| Popis: | The interest in a biorefinery approach as a sustainable production system alternative to some petroleum refineries does not have to be limited to bioenergy chains or to the use of undifferentiated biomasses or waste. In some particular industrial production systems, through a strong link to a high quality agricultural production chain, dedicated biomasses characterised by a high amount of specific compounds (oil, starch, protein, minor compounds as bioactive molecules) can be produced and used in non food fields either in their native form or after small chemical modifications. In this way, the plant cultivation phase represents the first step of the biorefinery chain and the starting point for further technological or biotechnological processes. In this paper, a tenyear Italian experience of plantbased material production, such as organic fertilisers, amendments or biostimulants with an allelopathic activity in containing some plant pathogens and pests will be presented and discussed. Starting from Brassica carinata seed main components (oil, defatted seed meals), and using patented industrial technologies, it was possible to produce a series of different solid (meals, powder, granules, pellet) and liquid products (oil emulsions containing meals) that are now widely applied both in organic and conventional horticulture. This operating method, whose benefits will be evaluated and reported by an environmental balance based on carbon footprint evaluation, enables a practical alternative to conventional fertilisers and pesticides.
