How nature-based solutions could have an impact on water management and water availability at farm level and contribute to sustainable farming under climate change? 


The Final report of this Focus Group has now been published.

Get all the information at a glance in the nature-based solutions for water management factsheet (to be published).


Tasks:

• Collect and highlight good practices and inspiring success stories, approaches and methodologies in applying nature-based solutions at farm level in different farming systems and small water catchments.

• Analyse, and if possible value the benefits or potential drawbacks of nature-based solutions, including water availability in terms of quantity and quality, both at farm level and at small water catchment level.

• Identify challenges and opportunities for applying nature-based solutions in different European pedo-climatic regions.

• Identify capacity building experiences and socio-economic needs for implementation of proposed approach.

• Suggest innovative models to foster links between farmers, small watershed managers, advisors and applied research.

• Identify further research and knowledge needs from practice, possible gaps in technical solutions.

• Suggest innovative solutions and provide ideas for EIP-AGRI Operational Groups and other innovative projects.
