Based on the experiences of several agroforestry lighthouses in Morocco, Tunisia, and Turkey, TransforMed aims to support and promote a large-scale adoption of successful agroforestry systems (AFS) in saline and degraded areas to restore soil health, increase biodiversity and productivity of the agroecosystems by overcoming the socioeconomic and sociocultural barriers.

The TransforMed consortium is highly interdisciplinary, comprising partners from seven different countries—Spain, France, Turkey, Morocco, Tunisia, Portugal, and Germany. This diverse collaboration adopts a multi-actor approach to effectively design and implement solutions for each targeted context. The project is funded under the PRIMA program as part of the Farming System thematic area. The Beta Tech Center – UVIC, based in Spain, is coordination the project activities.
