WaterFARMING goal is to enhance the water and nutrient retention capacity and improve use efficiency (Challenge 1) in diverse arable production systems across Europe and N. Africa, to seek means to reduce soil and water pollution (Challenge 2) for sustainable management of water resources (Challenge 3). More
