At the scientific level:

1- investigation of the adaptation mechanisms of selected wheat varieties to drought could be improved by the innovative cropping system (legume intercropping, biostimulants distribution) 

2 -analysis of the effects of soil amendment (BioA and BioAD) on crop NutUE, on the composition and potential functions of the rhizosphere microbiome and on activation of effective control mechanisms against pathogens or defence traits in wheat plants.

At the agricultural level:

3-promotion of integrated approaches based on regenerative agronomic practices associated with a legume intercropping and biostimulant distribution on the growth and production of wheat in Mediterranean area.

4- improvement of the organic waste value by enrichment with metabolites and molecules of high added values thanks to the Solid State Fermentation (SSF).

5- decrease of losses due to Fusarium spp. and associated contamination of mycotoxins.

At the technological level:

6- identification and characterisation of new Trichoderma strains, members of the DW microbiome, which could be used as Indigenous microbial inocula to ameliorate plant fitness and resilience to environmental stress and reduce chemical inputs.

7- selection of resilient DW varieties and traits for climate-ready crops that will ease pressure on both practitioners and farmers.

8- development of the know-how to produce an innovative biostimulant and of the technology requested to scale up its production.

9- development of a plant wastes renewable energy production system, a local biogas digester.

10- integration of the biogas digester in the circular farming system by feeding it with farming wastes and by the valorisation of its by-products (digestate) as substrate of the regenerative practice (production of biostimulant).

At economic and socio-cultural levels:

10- enhancement of the socio-economic value of these systems by guaranteeing the economic income of farmers and optimizing crop yields and grain quality traits;

11- promotion of the socio-cultural value of the Mediterranean cropping systems through dissemination of the historical, naturalistic and agronomic heritage of these ecosystems, while offering new job opportunities, particularly to women and young people.
