The AQUAGRI-KNOW project aims to improve water management in the agri-food sector in Europe. Currently, agriculture consumes, on average, 40-60% of water resources, so the project aims to introduce innovative, sustainable and efficient solutions that ensure the long-term viability of the agricultural sector and mitigate the impacts of climate change. During its three-year duration, AQUAGRI-KNOW will seek to bridge the gap between research and practice through the knowledge produced by 12 EIP-AGRI Operative Groups (OGs).
These collaborative teams, made up of farmers, researchers and agricultural experts, function as innovation hubs, which will test and share best practices to optimise water management in agriculture. The project will analyse the knowledge of the EIP-AGRI OGs to identify best practices in sustainable water management. It will adapt this knowledge to the needs of farmers and EU policies, translating it into practical tools such as training materials and support guides.
Through workshops, digital platforms and partnerships, it will facilitate knowledge sharing. Finally, it will foster international cooperation to integrate effective strategies into wider agricultural networks, ensuring their sustainability and applicability.
