Sono state selezionate quaranta migliori pratiche per affrontare condizioni di siccità e scarsità d’acqua per rappresentare la vasta gamma di opportunità disponibili per gli agricoltori e i proprietari terrieri europei. Le misure mirano a utilizzare, direttamente o indirettamente, l’acqua in agricoltura, tenendo conto sia delle innovazioni tecnologiche più avanzate dell’agricoltura di precisione, sia delle conoscenze tradizionali. Le aziende agricole europee sono altamente eterogenee in termini di clima, caratteristiche socioeconomiche, supporto istituzionale, modelli di coltivazione e dimensioni dell’azienda. Data l’eterogeneità dell’agricoltura europea e la complessità del problema, non esistono soluzioni proiettili d’argento e vengono presentate numerose buone pratiche adatte alle diverse esigenze degli agricoltori europei. I casi studio sono diffusi nei sei paesi partner del progetto AGRIWATER (Belgio, Cipro, Repubblica Ceca, Germania, Italia e Spagna) e sono classificati come misure tecnologiche, tecniche, agronomiche ed economiche. Gli elementi chiave comuni alle migliori pratiche sono l’efficacia, la sostenibilità, la fattibilità tecnica e la replicabilità.
