End Users/Stakeholders 40 Pilot/Demonstration Sites 35 Scientific Institutes UP TO 50 EXTERNAL SUPPORTING INSTITUTIONS INVOLVED IN H2020, LIFE+, NATIONAL FUNDING SCHEMAS Presented in 17 workshops/seminars/events 10 events branded WIRE Involved as Stakeholder in 23 new EU project proposals Indicated as link with EIP water in 15 EU project proposals (last update October 2014)

3 Covering more than 90% of Irrigated areas in EU ISRAEL

4 MISSION and PRIORITIES FOSTERING UPTAKE OF INNOVATION IN IRRIGATED AGRICULTURE ACTION LINES: - integrated agricultural water management under drought - efficient water reuse in irrigation - energy saving in irrigation - contact group (knowledge exchange, co-creation) - expert group (market facilitators)

5 CONNECTING SCIENCE and TECHNOLOGY TO PROBLEM OWNERS STIMULATING RESEARCH and HIGH-TECH DEVELOPMENT PROMOTING ON-SHELF TOOLS and TECHNOLOGIES DEMOSITES APPLYING SOFT & HARD INNOVATION KNOWLEDGE EXCHANGE & Co-CREATION

6 WIRE MAIN AMBITION: BRIDGING EIP WATER and EIP AGRI

7 WHY NOT INNOVATION? Diagnosis of barriers and bottlenecks IRRIGATED AGRICULTURE EXPERT GROUP STANDALONE IRR.AGR. DIAGNOSIS Mapping of the deficiencies and barriers hampering innovation in EU irrigated agriculture

8 ON SHELF INNOVATION: PROJECT and DEMO SITES 43 projects and demo sites until now

9 2. Decision support systems and application techniques for efficient irrigation and fertilization

10 Satellite-assisted irrigation management and farm advisory webgis SPIDER-SIRIUS Water and Energy Advanced Management for Irrigation Development of a model for the sustainable management of the aquifers GESAP Eurostar Project Intelligent Reclaimed Irrigation System - IRIS Online Professional Irrigation Scheduling Expert System - OPIRIS Agricultural Water Use - CLIMAWARE GESEQ: A toolbox for integrated management of droughts GESEQ Water management service PCS Sistema de Información Agraria Information de Murcia - Murcia Agriculture Information System Water and Nutrients joint management (Fertigation)

11 REMOTE & PROXIMITY SENSING TECHNOLOGIES

12 Capturing multi-sourcing data, transferring data and interpreting the information are challenges that irrigated agriculture must face for the future.

13 5. Strategies and tools to reduce the environmental impact of PPP and nutrients on surface and ground water In-Farm remediation by solar photocatalysis of agro-waste water with pesticides from remnants, cleaning and rinse Decision support system for irrigation and pest management: GARANTES EU Project SAFIR

14 Pilots on sustainable water management - Bioremediation systems, making use of a biological active matrix which retains the PPPs into organic matter or soil particles, where microbial degradation of the PPPs occurs. - Sentinel, which is a chemico-physicochemical system to clean spray remnant water. - Inagro is also testing the fyt-o-cleaner, which is a system to treat spray remnant water based on oxidation reaction techniques and UV. Natural treatment systems for wastewater reuse in irrigation Reclaimed Water Treatment & Use at Farm and Irrigation District

15 7. Strategies and tools for sustainable soil and substrate management WATERSTORE 2 Reconciling Agriculture with environment through a new water governance in coastal and saline areas HELPSOIL Helping enhanced soil functions and adaptation to climate change by sustainable conservation agriculture techniques W4Cs Impact of saline/brackish reused water on fertigation management, water and nutrients productivity and soil salinity

16 3. Sustainable, water and nutrient efficient, cropping systems INNOVATIONS LISTED UP TO NOW ARE IRREMISSIBLE COMPONENTS OF A SUSTAINABLE WATER AND NUTRIENT EFFICIENT CROPPING SYSTEMS INTEGRATED USE OF INNOVATION, CO-FERTILIZATION and KNOW-HOW CO-CREATION ARE OF THE UTMOST IMPORTANCE BUT OFTEN NEGLECTED

17 INNOVATION WE ARE SEEKING MEETING FARMERS REQUIREMENTS (Bottom Up & Participative approach) THINKING OUT OF THE BOX PRODUCING INCREMENTAL INNOVATION WHILE MOVING TOWARD SYSTEMIC INNOVATION CREATING CLOUD & CLUSTER MODEL TO ADDRESS EFFECTIVELY BARRIERS & BOTTLENECKS TAKING CARE OF BOUNDARY CONDITIONS FIRST APPLYING ROBUST SENSING/SCOUTING SCHEMAS MAKING WISE USE OF HIGH PRECISION & COST OR HIGH INTENSITY & LOW PRECISION/COST TOOLS ENABLING/MANAGING DATA ASSIMILATION INTEGRATING FORECAST IMPLEMENTING OPTIMISATION PROCESSES
