31 NEWS MILLER / November 2020 said Robert Jackson, a professor and coauthor from Stan- ford University and chair of the Global Carbon Project. However, opportunities to reduce nitrous oxide emis- sions do exist, said Wilfried Winiwarter, a senior rese- arch scholar with the International Institute of Applied Systems Analysis in Austria and former director of the International Nitrogen Initiative and its European center. "Europe is the only region in the world that has successful- ly reduced nitrous oxide emissions over the past two deca- des," Winiwarter said. "Industrial and agricultural policies to reduce greenhouse gases and air pollution and to optimize fertilizer use efficiencies have proven to be effective. Still, further efforts will be required, in Europe as well as globally." Rona Thompson, a senior scientist from the Norwegian Institute for Air Research, was another study co-leader. "This study shows that we now have a comprehensive understanding of the nitrous oxide budget, including cli- mate impacts," Thompson said. "We are able to assess and quantify measures to reduce nitrous oxide emissions, and many of these measures will also improve water and air quality, benefiting both human health and ecosystems." Study co-leader Josep "Pep" Canadell, chief scientist in the Climate Science Center at the Australia-based Com- monwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisati- on and executive director of the Global Carbon Project, agreed the research is significant and urgent. "This new analysis calls for a full-scale rethink in the ways we use and abuse nitrogen fertilizers globally and urges us to adopt more sustainable practices in the way we produce food, including the reduction of food was- te," Canadell said. "These findings underscore the urgen- cy and opportunities to mitigate nitrous oxide emissions worldwide to avoid the worst of climate impacts." Francesco Tubiello, a senior statistician and team le- ader for Agri-Environmental Statistics in the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, added, "Many of the actions to improve nitrogen use efficien- cy and improve crop and livestock productivity, required now to begin reducing these emissions, are also needed to achieve sustainable and productive agriculture under the United Nation's 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Deve- lopment Goals." Emerged as one of the most important makers of pasta in India, Bellizzi Foods chooses Italian Axor Ocrim for the supply of a new E.N.A. Short-Cut Line. Indian pasta maker Bellizzi Foods chooses Axor Ocrim’s E.N.A. Short-Cut Line “Perfect for the production of any short-cut pasta shapes, the line will be soon installed at their facility, so they will start experiencing a production car- ried out by 100% Italian machines,” the Italian company said. E.N.A. Short-Cut Pasta Line deve- loped by Axor allows to use any type of raw material. Thanks to the vacu- um press, the new generation ener- gy-saving shaker (patented) and the high-temperature dryer, it is possible to produce an excellent pasta, even using soft wheat flour. Axor, for more than 30 years, has been one of the leading companies in the en- gineering, manufacturing and installati- on of equipment for the food industry. Axor has installed over 150 lines and equipment all over the world, from Italy, all of Europe, North and South America, Africa, Asia and the Middle East.
