· Section 2 Topics
Topic 2.1.1:
Water resources availability and quality within catchments and aquifers
The
scope of the call is to develop more efficient water management modelling and
monitoring, water
management models that addresses the broad impacts of global changes on
hydrological and hydraulic balance
at catchment and aquifer level in the Mediterranean region.
Topic
2.1.2: Sustainable, integrated water management
This
call intends to improve water governance taking into consideration both the
socio-economic context and
the meteo-climatic trends of the Mediterranean basin, since both of them are
considered as important drivers
of current and future water resources management.

Topic 2.2.1: Adaptation of agriculture
to climate change
The
scope of this call is to better understand how plants, soil biota and animals
adapt to environmental
constraints and why certain varieties/breeds are tolerant or resilient to
biotic and abiotic single or multiple
stresses, such as drought, multiple summer stresses, warm winters, salinity,
etc. It will allow to valorize local
genotypes taking advantage of spontaneous and domesticated biodiversity in the
Mediterranean agricultural and
animal husbandry systems.

from traditional Mediterranean diet
The
aim of this Call for Proposal is to characterize and valorise Mediterranean
traditional foods by collecting
reliable and detailed information about their objective quality (e.g.,
health-promoting nutrients and other food
components, as well as peculiar sensorial attributes) linked to the traditional
production practices and preparation
recipes. Such knowledge should be exploited to preserve the quality while
promoting a better use of more sustainable
production protocols and processing technologies to softly adapt innovation to
the foods that have characterized the
Mediterranean diet and the culinary traditions over history.
Topic 2.3.2: Food Safety in local food
chains
The
scope of this Call is to guarantee food safety in the Mediterranean environment
while preserving the cultural
heritage, along the entire food chain. The selected projects should address
research activities focused on the
elaboration and adoption of innovative solutions aimed to improve quality and
quality-control mechanisms and
techniques throughout supply chains at both local and territorial levels in
order to guarantee food safety along the entire
food chain.
Topic 2.3.3 Implications of dietary
shifts and sustainable diets for the Med populations and food industry
The
scope of this Call is to strengthen the link between the Mediterranean diet and
health benefits through the
identification of evident positive effects exerted by different active
substances contained in local products.
Research actions can also encompass the assessment of the eating habits, their
heterogeneity and their determinants in
