Path4Med Demonstration Sites are essential to the project's mission of combating soil and water pollution in Mediterranean agricultural landscapes. Located in several regions, these sites provide a practical environment in which innovative agricultural practices, pollution monitoring technologies and policy interventions are tested and refined.

Each Demonstration Site serves as a ‘living laboratory’, allowing researchers, farmers and local stakeholders to observe and evaluate sustainable solutions in action.

Testing of innovative technologies

The latest in pollution monitoring and data collection technologies, including IoT sensors, Earth Observation tools, and DNA-based indicators, are implemented at each site to track pollutants and assess the impact of sustainable practices.

Precision agriculture techniques

From advanced irrigation methods to tailored nutrient management, each site demonstrates how precision techniques can minimize environmental impact while supporting productive farming.

Community and stakeholder engagement

Demonstration Sites provide educational opportunities for local farmers, community members, and policymakers to witness and learn about sustainable practices.

Scalability and replicability

establishing sites in diverse Mediterranean environments, Path4Med ensures that solutions are adaptable to various agricultural contexts. This replicability is critical for promoting widespread adoption and scaling of successful practices across the region.
D.G.2 Nordic: explore novel approaches that especially account for significant or extreme weather events (precipitation and temperature) in reducing sediment, nutrients, and pesticide losses under different climatic regimes and agricultural systems in the Nordic region (including the Baltic sea).
