AZMUD Consortium visit to IDAI facilities
27/10/2022

AZMUD Consortium is visiting IDAI facilities, in order to validate the developments in the experimental field Naturalia.

The main objective of the research is to reduce the use of energy, water, nutrients and pesticides whilst promoting the use of wastewater in irrigation & soils for agro-food systems.

The project will improve the performance of Mediterranean greenhouses through the use of innovative plastic materials, natural additives and novel irrigation techniques.

Kick off meeting
22/04/2020

We are glad to announce that, during this past 22nd of April, it has been launched AZMUD project, by conference call due to the current COVID19 restrictions. AZMUD aims to reduce water, energy, nutrients and pesticides, whilst promoting the use of wastewater in irrigation & soilless for agro-food systems. Synergic combinations among the different proposed technologies in Mediterranean greenhouses will reduce the production cost up to 15%. To comply with this objective, AZMUD project will account with 42 months of total duration. AZMUD consortium is composed of: AIMPLAS, IDAI NATURE, Smartwall (SW), Packaging Industries Co. (PIC), Methods for Irrigation and Agriculture (MIRRA), National Research Centre (NRC), The Egyptian Russian Company for Advanced Agriculture Eco Farm (ECOFARM) and TABIT.

Thank you to all the partners and to Prima Foundation for making this Kick-off meeting run efficiently!!

The project is part of the PRIMA Secretariat, official programme supported under #H2020, the European Union’s framework programme for research and innovation EU Science, Research and Innovation.
