OG Einkommensstabilisierung
LE 14–20
The incomes in the Austrian agricultural sector have been very volatile in the course of the past few years. Some types of farms are familiar with such situations, for others this is new and causes great insecurity.

SaLu_T - Clean air in animal production
LE 14–20
High emissions and associated conflicts with nearby residents confront Austria’s animal production sector with the challenge of implementing environmentally compatible husbandry systems that are in keeping with the principle of animal welfare. MOREState: Styria

Development of an Austria-wide infrastructure on the centralised standardised collection and evaluation of data on hoof health, lameness, and animal welfare
LE 14–20
An infrastructure for the standardised documentation and centralised electronic collection of hoof trimming and lameness data and other animal welfare parameters in Austria is being developed. MOREState: Burgenland | Carinthia | Lower Austria | Upper Austria | Salzburg | Styria | Tyrol | Vorarlberg | Vienna
ARGE Berg-Milchvieh
LE 14–20
In the mountain areas in the western Federal Provinces of Austria up to 80 % of the dairy farms practice a type of husbandry which is a combination of pasturage, free-range farming, and temporary tethering. A reconstruction of the stable constitutes for small dairy farms in narrow mountain areas an enormous economic challenge. MOREState: Carinthia | Upper Austria | Salzburg | Styria | Tyrol | Vorarlberg
ARGE Kreisläufe
LE 14–20
As a result of the increasing specialisation of agricultural holdings in Austria, fewer and fewer farms have a reasonably closed nutrient cycle. MOREState: Burgenland | Carinthia | Lower Austria | Upper Austria | Styria | Vienna
ARGE Wassersparender Bio-Ackerbau
LE 14–20
Agriculture is vehemently affected by climate change, the effects are clearly feasible already now. In order to be able to ensure a sustainable, future-oriented agriculture, appropriate adaptation strategies are required. MOREState: Lower Austria

ARGE Nützlingsblühstreifen
LE 14–20
The focus is on the development of tailored flower mixtures and undersowing for the creation of attractive habitats for aphid antagonists. MOREState: Upper Austria
Development of sustainable measures to combat the spotted wing drosophila in the Austrian fruit-growing and viticultural sectors
LE 14–20
The spotted wing drosophila is an invasive pest from Asia. The existing control strategies cannot always prevent yield losses. MOREState: Burgenland | Lower Austria | Styria

Reduction of N and C emission into the air and shift of N into deeper layers of the soil by means of optimising the cultivation of green areas in arable farming
LE 14–20
Green areas reduce the shift of nitrogen into deeper layers of the soil as well as the gaseous N and C emissions and constitute an important measure for groundwater protection. MOREState: Burgenland | Carinthia | Lower Austria | Upper Austria | Salzburg | Styria | Vienna
Healthy fattening pigs: Utilisation of health data for the improvement of respiratory diseases and parasite infestation with fattening pigs
LE 14–20
The health of the pigs is an important prerequisite for the economic success of pig fattening farms. MOREState: Lower Austria | Upper Austria | Styria

Extended suckling period: Participation project and transfer of knowledge on extended suckling periods on organic pig farms
LE 14–20
The concept of an extended suckling period demonstrates an approach to a solution how the problems around the weaning of the piglets can be reduced and the welfare of the piglets can be improved. MOREState: Burgenland | Lower Austria | Upper Austria | Vienna | Carinthia | Salzburg | Styria | Tyrol | Vorarlberg

ARGE Biomaisanbau
LE 14–20
Agricultural businesses are confronted with inacceptable loss of soil through erosion. The project aims to show how corn can be used to reduce erosion and protect from future erosion without the use of herbicides with a focus on hillside growing. MOREState: Upper Austria

ARGE Agroforst
LE 14–20
In the course of climate change the agricultural landscape has been exposed to massive ecological changes, e.g. droughts, severe rainfall, soil erosion and yield losses. Agricultural enterprises find themselves increasingly forced to get engaged with modern growing systems which are adapted to the changed environmental conditions. MOREState: Lower Austria | Upper Austria
Larval breeding for the production of feed for fish, poultry and pigs
LE 14–20
The European import of protein feed is presently causing various problems. By means of the use of insect larvae, which were bred and processed to feed in Austria this effect can be mitigated and at the same time a higher value-added in Austria and a resource-efficient closed substance cycle economy can be promoted. MOREState: Upper Austria | Styria | Vienna

OptEro
LE 14–20
In potato growing the conventional type of management contributes more to soil erosion than the cultivation with other crops. In order to improve the situation a new growing technique for potatoes considerate of erosion, will be developed. MOREState: Lower Austria | Vienna

Agricultural Culture Estate Heidensand
LE 14–20
The present labour market is marked by the ambiguity, which is on the one hand characterised by a lack of skilled workers, and on the other hand by an oversupply of unqualified workers. This problem is to be addressed with this project, in the course of which the almost 100 years old estate is revitalized and opened up for the population of Lustenau. MOREState: Vorarlberg | Vienna

Sustainable grassland management by means of graduated grassland farming
LE 14–20
ARGE Abgestufter Wiesenbau is a pilot project for implementing the concept of graduated grassland farming. MOREState: Upper Austria | Styria
