Development of improved perennial non-food biomass and bioproduct crops for water stressed environments (WATBIO)
Start date: Nov 1, 2012, End date: Oct 31, 2017,
"The goal of WATBIO is to use the power of next generation sequencing to develop an accelerated route for producing new germplasm with enhanced drought tolerance whilst maintaining biomass productivity and quality in water scarce, marginal environments unsuitable for food crops.This will be achieved for three non-food crops (Populus, Miscanthus and Arundo), suitable for growth on water scarce, mar ...

WATER AND ENERGY ADVANCED MANAGEMENT FOR IRRIGATION (WEAM4I)
Start date: Nov 1, 2013, End date: Apr 30, 2017,
Agriculture sector is accountable for 30% of the total water consumption in Europe, but reaches up to 70% of total water consumption in several European southern countries. In recent years, most of the efforts have been focused on water efficiency, without taking care of energy aspects, resulting in some cases on a significant increase in energy consumption, both per irrigated surface and per volu ...
