Overcoming the barriers for scaling up circular water management in agriculture

This funding call aims to support innovation in circular water management within the agricultural sector, addressing barriers to scaling up alternative water sources. It aligns with the European Green Deal’s Farm to Fork strategy and the EU water-related policies, particularly the Water Framework Directive and the Water Reuse Regulation. Projects should test strategies and technologies for irrigation using alternative water sources in real-life conditions, evaluate long-term impacts on soil, crops, and ecosystems, and identify suitable business models. Additionally, proposals should develop solutions to societal, regulatory, and financial challenges, enhance knowledge dissemination, and foster acceptance of circular water management practices among farmers and consumers. The expected results include enhanced resilience to water scarcity, improved agricultural sustainability, and increased awareness of alternative water use.

Opening: 06-05-2025
Deadline(s): 04-09-2025
