SIRAM
Sustainable Innovations for Regenerative Agriculture in the Mediterranean Area
The SIRAM project aims to develop Sustainable Innovations for Regenerative Agriculture in the Mediterranean Area
CONTEXT
SIRAM will help to cope with the main challenges that the agricultural sector is facing in the 21st century by providing a comprehensive integration and implementation of sustainable solutions for regenerative agriculture across different Mediterranean areas.
OBJECTIVES
The project aims to develop approaches to address climate change, pollution, pest control, and low-income issues under different smallholder framing systems, while at the same time working for restoration and regeneration of soil health and for the socio-economic evaluation of the before-mentioned approaches.
APPROACH
SIRAM is based on 4 pillars tested in 8 case studies, covering different pedo-climatic, ecological, and social areas around the Mediterranean.
EXPECTED RESULTS
New methodologies that will improve the sustainability and resilience of smallholder farming systems.
Develop pilot products that can be available for a scale production and delivery on the market by spinoffs and SMEs.
Filling knowledge gaps on regenerative agriculture, soil quality, biocontrol of pests and plant immune system.
