Strategy for the efficiency of solutions and the orientation of public policies

Prior to the development of the virtual stations system, an action plan will be defined for data selection, collection and preparation, ensuring its quality and adequacy. In addition, following the implementation of pilot tests with virtual stations integrated into enhanced irrigation applications, a report on the efficiency of the developed solutions and on policy guidance will be produced. This will form the basis of the project’s strategic approach and will be widely disseminated among public decision-makers across the Sudoe area.
This strategic document will be based on the results obtained and on the pilot trials carried out, with the aim of providing clear and applicable recommendations to improve public policies related to water resource management for agricultural purposes. It will also support decision-making processes by promoting a more efficient, sustainable and context-adapted use of water resources.

E 1.5.1 Report on the Identification of Innovative Initiatives for Phosphorus Management

This report provides a comprehensive analysis of phosphorus recovery and sustainable management initiatives in the SUDOE region, based on the results of a questionnaire completed by organizations from Portugal, Spain, and France, complemented by a document review and targeted web-based research.

The study characterizes the identified projects according to their technology readiness level (TRL), phosphorus sources, recovered products, applications, environmental benefits, and implementation challenges. It also offers an overview of the current state of innovation in phosphorus recovery across the region, highlighting opportunities to strengthen the circular economy, enhance resource security, and promote environmental sustainability.

E 1.3.1 Report on the Economic, Social and Environmental Assessment of P

This report presents an integrated assessment of the environmental, economic, and social dimensions of the phosphorus cycle in the SUDOE region. The analysis combines Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), territorial emissions data, and stakeholder consultations to characterize the current phosphorus management model and establish a baseline against which future recovery solutions can be evaluated.

The results show that the current system generates significant environmental pressures (2.53 billion kg CO₂ eq associated with fertilizer supply and 14.8 kt P/year released through wastewater treatment plant emissions), economic vulnerabilities arising from external dependency and price volatility (approximately €1.849 billion per year), and social barriers related to trust, information gaps, and the perceived viability of recovered phosphorus products.

The report identifies opportunities to move towards a more circular phosphorus management model through phosphorus recovery in wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs), agricultural optimization practices, and communication strategies tailored to different stakeholder groups. It provides a solid foundation for the subsequent phases of the ENDORSE project.
