SALAM-MED is focused on the process of adoption of identified technologies, management practices and practical solutions for the increased resilience of Mediterranean socio-ecosystems threatened by land and water degradation and for the recovery of degraded lands. Identification, testing, upscaling and validation of new “nature-based” technologies, management practices and monitoring solutions can effectively improve soil-plant-water interactions across MED dryland hotspots.
The analysis of the costs and benefits of these solutions and their scalability to similar situations in the MED region is how the SALAM-MED project aims to bridge the gap for the market-wide adoption of these new technologies in order to increase the resilience of MED socio-ecosystems.
