The project participated in an EU CAP Network workshop ‘Circular water management’, which took place in March 2024 in Seville, Spain. The workshop brought together 83
stakeholders, including farmers and entrepreneurs. The primary goal was to share knowledge and encourage the adoption of solutions for reusing and recycling water in agricultural production. This involves capturing, storing/retaining, treating, and reusing
water multiple times from sources close to the farm such as from fields, roofs, greenhouses, farm activities (e.g. livestock activity, primary processing), or small-scale nearby agri-food industries. You can download a summary report of the whole workshop here.
Several interesting solutions and ideas for increased water circulation within agriculture were presented in the workshop, for example a system for reusing cleaning water from poultry houses and finding suitable locations to optimise managed aquifer recharge to combat droughts. You can download a booklet presenting some of these examples here.
