Three years of tests point to water and energy savings

Originally announced on 28 June 2016

At the end of June 2016 the consortium summarised its field tests in six countries over three seasons. The conclusion: the platform could save significant amounts of water and energy while keeping, or raising, production and yields.

The detailed figures were later published in the deliverable on fresh water and energy savings (D7.2), listed on our project results page.
