💧FAO in collaboration with CIHEAM-Zaragoza Announces Advanced Training Course on Wastewater Reuse for Agriculture!

The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), in collaboration with the International Center for Agricultural Research in the Dry Areas (ICARDA), the International Water Management Institute (IWMI), and the International Centre for Advanced Mediterranean Agronomic Studies (CIHEAM Zaragoza), is pleased to announce the launch of the Advanced Course on Wastewater Reuse for Agriculture, to be held in Zaragoza, Spain, from 20 to 25 October 2025.

As water scarcity intensifies in arid and semi-arid regions, the safe reuse of treated wastewater for agriculture emerges as a key solution to bridge the growing demand for food and the shrinking availability of freshwater. This course aims to build the technical capacity of professionals working in the field of non-conventional water resources by integrating key elements, technologies, and policy instruments for wastewater reuse in agriculture.

What to Expect

• In-depth sessions on treatment technologies, risk management, and regulatory frameworks
• Case studies and success stories from around the world
• Practical exercises and participatory approaches
• Technical field visits to wastewater treatment facilities and irrigation areas
• Opportunities to network with experts from FAO, ICARDA, IWMI, and leading research institutions

Target Audience: 

The course is designed for professionals with a university degree involved in water management, treatment, reuse, technical consultancy, or research in the agricultural sector. Both in-person (25 seats) and online (25 seats) participation options are available.
