Description:
The SWRIPS project aims to increase the efficiency, sustainability and competitiveness of the water usage in the agri-food supply chain (SC) in the EU-Med area under a circular economy approach to save water and minimize the external use of resources, avoiding further contamination of land and water. The project addresses the thematic “Water Management - Prevent and reduce land and water salinization and pollution due to agri-food activities”. In fact, SWRIPS aims to recover the wastewater produced in the agri-food processing and to reuse the purified water for fertigation purpose while at the same time recovering the substances produced in the process as a matrix for fertilizer, thus putting in place a virtuous cycle that reduces the overall consumption of freshwater, guarantees water availability to farmers, reduce soil drying out and the overall amount of additional fertilizers, is cost effective both for agri-food industries and farmers and, last but not least, is environmental and human-health friendly.
