Nicola Dal Ferro is Associate Professor(2020 -) at the University of Padova, DAFNAE Department. Dr Dal Ferro graduated in 2008 in Land and environment science and technology (110/110 cum laude) and obtained a PhD in Crop Science in 2012 (doctor Europeaus label). Dr Dal Ferro continued his career with 4 years of post-doc grants in collaboration with several national and international research group. Dr Dal Ferro's research activity focuses on issues related to sustainable agriculture, with particular emphasis to soil and water management practices, the impacts of agriculture on the agro-ecosystems, water and nutrient cycling. Nicola Dal Ferro is coordinator of the second cycle degree program in Sustainable Agriculture and is Associate Editor for the European Journal of Soil Science.
