Policies

This policy brief summarises the MEMOLA project findings regarding the role agrobiodiversity has in reactivating Mediterranean agricultural systems. Traditional varieties are the best ambassadors of the landscape in which they are cultivated.

This policy brief summarises recently developed perspectives on soils that have emerged from the findings of the MEMOLA project. The critical environmental dependency of soils is well-established yet to date soils have been undervalued and poorly recognised as cultural materials.

An analysis of the impacts of River Basin Management Plan (2015-2021) on the historical irrigation systems in the Andalusian Mediterranean River Basins (Spain) has been performed.

In the framework of the project, the degradation of water cultural heritage was identified as an important issue within the water planning.

This policy brief summarises the findings of the MEMOLA project with regard to the impact of this policy on the water cultural heritage associated with historical irrigation systems.
