2.8.2_Catalogue of innovations grazed woodlands Jordan
Having identified potentially useful innovations for Mediterranean grazed woodlands, the partners of LIVINGAGRO project developed a dedicated Catalogue intended to provide an overview of some of the innovations that may be useful to stakeholders involved with grazed woodlands in order to help bring together economic stakeholders and innovators who may be able to collaborate to solve common problems. This activity included assessing the stage of readiness of a potential innovation in Jordan, as well as which type of challenges it addresses.
Taking into consideration the needs expressed by Jordan stakeholders, the research team of the Regional Forest Agency for Land and Environment of Sardinia (Fo.Re.S.T.A.S.) in collaboration with the National Agricultural Research Center of Jordan (NARC) and their technical teams reviewed the information provided. Following this review, the working group went back to the innovators to address questions and fill in gaps, then incorporated the responses into the innovation descriptions. The Catalogue includes innovations related to restoration and valorising landscapes and other ecosystems services and agronomy for sustainable agroforestry systems.

This activity included assessing the stage of readiness of a potential innovation in Greece, as well as which type of challenges it addresses.
Taking into consideration the needs expressed by Greek stakeholders, the research team of the Mediterranean Agronomic Institute of Chania (MAICh) and the technical team reviewed the information provided. Following this review, the working group went back to the innovators to address questions and fill in gaps, then incorporated the responses into the innovation descriptions. The Catalogue includes innovations related to intercropping in olive groves, precision agriculture, machinery, health benefit determination, olive tree and olive oil authentication, preparation for climate change and re-use of traditional practices in agroforestry.

This activity included assessing the stage of readiness of a potential innovation in Lebanon, as well as which type of challenges it addresses.
Taking into consideration the needs expressed by Lebanese stakeholders, the research team of the Mediterranean Agronomic Institute of Chania (MAICh) in collaboration with the Lebanese Agricultural Research Institute (LARI) and their technical teams reviewed the information provided. Following this review, the working group went back to the innovators to address questions and fill in gaps, then incorporated the responses into the innovation descriptions. The Catalogue includes innovations related to precision agriculture, re-using of traditional practices in agroforestry, preparation for climate change, harvest and post-harvest managements and agronomy for sustainable agroforestry systems.
Integrated Municipal Waste Management Plan - Municipality of Sestri Levante (Italy)
This is one of the integrated Municipal Waste Management Plans (IMWMP) developed within the CLIMA project framework. The IMWMP incorporates specific measures to manage waste, including organic waste, establish ambitious waste reduction targets, and promote the reuse of organic components.
MAIA TAQA Detailed design of the pilot project - Lebanon
MAIA-TAQA has implemented demonstrator pilot projects in Lebanon, Egypt and Jordan, which have significantly advanced the cause of sustainability and resource efficiency within small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Mediterranean countries. This report provides the main features of the detail design of the Lebanese pilot project in the framework of Work Package 3 (WP3) - "Development of sustainable services in the Mediterranean area".
The pilot project in Lebanon consisted of a construction of a Waste Water Treatment Plant for the Industrial Research Institute (IRI) building, and the reuse of the treated water for irrigation purposes, with the objective to fulfill the following priorities:
- Efficient system with the best quality for price ratio
- Innovative technology for treatment, monitoring of treated water &
valorisation of sludge
- Large potential of application in local context
MAIA-TAQA Resources Efficiency Market Assessment Report
The MAIA-TAQA project focuses on developing and defining a range of innovative services in the field of resource efficiency (RE), by setting up demonstrators in 3 Mediterranean pilot areas, in Lebanon, Egypt, and Jordan. The "Resources efficiency market assessment report" provides a comprehensive overview on the selected RE services in each pilot country, the RE market situation, the RE production state, the distribution methods, the incentive and financing methods, the challenges and barriers facing the RE services implementation and the RE prospects. The data collected and analysed show that there are significant opportunities in the three pilot countries for the development of these services. The study also shows the governments’ efforts in supporting the services through different incentives and financing mechanisms, in addition to the challenges and barriers that need to be taken into consideration to develop a well-established RE eco-system.

The MedArtSal Operational plan and guidelines for policy development
This document illustrates an Operational Plan for the development of policies for the sustainable management of Mediterranean artisanal salinas, from an Ecosystem-Based Management perspective. The purpose of the document is to develop different strategic lines that improve the sustainability of the salinas. The plan's objectives include utilising a sustainability model and identifying constraints and opportunities for implementing the model. A specific sub-operational plan has been discussed for the four MedArtSal partner countries (Lebanon, Tunisia, Italy and Spain) highlighting the primary challenges faced by artisanal salt producers in keeping salt pans in operation in a profitable and sustainable manner, as well as the potential solutions and opportunities.
MedArtSal - Interest and attitude towards salt-related tourism experiences in salinas: a demand - side study in Italy
In the framework of MedArtSal project, a study was carried out to explore Italians' interest in the preferred types of salt-related tourism activities and experiences that salinas might implement to diversify their business by entering the tourism and hospitality sector. This document illustrates the methodology of the study and its findings, which provide useful information to salinas manager, policymakers, destination marketers and tourism stakeholders being somehow interested in boosting their positioning in the salt-related tourism market, a market that seems to be still in its quite early stage in Italy (as shown by the huge number of respondents that have never visited salinas).
