Soil and Water Conservation Management
The group focuses its research on agronomy, with emphasis on water and soil resources. A systemic approach is used to address various problems related to water scarcity and soil conservation, two of the main challenges facing Mediterranean agriculture. Within the group, there are subgroups/researchers specializing in irrigation management, crop modeling, remote sensing, irrigation engineering and hydrology, crop response to drought, soil erosion, agronomy and conservation agriculture. These elements and tools are combined in different research projects to find solutions and provide new ideas to make agriculture more productive and sustainable.
