ReMEDI (Enhancing Resilience of Mediterranean Rice Agroecosystems through Biodiversity, Water, and Carbon Integrated Management) is an international research and innovation project funded under the European PRIMA Programme.

The project develops and tests innovative solutions for sustainable rice cultivation in Mediterranean wetlands. Its main focus is on enhancing biodiversity, improving water stewardship, increasing carbon sequestration, and strengthening the resilience of agricultural systems to climate change.

Pilot activities are being implemented in four major rice-growing and wetland regions: the Ebro Delta (Spain), the Nile Delta (Egypt), the Ticino River Basin (Italy), and the Gediz Delta (Türkiye).

The project is coordinated by Eurecat (Spain), one of Europe’s leading applied research and technology centres, with extensive expertise in climate resilience, wetland management, environmental monitoring and nature-based solutions. Eurecat is responsible for the overall scientific and administrative coordination of the consortium.

The consortium brings together research organisations, universities, environmental NGOs and specialised consulting organisations from Spain, Germany, Italy, Egypt and Türkiye.

mds leads the work on agroecological and biodynamic farming practices across the pilot sites and contributes extensive experience in regenerative agriculture, biodiversity enhancement, capacity building and international development cooperation.
