SALAM-MED
Sustainable Approaches to LAnd and water Management in MEditerranean Drylands
Project Platform
The SALAM-MED scaling out platform aims to present the living labs and technologies tested during the project. Each technology is described from a scientific and business opportunity point of view through indicators that analytically explain the characteristics of innovation, ease of adoption, and its social and environmental impacts.
The objective is to enhance the work carried out within the SALAM-MED project, and attract investors who are interested in exploiting the research results to build innovative and sustainable business models.
The SALAM-MED platform is a research communication tool but also a bridge towards entrepreneurs, local communities, institutions that intend to address the problem of land degradation and desertification in the Mediterranean.
Analysis
Data play a crucial role in the research and development of innovative technologies for environmental sustainability in the Mediterranean region. This information provides a solid basis for understanding the region’s specific environmental challenges and for developing targeted solutions, thus contributing to preserving the unique natural heritage and ensuring sustainable development for future generations.
Living Lab
SALAM-MED promotes co-innovation through six Living Labs located in Mediterranean hotspots of soil and water degradation.
Egypt
Greece
Italy
Morocco
Spain
Tunisia
Technologies
SALAM-MED will identify, test and validate nature-based practical solutions to enhance the resilience of endangered MED dryland socio-ecological systems or to restore degraded ecosystems in arid and hyper-arid lands.
