Section 1 – Farming Systems 2022

Basic Information

PRIMA, in close collaboration with the recently adopted EU Mission A Soil Deal for Europe, is proposing an action aiming to create an enabling environment for the protection, restoration and improvement of soil health in the Mediterranean, a region already heavily distressed by the impacts of climate change and where drylands cover already 34% of the land surface. In addition to extreme climatic conditions prevailing in the area, unsustainable land and water management, overgrazing, deforestation, and wildfires turn large sections of these areas (approximately 30%) into deserts.

Aim of the joint call
