Pilot #3 takes place at the Research Stations of Wrocław University of Environmental and Life Sciences in southwestern Poland, spanning 12 hectares in a warm, moderate climate. This region, characterized by mild winters and seasonal rainfall variability, is an ideal setting to explore sustainable solutions for water retention and soil health. Forage crops—grasses, legumes, and berry plants—demand innovative water management due to high spring water requirements. Climate challenges, like erratic rainfall and dry spells, underscore the need for retention methods that support crop growth throughout the growing season.
