On Saturday, September 28, 2024, NILEAS Producers’ Group hosted the Conference “The future of traditional olive cultivation” as part of the “2nd Oliday: Interactive Symposium”. The conference took place in Chora Messinias, Greece.

Vicky Inglezou, project manager of NILEAS Producers’ Group, presented the AgriDataValue Project which aims to revolutionize the agricultural industry through advanced technology. The project coordinator of AgriDataValue, Dr. Theodore Zahariadis, also attended the event and delivered a presentation emphasizing the crucial role of technology in addressing the challenges of sustainable farming and resource conservation.

The AgriDataValue project (Horizon Europe) in which NILEAS participates, applies a comprehensive and multidisciplinary approach to address complex issues, including smart farming. The integration of IoT, geospatial data, machine learning, and blockchain is strategically aimed at significantly improving agricultural efficiency. The project is dedicated to creating cutting-edge tools for data collection, analysis, and informed decision-making in the agricultural domain. Through IoT sensors, satellite imagery, and drones, AgriDataValue enables precise real-time monitoring and management of crops, water resources, and livestock. She pointed out that it is crucial to ensure the effective dissemination of this pioneering project to communicate its impactful outcomes, groundbreaking findings, and innovative solutions to stakeholders. The dissemination efforts will encompass high-impact conferences, targeted workshops, authoritative publications, and dynamic online platforms; all aimed at fostering knowledge exchange and engaging diverse audiences. The project’s communication objectives are unequivocal: to build a resolute and enduring collective awareness of the pivotal role and vast potential of smart farming and agri-environmental monitoring in driving the achievement of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
