On Wednesday, February 26, Vicky Inglezou, Project Manager of the NILEAS Producers Group, presented the AgriDataValue Project at the informative Workshop on Carbon Farming, entitled: “Prospects & Challenges of Carbon Farming”, within the framework of the Erasmus+ Carbon Farming HUB program.

Held in Lesvos Chamber (Mytilene), Ms. Inglezou highlighted the AgriDataValue Project’s mission to enhance agricultural digital transformation in Europe. The project aims to create a digital platform that integrates real-time data from ground sensors and agrometeorological stations with multispectral images from satellites and drones, supporting machine learning models and smart agriculture applications.

In her presentation on olive cultivation, she emphasized smart tools that can manage risks and tackle climate challenges. She highlighted NILEAS’ three pilot use cases: disease forecasting, anti-frost control, and pest management for olive fruit flies. She concluded with the benefits of digital transformation in agriculture, including environmental impact, contribution to climate change mitigation, biodiversity preservation, improved food security, access to nutritious food, affordability, fair economic returns for producers, and promotion of fair trade.
