Objective The International Congress InterDrought-II (ID-2), to be held at FAO, Rome, in September 2005 willattract the best researchers on water use efficiency and agriculture from all around the world. ID-2 willprovide a unique opportunity to present and discuss the most recent scientific and technologicaladvances on how to mitigate the effects of drought on crop productivity.In such context, the WUEMED workshop herein proposed, will be held at the end of ID-2, andworkshop participants will interact with ID-2 participants through different activities. The objective ofWUEMED is to build up a multidisciplinary forum (with researchers, policy makers and end users)where to discuss how the knowledge and technology generated through the past and ongoingINCO-MED projects together with the scientific evidence presented in ID-2 may be transferred totechnical improvements and from that to Mediterranean agriculture. The participants will eventuallyidentify what are the promising techniques and practices to improve water use efficiency andsustainability of Mediterranean agriculture, and the miscellaneous constraints that limit their adoptionfor the end users. Keywords Sustainable agriculture water use efficiency drought tolerance.
