Facing growing challenges in agriculture, AQUAGRI-KNOW empowers farmers with practical, tailored solutions for sustainable on-form water use.
European water resources face mounting pressure from climate change and inefficient governance, with agriculture responsible for up to 60% of freshwater use. While sustainable solutions exist, integrating them into daily farming practice remains a challenge. AQUAGRI-KNOW addresses this by focusing on efficient, circular water use at the farm level, grounded in the practical outcomes of 12 EIP-AGRI OGs.
The project is structured around four core strategies – optimising water use, developing WaterSmart crops, enhancing the water-soil interface, and enabling water reuse. Using a five-step process that includes analysing OG knowledge, aligning it with regional needs, and delivering it through farmer-friendly tools and networks, AQUAGRI-KNOW drives practical, lasting change in agricultural water management.

AQUAGRI-KNOW is designed to accelerate the uptake of innovative water management practices by transforming technical knowledge into practical, on-farm solutions. The project focuses on four key areas: smart irrigation and water sourcing, resilient low-water-demand crops, soil regeneration and groundwater protection, and closed-loop water reuse systems.
Through a five-step methodology – data collection, stakeholder co-creation, content adaptation, knowledge exchange, and network expansion – AQUAGRI-KNOW delivers tools such as decision support systems, practice abstracts, and a MOOC for young farmers. It fosters collaboration through Regional Social Lab dialogues, thematic networks, and an Ambassador Programme to ensure scalable impact across diverse agricultural regions in the EU.
