Litigation Strategies and the Law of Commerce in Later Medieval Bruges Ghent University
Fifteenth-century Bruges is a case in point to study a medieval law of commerce. Already in the later
thirteenth century, Bruges had become the main commercial hub between the Mediterranean and
the North Sea and attracted more foreign merchants than any other European town. Both princely
and city governments tried to offer foreign merchants market peace, physical protection and legal
security through legislation and ...
Health impact of insufficient indoor heating and energy-efficient personalised mitigation strategies KU Leuven
Agroecological strategies for promoting climate change mitigation and adaptation by enhancing soil ecosystem services and sustainable crop production Research Institute for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food
ARTEMIS is an internal research project of EJP SOIL, aimed at exploring the potential of soils in supporting climate change mitigation and adaptation. Soils provide a vast array of ecosystem services and are thus essential to sustaining our planet's health. However, the effectiveness of these services is largely influenced by land management practices. Through ARTEMIS, we seek to deepen our ...

Nutritional mitigation and grassland climate adaptation strategies inrelation to enteric methane emissions from dairy cattle on grasssilage based-rations: effectiveness and trade-offs Research Institute for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food
The main objective of the MelkMethGras project is to investigate the influence of nutritional mitigation strategies or grassland climate adaptation strategies on enteric methane emissions from dairy cattle fed rations based on at least 50% grass silage in the roughage mixture. The first objective is to identify the effectiveness of potential methane mitigating feed ingredients (e.g. extruded ...
Nutritional mitigation and grassland climate adaptation strategies in relation to enteric methane emissions from dairy cattle on grass silage based-rations: effectiveness and trade-offs Ghent University
It is well known that the production of anthropogenic greenhouse gases (GHG) is the main driver for climate change and the contribution of enteric methane (CH4) emission derived from cattle is undeniable. Nutritional strategies can be implemented to reduce these emissions, while climate change itself also affects the cattle sector due to negative effects on feed production. As such, farmers need to work on two fronts in their management: ...
Blue-green strategies for flood and drought mitigation in urban areas KU Leuven
The fast-growing urbanization and climate change lead to increasing urban flooding. To mitigate the negative impacts of these trends, several types of solutions exist including blue-green adaptation strategies. This study will investigate the impact of extreme rainfall on urban flooding and evaluate the positive impacts of the blue-green strategies. Various types of local rainfall data from rain gauges, rainfall radar and crowdsourcing ...
EMERGING VIRAL DISEASES IN TOMATOES AND CUCURBITS: IMPLEMENTATION OF MITIGATION STRATEGIES FOR DURABLE DISEASE MANAGEMENT KU Leuven
Viral diseases can cause severe losses to vegetable crop production which has an estimated annual value of 34,5 billion EUR in Europe. Therefore several billions are lost every year due to the prominence of viral diseases and the emergence of new viruses in European fields and greenhouses. Importantly viral diseases also lead to the extensive use of pesticides, thereby exposing European growers and consumers to pesticide residues.
