On 17 July 2025, HOPEN organised an awareness-raising and open day at the Taizé-Aizie hop pilot site in the Aquitaine region of France to showcase the work they are doing on studying the use of reclaimed water in this crop.
The event was an opportunity to discuss deficit irrigation and the reuse of treated wastewater, as well as to learn about the experimental system installed in the hop field. In addition, there was a tasting of beers made from hops grown in Galicia and Castile and León, an activity that had already been part of other events. The event was rounded off with a visit to the field with producers Cédric and James Masset.
