the product consists of the possibility of carbonization, without pretreatment, of waste materials as a sustainable source of thermal and electrical energy, using a dual power supply and a control system that optimizes the proportions of input materials. But true innovation lies in the product obtained by carbonization, a process that converts matter. The plant is fully automated, controlled by a control unit (PLC) that automatically manages all thermodynamic cycles without operator supervision. The software is designed to look for the ideal conditions for optimizing the process according to the different available biomass, based on
temperature, pressure and flow rates, detected by sensors located at various points in the plant. Integration with telecommunication systems (ICT) guarantees local and global automation and processing.
Six months are planned for the feeding system, during which it will be biochar product, which will be used for autochthonous harvesting tests at farms.

Action 3.5 Laboratory Analysis (UCSC, SCVSA, SSICA)
Biochar Analysis for Its Use as Amendment (SCVSA)
SCVSA will perform basic analyzes for biochar and soil characterization.
Polyphenols in TAR (UCSC)
Digestated Analysis and Prototype Products SSICA (SSICA)

Action 3.7 Drawing Guidelines for Application and Spreading Practices and / or Combination of Test Practices. (STUARD)
At the end of the planning period, a technical and agronomic account will be produced of the activity carried out in each company, showing the successes and possible failures of the tested techniques in the different types of soil. The aim is to provide a reading key that can make the contextualization of the practices easier, even and above all, depending on the company's features.

4) DISSEMINATION ACTION
During the PARMORIZATION project various dissemination and communication activities will be planned and carried out in order to inform the stakeholders about the objectives of the project and the achieved results, allowing them to be transferred.
This action will be based on the following activities:
- Spreading Plan and Strategy: Stuard (CF) Company together with the Scientific Responsible (RS) and the Partners' Responsibilities of G.O. will prepare a detailed planning of communication and dissemination activities, identifying the most appropriate goals and means of communication, modulating both the times and the actions to be taken;
- Definition of visual identity of the project: in order to make the PARMORIZATION project easily recognizable, the image will be coordinated, in line with the objectives of the project and the PSR 2014-2020. Visual identity will include:
• The logo of the project
• The template for presentations, for PDF documents (to be used for press releases, reports, etc.), for brochures and other dissemination material,
All awareness and promotion material will then report the PARMORIZATION program logo and the references of the contribution of the PSR Regione Emilia Romagna 2014-2020;
- Dissemination of the intermediate and final results of the project to the press and the media: PARMORIZATION project partners, in co-ordination with the Head of Rails and the Scientific Manager, will use the main channels of communication and the network to work with the media in order to guarantee better dissemination of project results.
