Rafael Casielles from BIOAZUL participated as a distinguished panelist at the recent 2024 Congress of European Farmers, organized by Copa-Cogeca in Bucharest from October 23-25. This important event gathered leaders across European agriculture to discuss pressing issues such as climate change, water scarcity, and the challenges facing rural communities. Representing BIOAZUL, Casielles shared insights on sustainable water management innovations aimed at strengthening resilience within agriculture.

Empowering Agriculture through Knowledge and Water Reuse

In the workshop “Water: Cultivating Resilience in Agricultural Water Management,” Casielles highlighted BIOAZUL’s commitment to advancing sustainable water practices. He emphasized the BOOST-IN Project, a pioneering initiative designed to bridge knowledge gaps and promote water reuse in agriculture. By creating a comprehensive database of water reuse innovations, BOOST-IN aims to empower farmers and policymakers alike with accessible, practical solutions.

BOOST-IN Project: Supporting Sustainable Agriculture Across Europe

Casielles introduced BOOST-IN’s core contributions:

  • Knowledge Hub for Water Reuse: BOOST-IN’s database consolidates critical information on water reuse technologies and sustainable farming practices, offering tailored recommendations for farmers and policymakers.
  • Localized and Pan-European Focus: BOOST-IN targets six key European regions, delivering solutions that address both local challenges and continent-wide water resilience needs.
