In 2024, PRIMA launched a call focused on “Revitalizing Agroforestry Practices for Sustainable Land Use and Climate Resilience in the Mediterranean,” which has led to an exciting new wave of innovation and collaboration. Thanks to this call, 11 new agroforestry projects have joined the PRIMA Family, bringing the total number of agroforestry-related projects funded by PRIMA to 15. With a combined budget of 17.27 million euros (€17.27M), these projects are contributing to the transformation of Mediterranean agriculture through sustainable, climate-resilient practices.

Here’s a closer look at some of the innovative projects PRIMA is supporting:
