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.
Our four core strategies to improve the water value chain:
S1 Enabling water reuse
S2 Developing WaterSmart crops
S3 Enhancing the water-soil interface
S4 Optimising water use
To turn strategy into action, AQUAGRI-KNOW analyses OG knowledge, aligns it with regional needs, and delivers through farmer-friendly tools and networks. This structured approach 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.
Our five-step methodology — data collection, stakeholder co-creation, content adaptation, knowledge exchange, and network expansion — underpins the delivery of the following tools and activities to ensure scalable impact across diverse agricultural regions in the EU:
