MAGO: A game changer to build web applications for water and agriculture
MAGO, a PRIMA-funded project, addresses challenges in Mediterranean water management for sustainable agriculture. Launched in May 2021, its goal is to bridge the gap between research and market needs. MAGO will develop WEMED, a collaborative online platform with web applications focusing on water and agriculture in the Mediterranean. The project aims to improve water use efficiency, soil conservation, and wastewater reuse systems through innovative participatory processes and enhanced monitoring and modeling.
