More on the adoption of a healthy Mediterranean diet – MoreMedDiet
The health benefits of the Mediterranean diet (MD) and its protective effect against chronic diseases have been widely studied by the scientific community. Recent studies associate this dietary pattern with a lower incidence of cardiovascular disease, cancer and lower mortality and may even strength
Maximising resource use efficiency within the energy, water and nutrient nexus for sustainable agriculture in Mediterranean marginal environments – PureCircles
In the Mediterranean, freshwater availability is put under increasing pressure by global warming, land use changes, and water abstraction. Moreover, deteriorating water and soil quality put agricultural productivity and safe water supply for the population at further risk and urgently demand sustain
Technological and economic potential of the active packaging obtained by supercritical techniques for the preservation of Mediterranean fresh food – Im-Pack
This project analyses the economic impact and technological aspect related to the agri-food sector of the utilization of biodegradable active packaging in the commercialization of Mediterranean fresh products. When the objective is to reach a more extensive market with a fair price, one of the criti
Goat farming systems characterization and novel strategies to sustain production in the changing climate scenario in the Mediterranean regions – MEDGOAT
The Mediterranean basin has been facing the challenge of increasing temperatures and drought due to climate change for several years. This situation threatens the availability of feed resources, the sustainability of grazing livestock and the livelihood of rural communities, particularly those livin
A Transnational movement to support the sustainable transition towards a healthy and Eco-friendly Agri-Food System through the promotion of MEDIET and its lifestyle in modern society – MEDIET4ALL
The MEDIET4ALL project aims to counteract the decline in Mediterranean diet (MEDIET) adherence and foster sustainable healthier food and lifestyle behaviors. The core objectives include: 1. Understanding of the consumer behavior and the representation of MEDIET and identifying the initial adherence
Valorization of olive stone by-product as a green source of innovative and healthy value-added products in the context of the circular bioeconomy and sustainability – VALOstones
The Mediterranean Diet plays an important role in Mediterranean societies and its benefits have been recognized by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations, the International Olive Council (IOC) and t
ALTERNATIVE BIOPESTICIDES FOR SAFE INTEGRATED PEST AND WATER MANAGEMENT AROUND MEDITERRANEAN. – SAFWA
In all modern agricultural crops, the improvement of vegetable production of economic interest is based mainly on the control of pests and vectors of diseases. Pesticides application involves the use of chemicals with insecticidal, fungicidal, bactericidal properties. However, the expansion of their
Sustainable Wastewater Re-use with Innovative Purification and Sensing system for the agrifood supply chain – SWRIPS
The overall objective of SWRIPS project is to increase the efficiency, sustainability and competitiveness of the water usage in the agri-food supply chain (SC) in the EU-Med area under a circular economy approach aimed to saving water and minimize the external use of resources, avoiding further cont
Mitigation of Agricultural effects in Mediterranean soils and wetlands: bioremediation technologies, environmental and economic benefits – MAEWA
MAEWA aims to provide innovative remediation solutions for the treatment of agricultural complex contamination mixtures, containing inorganic (metals and fertilizers) and organic compounds (pesticides), in soil and wetlands in Mediterranean areas. The project ambitions to deliver a set of toolboxes
Future-proofing the Mediterranean agri-food chain through integrated and circular management of contaminant-safe water, nutrients and bioresources – MedInCircle
In the Mediterranean region, the nexus between global dynamics such as climate change, water scarcity and food insecurity, has the potential to lead to highly severe consequences. The agri-food compartment is particularly exposed to such consequences, and urgently calls for the implementation of inn
MODELLING AND TECHNOLOGICAL TOOLS TO PREVENT SURFACE AND GROUND-WATER BODIES FROM AGRICULTURAL NON-POINT SOURCE POLLUTION UNDER MEDITERRANEAN CONDITIONS – NPP-SOL
Several countries in the Mediterranean are affected by agricultural Non-Point Source (NPS) nitrate and phosphorus pollution of aquifers and surface waters (estuaries, lakes, wetlands, etc.), widespread in areas of intensive agriculture and livestock activity. The complexity of NPS pollution requires
The Making of Fragile Agro-ecosystems Productive, Adaptive and Sustainable: Multifunctional Agro-pastoralism – PAS-AGRO-PAS
The objective of the PAS-AGRO-PAS project is to increase productivity, adaptiveness, sustainability and profitability of Mediterranean agro-pastoral production systems, by exploiting every dimension of their multifunctionality through a novel systemic approach that will identify stressors currently
