Project: Saistainable production in water limited environment of mediterranean agro-ecosystem
| Acronym | SUPROMED |
| Duration | 01/10/2019 - 31/12/2021 |
| Project Topic | SUPROMED will provide a holistic crop-livestock water management system resilient to climate change. In detail, an end-user’s IT platform specially designed to smartly advise farmers in the efficient water management of Mediterranean cropping and livestock systems will be delivered. SUPROMED will integrate a validated set of models and tools (MOPECO, IREY, DOPIR or DOPIR-SOLAR) in an online platform to increase 10-15% the production and income of farms through a reduction about 15-30% of the use of water, and other inputs as energy and fertilizers, while decreasing the impact on the environment. SUPROMED will consider real in-situ data and Earth Observation (EO) imagery, agro-alerts, agroclimatic classification and zoning together with drought forecast tools linked to climatic change. The end-user’s platform will be widely demonstrated across Spain, Lebanon and Tunisia and an ambitious Training programme to be performed in 4 Mediterranean countries will be accompanying farmers for the successful implementation of SUPROMED in agricultural practices. SUPROMED aims to generate 10-15% additional direct and indirect highly qualified jobs, and to promote a 10-20% increase in the adoption of organizational and technological innovations in farms with an overall impact across the Mediterranean basin. |
