Impact Funding Resources
PRIMA 2025’s call is strategically designed to fill gaps identified in previous funding cycles while responding to emerging regional challenges exacerbated by climate change or the COVID-19 pandemic, among other barriers. Recent climate-related events, including flooding in Southern and Eastern Europe, have disrupted agriculture and resource stability, leaving many Mediterranean countries vulnerable.
The programme emphasizes environmental resilience through ecosystem restoration, particularly implementing nature-based solutions in farming and water management. These approaches are vital for supporting biodiversity, regulating water resources, and enhancing climate adaptation in the region’s increasingly threatened ecosystems

The programme emphasizes environmental resilience through ecosystem restoration, particularly implementing nature-based solutions in farming and water management. These approaches are vital for supporting biodiversity, regulating water resources, and enhancing climate adaptation in the region’s increasingly threatened ecosystems
Across its three thematic areas, PRIMA is targeting specific gaps:
• Water Management: Advancing digital tools like AI and IoT for adaptive water management, with greater focus on impact assessments for policy development
• Farming Systems: Promoting precision agriculture for smallholders and supporting biodiversity, soil health, and inclusive farming practices
• Agri-food Value Chain: Fostering consumer engagement for sustainable choices, expanding plant-based protein options, and enhancing traceability solutions
The 2025 Work Programme is organized into two main sections:
• Section 1 (EU-funded): Three calls covering Water Management, Farming Systems, and Agri-food Value Chain, with approximately 12 projects expected (€2.7 million each)
• Section 2 (Participating States-funded): A multi-topic call across all thematic areas, with about 20 projects anticipated (€1.5 million each)
