Drought, the silent enemy of the Mediterranean
On 22 March 2022, on the occasion of world water day, Prima Program published an article about SUPROMED project.
Finding solutions through research
How can we adapt to and mitigate the effects of droughts? PRIMA works on different lines of action to meet this challenge. On the one hand, it is necessary to preserve the soil, which suffers from an advanced state of erosion in the Mediterranean. Some of the PRIMA funded projects, such as CAMA, work on this line of action by trying to reduce the risk of soil quality degradation. One of the critical factors of conservation agriculture is a cropping system that covers the soil surface with crop residues to avoid humidity evaporation.
On the other hand, it is also essential to develop sustainable farming practices to tackle the drought problem, considering that almost 75% of fresh water is used for agricultural purposes. A more resilient approach is needed, reducing or adapting water resources.
Here it comes SUPROMED (Sustainable Production in Water Limited Environments of Mediterranean Agro-ecosystem), an R&I project co-funded by PRIMA, which aims to enhance Mediterranean farming systems’ economic and environmental sustainability through more efficient management of water, energy and fertilisers. Partnering with ten organisations from Spain, France, Greece, Lebanon and Tunisia, the project will provide a holistic water management system resilient to climate change. In detail, what is going to be delivered is an end-user technology platform specially designed to smartly advise farmers in the efficient water management of Mediterranean cropping.

SUPROMED technical workshop in TUNISIA, 27 NOVEMBER 2020
A technical workshop in Sidi Bouzid (Tunisia) has been achieved on Friday 27 November by the INGC team. The workshop was held with the Leader farmer to raise awareness on the use of seed drills for sowing cereals. This region is known for the low rate of use of agricultural mechanisation , especially the seed drill for cereals. In addition, in this region, cereals are sown manually or with fertiliser spreaders, which distorts sowing rates and leads to heterogeneous emergence. Around 12 participants took part in this workshop.
SUPROMED technical workshop, 13 NOVEMBER 2020
On 13 November 2020, a technical workshop about the improvement of irrigation management with SUPROMED in annual crops was organized by SUPROMED project coordinator UCLM with the contribution of the partners ITAP and HISPATEC.
The workshop was an occasion to gather farmers, technicians and managers of companies linked to irrigation to discuss and reflect on how to increase the
production and quality of agricultural products with a proper design and management of irrigation in order to meet the demand of industry and market.
In addition to that, the workshop aimed to make some trainings on new models and disseminate the results of the first year of SUPROMED project.
Around 200 participants took part in this workshop.
