Exploring water resilience and sustainable agriculture with UPM students

In April 2026, Vasiliki Barou (CEIGRAM-UPM) presented the RAINS project to students of the Global Change and Agriculture course at Universidad Politécnica de Madrid.

The session explored the growing challenges of water resilience and climate adaptation in agriculture, highlighting how RAINS is testing innovative approaches to irrigation and nutrient management to support more sustainable and resilient farming.

The discussion provided an opportunity to connect research and education with the real-world challenges facing agriculture.
