Enhancing nutrient use efficiency through legumes in agro-ecosystems of the Mediterranean basin – CROSYMED
Modern intensive agricultural systems generally focus on the productivity of monocultures. They are characterized by a low diversity of crops, with uniform and symmetrical planting layouts. They largely rely on the utilization of chemical inputs. They are widely denounced for their negative environm
Recovery of olive oil by-products through bio/hydrochars production for agricultural soil fertilization and environment preservation – FERTICHAR
In the Mediterranean region, olive mills produce huge amounts of olive mill wastewaters (OMW) as well as solid wastes (OSW) that are very rich in nutrients (especially K, N and P) and organic matter, respectively. Taking benefits from these two types of liquid and solid wastes in agriculture without
Conversion of olive oil wastes through combined pyrolysis and anaerobic digestion: energy, value added products and eco-fertilizers production – PYRODIGEST
In Mediterranean countries, the olive industry represents a major agricultural sector, generating liquid and solid wastes (cake, stalks and wood residues) with detrimental environmental impacts (salinity, acidity and high polyphenol load). The PYRODIGEST project aims to render the olive oil industry
NatuRal bioactivE moleCules foR safE And subsTainablE dairy products – AROMATIC
The production milk and dairy products made from raw milk of cows or other animals (goat, sheep, camel…) is an agri-food sector with high production volumes and product diversification in all the Mediterranean countries. Milk and dairy products play a role of primary importance in the diet of loca
Collective marketing strategies and new circular business models for valorising local food, agro-waste and by-products: example of the olive oil chain – COLIVE
Farmers and agrifood SMEs play a crucial role in Mediterranean local food domains, and their product diversity and traditional know-how reflect the cultural richness and fascinating history of this area. However, due to market liberalization with increased competition, changes of consumer habits and
Agricultural production will be decisively affected as global climate change continues and water shortage and drought are becoming increasingly serious constraints that limit crop production, not only in Mediterranean area but also worldwide. The project TomorrowS will largely focus on the impact o
Dual cropping system, Genetic Divesity, Decision support and Digital tool for Designing Eco-efficient Cereal Legume Integrated food value Chain in the Mediterranean Basin – D-4Declic
D4DECLIC project aims at developing scientific knowledge, practical solutions and efficient tools to support the production of high quality grain and fodder from legume –cereal based system in the Mediterranean basin, based on mixed cropping systems involving more crop species and varieties. Central
Local and international valorization of Mediterranean agri-food products through quality certifications. The case of Dates sector – VALUETEAM
The main objective of this research project is to explore ways of improving the creation of value in the dates value chains in three countries of the southern Mediterranean, namely Algeria, Morocco and Tunisia. France is also involved in this research proposed by a consortium of sixinstitutions. The
Characterization of dairy chain in Mediterranean countries and adoption of optimum technologies to improve dairy value chain – CDCMCT
The development of dairy sector remains a priority in Mediterranean countries. The present project proposed by multidisciplinary consortium of 5 partners aims to characterize dairy chain in North Africa (Algeria and Egypt) focusing on dairy cattle sector and in Europe (Greece) focusing on cattle, sh
Vulnerabilities and adaptive capacities of Irrigated Agriculture in North Africa – VIANA
Irrigated agriculture is a major feature of the Mediterranean basin, and has expanded tremendously in the past decades, through access to a previously untapped resource, groundwater. Within the perspective of global challenges linked to food security, poverty alleviation, natural resources degradati
