Overcoming the barriers for scaling up circular water management in agriculture
Funds pilots that help farms use alternative water sources — like reused or desalinated water — to cope with drought and water stress.
Overcoming the barriers for scaling up circular water management in agriculture is a Horizon Europe Innovation Action from the European Commission that funds pilots helping farms use alternative water sources — like reused or desalinated water — to cope with drought and water stress. It is a single-stage action, one of many topics sharing the HORIZON-CL6-2025-02 call, with an indicative EUR 12,000…
This call wants projects that scale up alternative water sources for agriculture — rainwater harvesting, water reuse, desalination, aquifer recharge — in regions facing water stress, which the EEA says affects 30% of the EU population. It wants proposals to build farmer and consumer confidence in these sources, including on emerging-contaminant safety.
