To explore, understand and manage the richness of biodiversity in a sustainable manner. We seek innovative ways to conserve ecosystem services by promoting conservation policies and practices.
ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY AND HEALTH
Under approach "One Health", we study the effect of environmental degradation on the spread of diseases, of biodiversity on the prevention of zoonoses and the mitigation of pollutants to protect public and food health.
SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURE AND AGROECOLOGY
Improving crop resilience to climate change through adaptation Genetics, agronomic management, soil-plant microbiome studies, and advanced fertilization and conservation agriculture techniques.
SUSTAINABILITY AND ECONOMICS CIRCULAR
Application of sustainability principles and Economics circular in society and Economics, research of new biodegradable materials, innovative recycling techniques, reduction of the industrial carbon footprint, sustainable urban planning, etc.
Society and Environmental Culture Unit
We carry out an interdisciplinary research with a humanistic approach whose goal is to understand our connection with the environment, and to find a balance between the environment and our cultural needs.
Who we are
Research projects
The BIOMA Institute seeks to be a reference in biodiversity and environmental research , promoting scientific excellence, innovation and partnership among professionals from different disciplines.
In line with these values, we develop several research projects that seek to understand and sustainably manage core topic issues on nature and the future of our planet, such as LIFE-SIP PYRENEES4CLIMA, which implements the Pyrenees Climate Change Strategy; CLIMAVITIS, focused on the adaptation of vines to climate change; or CONNECTFISH, which analyzes the ecological connectivity of dams in relation to the conservation status of Iberian fish.
