CIHEAM Zaragoza is one of the four Mediterranean Agronomic Institutes of the CIHEAM (International Centre for Advanced Mediterranean Agronomic Studies), an intergovernmental organization working for sustainable agriculture and fisheries in the Mediterranean region. CIHEAM is composed of 13 member countries (Albania, Algeria, Egypt, France, Greece, Italy, Lebanon, Malta, Morocco, Portugal, Spain, T

unisia and Turkey); the headquarters are in Paris and the other 3 Institutes are located in Montpellier (France), Bari (Italy) and Chania (Greece). CIHEAM Zaragoza is the headquarters of the organization in Spain. It was created in 1969 and is located on the Aula Dei Campus, one of the most prestigious in agriculture and food research in the country. From this top-level scientific and technical hub, the Institute offers training of international excellence and promotes research and cooperation to address the main challenges facing agriculture, livestock, fisheries, the environment and natural resources in the Mediterranean. CIHEAM Zaragoza focuses its activities around five areas of expertise: Animal Production and Welfare; Environment and Natural Resources; Fisheries and Aquaculture; Marketing and Sustainable Agrifood Systems; and Plant Production, Health and Breeding. They are all aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) and the 2030 Agenda.

𝗟𝗼𝘄 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗰𝘁 𝗮𝗾𝘂𝗮𝗰𝘂𝗹𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲, 𝗵𝗶𝗴𝗵 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗰𝘁 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗿🌊 Over the past few days, we’ve brought together professionals from the Mediterranean and across the Atlantic to explore practical pathways towards more efficient, circular and sustainable systems.

The course focused on three key approaches: , Recirculating Aquaculture Systems ( ), and Integrated Multi-Trophic Aquaculture ( ).

Beyond the technical foundations, the programme placed strong emphasis on real-world applicability, especially for small-scale economies and coastal or rural areas where resources may be limited.

We also had the chance to visit:
🔹Green in Blue: an example of aquaponics as a commercial model.
🔹Fundació Mercè Pla: an innovative Portable Aquaponic Unit developed for educational and social purposes.

The course has been organised together with Institut de Recerca i Tecnologies Agrolimentàries - IRTA and with the support of the Spanish Agency for International Development Cooperation (AECID), the Mexican government through CIBNOR-SECIHTI (Secretaría de Ciencia), the General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean (GFCM) of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), and the European Maritime, Fisheries and Aquaculture Fund (EMFAF) through the Local Action Group Terres de l’Ebre.

Thanks to all participants, speakers and partners for contributing to four very productive days.

has significant potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and enhance soil carbon sequestration. However, the complex biological processes driving agricultural emissions make reliable assessment and effective mitigation strategies challenging.

This international course provides advanced training on emissions, soil carbon dynamics and mitigation approaches in cropping systems through lectures, case studies and practical sessions.

🎯Designed for public and private decision-makers, technical advisors, agronomists, environmental specialists and R&D professionals working on agriculture and climate change.

🤝Jointly organised by CIHEAM Zaragoza, INIA-CSIC, the Global Research Alliance on Agricultural Greenhouse Gases (GRA) and Red REMEDIA, with technical assistance from the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO).

A new international course is now under way at Institut de Recerca i Tecnologies Agrolimentàries - IRTA La Ràpita (Tarragona, Spain).

Twenty-three participants from 10 countries have gathered for four days of intensive training focused on low-impact aquaculture systems.

The programme takes a highly practical approach, combining lectures with case studies, hands-on exercises and technical visits. Our goal is for participants to leave with tools and ideas they can apply in their own projects and contexts.

Wishing everyone a productive learning experience! 🚀

👏Congratulations to the professionals from Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Libya, Morocco and Tunisia who last week successfully completed the regional course on the sensory analysis of virgin olive oils, held in .

Across 5 days, participants (panel leaders, deputy panel leaders, tasters in training, laboratory technicians, producers and olive growers) sharpened their skills in the evaluation and classification of virgin olive oils. The programme included tasting sessions based on the profile sheets of the Mario Solinas Quality Award, the world’s most prestigious award for extra virgin olive oils.

The closing session featured IOC Deputy Executive Director Abderraouf Laajimi, Chief of Staff to Tunisia’s Minister of Agriculture, Water Resources and Fisheries Haikel Hechlef, Head of Training Ramzi Belkhodja, and CEO of Tunisian Office National de l'Huile الديوان الوطني للزيت Moez Ben Amor.

Yesterday, we joined our Forest Agri Green Nudge Project partners at the 2026 Green Nudges in Agriculture & Forestry Conference in Brussels.

The event gathered researchers, policymakers, farmers and foresters from across Europe and the Mediterranean region to explore how behavioural insights and green nudges can help accelerate the transition towards more sustainable agriculture and forestry.

A truly inspiring day of knowledge-sharing and collaboration.
