For land-based biological resources, research will focus on: soil fertility, improved crops and production systems in all their diversity, including organic farming, quality production schemes and monitoring and assessment of the impact of GMOs on the environment and humans; plant health, sustainable, competitive and multifunctional agriculture, and forestry; rural development; animal health and welfare, breeding and production; infectious diseases in animals, including epidemiological studies, zoonoses and their pathogenic mechan ...[+++]isms, and diseases linked to animal feedstuffs; other threats to the sustainability and security of food production, including climate change; safe disposal of animal waste.

Mr. Lui Temelkovski (Oak Ridges—Markham, Lib.): Mr. Speaker, the ecological treasure known as the Oak Ridges Moraine, which forms a large part of my riding, is a natural system of water, soils and plants, animals, and various other organisms, interwoven over the course of thousands of years.

The Commission’s investigation of complaints showed that waste was dumped in these landfills without any prior treatment, and that none of these sites were equipped with systems to seal the area and recover dangerous liquid leaks, which contaminate soil and can also pollute groundwater and surface water. The Waste Framework Directive requires Member States to ensure that the disposal and recovery of waste does not present a risk to human health, animals and plants and does not pollute water, air, and soil.

Three new decision supporting systems will be developed and validated: one for the management of surface water potabilisation plants, will be implemented by AREA in Ravenna, Italy, and Karlskrona, Sweden; another will support local authorities and farmers in Regione Lombardia to reduce the environmental impact on the soil from the use of pesticides. The third project, presented by the City of Modena, introduces a horizontal computerised information system to monitor the environmental state of the territory for the implementation of Local Agenda 21.

PROGRAMME CONTENTS A. Subprogramme "Tropical and Subtropical Agriculture": 1. Improvement of agricultural products - crop production: food and agro-industrial crops; crop genetics; crop protection; - proteins of animal origin: stock farming; animal genetics and reproduction; veterinary medicine; sea and inland fisheries, aquaculture; - forestry production in humid and arid areas. 2. Conservation and better use of the environment: - appraisal of resources; water resources and their use; soil management and protection, desertification and management of savannahs; underexploited genetic resources; wild flora and fauna; 3. Agricultural engineering and post-harvest technology: - agricultural engineering/mechanization; preservation o ...[+++]f products; processing of products; 4. Production systems: - multi-disciplinary approaches relating to plan products; inter-cropping; relationships between crop- growing and stock-farming; ecologically fragile environments; B. Subprogramme "Medicine, Health and Nutrition in Tropical and Subtropical Areas" 1. Medecine: - transmissible tropical diseases: parasitological; bacterial; viral; mycological; - non-transmissible tropical diseases: genetic disorders; acquired diseases; 2. Health: - health services research: operational research; plannng management and evaluation; - environmental health: water-related diseases; traditional medicine - tropical medicinal plants; 3. Nutrition: - nutritional deficiencies; impact of agricultural, food and social-economic strategies on nutritional status; - relationships between production and storage systems, food habits and health status; - bioavailability of nutrients and their toxicology///.

The good soil structure enables the plants to establish a deep root system, thus ensuring a good water and mineral supply.
