Coordination of the Agricultural Research in the Mediterranean (ARIMNET2)
Start date: Jan 1, 2014, End date: Dec 31, 2017,
Agricultural research in the Mediterranean is characterised by three main features: it is scattered within the EU members and in Mediterranean Partner Countries as well as most of the problems and challenges that the Mediterranean agriculture is facing are shared by all the countries in the area and even further, its objectives are largely the same in the whole area, even if priorities can vary fr ...

Global Earth Observation for integrated water resource assessment (eartH2Observe)
Start date: Jan 1, 2014, End date: Dec 31, 2017,
The project eartH2Observe brings together the findings from European FP projects DEWFORA, GLOWASIS, WATCH, GEOWOW and others. It will integrate available global earth observations (EO), in-situ datasets and models and will construct a global water resources re-analysis dataset of significant length (several decades). The resulting data will allow for improved insights on the full extent of availab ...

Optimising Subsidiary Crop Applications in Rotations (OSCAR)
Start date: Apr 1, 2012, End date: Mar 31, 2016,
There is a need to improve sustainability in farming systems particularly through soil care and improvement, but not at the expense of productivity. One approach is to focus on a comprehensive advance in conservation tillage. This will be developed from improved ways of integrating subsidiary crops (SC) as living or dead mulches or cover crops with the main crops in rotations so as to simultaneous ...

Strategies for Organic and Low-input Integrated Breeding And Management (SOLIBAM)
Start date: Mar 1, 2010, End date: Aug 31, 2014,
SOLIBAM will develop specific and novel breeding approaches integrated with management practices to improve the performance, quality, sustainability and stability of crops adapted to organic and low-input systems, in their diversity in Europe and taking into account small-scale farms in Africa. SOLIBAM will: 1. Identify traits specific for adaptation to low-input/organic conditions over a wide ran ...

Sustainable water use securing food production in dry areas of the Mediterranean region (SWUP-MED)
Start date: Jul 1, 2008, End date: Jun 30, 2013,
"The strategic objective of the project is to improve food crop production in the Mediterranean region, influenced by multiple abiotic stresses. These stresses are becoming even more pronounced under changing climate, predicted to result in drier conditions, increasing temperatures, and greater variability, causing desertification. The project will work mainly in farmers’ communities to improve fa ...
