Resilient, water- and Energy-efficient FORage and feed crops for Mediterranean Agricultural systems – REFORMA
Crop-livestock and feed systems have huge importance for Mediterranean regions to satisfy the increasing population demand for animal products (milk, eggs, meat), to increase the economic stability of smallholders and to produce typical animal products with high added-value, while contributing in al
Breeding, agronomic and biotechnological approaches for reintegration and revalorization of legumes in Mediterranean agriculture – MediLeg
A collaborative interdisciplinary initiative is proposed to promote grain legume cultivation in Mediterranean countries. It includes biotechnologists, agronomists, plant breeders, crop physiologists, organic chemists and phytopathologists from Algeria, Egypt, France, Italy, Morocco, Portugal, Spain
Predicting whitefly population outbreaks in changing environments – SWIPE
Both climate change and global trade are important drivers of changes in the abundance and distribution of insect pests. Whiteflies (Homoptera: Aleyrodidae) are important plant pests and virus vectors in many agricultural systems worldwide. Among them, the sweet potato whitefly, Bemisia tabaci (Genn
The future of Mediterranean Livestock Farming Systems: Opportunity and efficiency of Crops - Livestock Integration – CLIMED
The Mediterranean livestock farming systems need to adapt with multiple and complex changes in the past and present history of the zone. The project aims to assess technical, economic and socio-ecological viability of crop-livestock systems in the Mediterranean context to help farmers, local communi
Potato Health - Managed for efficiency and durability – PoH-MED
Potato is a major food and trade crop on both sides of the Mediterranean sea. Its vegetative mode of propagation and high economic value foster continuous exchange of living material, long production cycles, and severe losses to microbial diseases during vegetation or storage. This vulnerability is
Mediterranean biodiversity as a tool for the sustainable development of the small ruminant sector : from traditional knowledge to innovation – DoMEsTIc
In the Mediterranean region, rangeland and pastoral systems considered as the traditional way of farming contain elements that can be proved of high value under the new conditions, related with the need for the protection of the environment and biodiversity and with consumer demands on safe and qual
Food safety regulations, market access and international competition – SAFEMED
The SAFEMED Project aims at analyzing the conditions for an international co-regulation of food safety between North and South Mediterranean sides. It consists in analysing the structure of the competition between supply chains of both sides and examining the possibilities for a coordination of publ
CONTRIBUTION OF OLIVE HISTORY FOR THE MANAGEMENT OF SOIL-BORNE PARASITES IN THE MEDITERRANEAN BASIN – PESTOLIVE
PESTOLIVE aims at producing knowledge and tools for a new and efficient management of plant-parasitic nematodes (PPN) and plant-pathogenic fungi (PPF) in olive (Olea europea L.) cropping systems and nurseries, while reducing the use of pesticides. Because of the anthropic continuum from Olea post-gl
Apple and Peach in Mediterranean orchards – Integrating tree water status and irrigation management for coping with water scarcity and aphid control – APMed
The profitability of deciduous fruit orchards in semi-arid zones, especially in southern and eastern Mediterranean countries, depends on irrigation water availability throughout the growing season. Studies of water stress effects on growth have been mostly conducted on annuals, focusing on crop mana
