FERTINNOWA – Transfer of INNOvative techniques for sustainable WAter use in FERtigated crops

In European countries, the cultivation of fertigated crops experience scarcity of water, and the intensity of cultivation poses significant risks to water quality.
The main objective of the FERTINNOWA network is to create a meta-knowledge database on innovative technologies and practices for fertigation of horticultural crops. FERTINNOWA also aims to build a knowledge exchange platform to evaluate existing and novel technologies (innovation potential, synergies, gaps, barriers) for fertigated crops.
A multi-actor integrated approach with special focus on the EU Water Framework Directive and Nitrate Directive is to be used.
