Operational adaptation of WEFE (Water, Energy, Food and Ecosystems) Nexus-based systems solutions in Mediterranean
DIONYSUS is a PRIMA-funded project (2024-2026) on the Nexus approach in the Mediterranean Region, coordinated by CIHEAM-IAMM in Montpellier.
In common culture, Dionysus is often associated with being the god of wine. However, in Greek mythology, Dionysus symbolized the regeneration and the arrival of spring. According to ancient Greek beliefs, Dionysus was seen as the god who brought about the renewal of life in the springtime after a period of dormancy. Similarly, the objective of the DIONYSUS project is to bring about a new spring in WEFE (Water-Energy-Food-Ecosystems) resources in the Mediterranean Basin
Based on 4 Demonstration Sites (Egypt, Greece, Morocco, and Italy) and 3 Replication Sites (Algeria, Tunisia, and Türkiye) that produce cornerstone agricultural products (i.e. cereal crops, fruits, vegetables, cotton, livestock, fodders, and other industrial crops), and by considering the main trends for the next 30 years of climate, natural resources (water, soil), urbanization (including migration and labor), markets (supply, demand, prices), and macroeconomic variables (i.e., GDP, interest rates, investment in agriculture), the project objective is to co-design, test and develop operational adaptation solutions and sustainable market solutions via innovative business-based models for the efficient and sustainable use of water-energy-food-ecosystem resources, that rely on local and regional initiatives, bring together and engage local and international stakeholders, and use a Cross-Sectoral Nexus adaptation tool for a transition to a Green Economy and Sustainable Development.
