CARBONICA at “Days for young researchers from the faculty of agriculture” – University of Goce Delchev Shtip

Green Growth Platform attended the CARBONICA project workshop organized by the University of Goce Delchev Shtip titled “Science and practice: current state of the real conditions”. This workshop was part of the “Days for young researchers from the faculty of agriculture” event which includes a student conference, workshops and several networking events targeted at young students and scientists from the field of agriculture.

The workshop presented the main goals of the project along with the main tasks and activities encompassed in the working packages and the consortium of organizations responsible for the project implementation. Furthermore, there was a session dedicated to the basic principles and application of carbon farming and carbon farming technologies.

Finally, a tech session held by AgFutura technologies, the local consortium coordinator, explained the piloting and experiment related field activities and future steps in the project realization.

Project Ploutos – Semiannual Newsletter No 4

Ploutos newsletter

Project Ploutos semiannual Newsletter No. 4 is now available.
Stay up to date with all the news regarding this EU project.

In this edition you can find lots of new reading materials on topics such as Sustainable Food Supply Chains and The framework to Future Proof life. You can also read about the success stories concerning sustainable agriculture from all around the EU. Innovation in this field is also covered.

Make sure you check out what this newsletter has to offer. Some of the topics include:

  • How farmers in Greece increased their profit through sustainable innovation

Their production costs were decreased by 32 – 39% in just 2 years. Learn how this small cooperative of Greek farmers reduced their inputs by using the gaiasense Smart Farming system.

  • Success stories from our project

– Pilot 2: Here’s what parametric insurance can do for farmers

– Pilot 10: How carbon credits can lead to sustainable farming

– Pilot 4: An IT platform in Spain connects everyone involved

– Pilot 6: How selective spraying improves soil health

  • Unlocking the innovation potential

We aim to create a virtual space where practical knowledge is generated to last. The Ploutos Innovation Academy (PIA) is a virtual space where mutual knowledge exchanges around sustainability-oriented innovations (SOIs) take place. Experts from different disciplines and actors within the agrifood supply chain, who are engaged in the implementation of Sustainable Innovation Pilots (SIPs), participate in these exchanges. Additionally, actors within the agri-food supply chain, involved in different SIPs, also exchange experiences and best practices to help cope with common challenges.

  • Transforming EU agriculture

The most accredited source of free agricultural knowledge (Wikifarmer) collaborates with Ploutos! The result is an informative article that explores the ways in which gaiasense SF can manage pest control and ensure a healthy crop.
