The newly launched Farming for Water European Innovation Project (EIP) has the potential to have a wide-reaching impact, the project’s head has said.
Local Authorities Water Programme lead on Farming for Water Mairead Whitty, said the EIP needs to draw on relationships with the project’s many partners.
“It has the potential to have huge reach if we maximise all those collaboration opportunities. It’s the first time this type of project has been attempted at scale and nature-based solutions are a part of the project,” she said.
