Euragri Webinar Series: INIA-CSIC

Hosted by INIA-CSIC on June 06, 2024

Dr Rocio Lansac, INIA’s Coordinator of International Scientific Relations, opened the webinar, the focus of which was on horticulture, including olive groves, wine grapes and fruit tree crops in the Mediterranean region. It was set against the background of the vulnerability of these horticultural crops to the expected regional climate change, water management, and the sectors’ ability to adapt to the current conditions. There were four presentations. One presentation outlined the work of the Partnership for Research and Innovation in the Mediterranean Area (PRIMA) (https://prima-med.org/). There were presentations from three Mediterranean regional projects – SOILOLIVE (https://soilolive.eu/), SUPROMED (https://www.supromed.eu/index.php/en/, and FREECLIMB (https://primafreeclimb.com/). The project activities and outcomes will assist in developing the adaptation responses to horticultural, viticulture, and olive farming systems.
