| Résumé : | Agricultural production is indispensable for providing the essential nutrients for human life. This need has grown even more with the ever-increasing human population, but the amount of land used for agricultural production is gradually decreasing in comparison to this growing population. Increasing productivity is the only way to provide humanity with sufficient and consistent food. However, the intensive agricultural production implemented to increase yields creates environmental pollution. This environmental pollution negatively impacts water and soil, increasing the area lost to agricultural production. This, in turn, leads to the need for higher yields and the need for more intensive agricultural activities, namely the application of fertilizers and pesticides. In Italy and Spain, located in the Mediterranean basin, nutrient runoff from fertilizer, pesticide, and irrigation systems is accelerating the degradation of surface and groundwater resources, posing a threat to ecosystem services, biodiversity, and human health. The European Union also publishes directives on this issue. This situation highlights the need for region-specific strategies and technologies. This thesis investigates the applicability of pollution prevention technologies (PPT), particularly bio-reactors and constructed wetlands, to the Mediterranean environment in Italy and Spain. These technologies are being implemented in designated pilot regions. This thesis will examine the strengths and weaknesses of the technologies implemented in selected pilot regions in Italy and Spain, as well as the opportunities and threats they pose. A SWOT analysis will identify factors that hinder or contribute to the wider adoption of the technologies implemented in the selected pilot regions. |
