Demonstrate the socio-economic and ecological impacts of the Water, Energy, Food and Ecosystem (WEFE) Nexus approach on agricultural production and policies in the Mediterranean regions.
FrontAg Nexus will propose a new concept and approach to improve the adaptive capacity of the agricultural system to climate change and the livelihoods of stakeholders in the Mediterranean region.
WHAT IS
FrontAg Nexus is a 3-year project bringing together 10 partners to promote the large-scale adoption of frontier agriculture as a multi-solution intervention in different contexts, generating sustainable benefits for the WEFE Nexus and people’s livelihoods. stakeholders.
Renewable energy practitioners, policy makers
Technologies for climate-smart frontier agriculture
Hydroponics
Cultivate without soil, using vertical farming systems that optimize resource efficiency.
Aquaponics
Integrate fish farming with hydroponics, creating a mutually beneficial relationship between fish and vegetable production.
Vermicompost
vermicomposting Exploit the potential of worms in the management of organic waste and the production of nutrient-rich substrate and humus.
Agriphotovoltaics
Combining agriculture and solar energy, improving energy efficiency through the integration of photovoltaic systems.
Insect breeding
Sustainable production of insects for animal feed and other applications, reducing dependence on traditional feed sources.
