GEORGIA’s Cyprus pilot at CPPC explores how reclaimed wastewater, Nature-Based Solutions and precision monitoring can support more sustainable citrus production under Mediterranean water-scarcity conditions.
Georgia Project
GEORGIA joins the AgroTech Hub Cluster to strengthen collaboration with EU-funded projects working on climate-resilient agriculture, drought adaptation, digital innovation and smarter water management.
Satellites can detect crop stress across large areas, while drones provide the high-resolution detail needed to validate findings and support smarter irrigation, fertilisation and field management.
Around Corinth, GEORGIA is testing smart water management in real orchard conditions, combining SynField monitoring, reclaimed water use and data-informed irrigation to support better water and fertiliser efficiency.
In Serbia, GEORGIA partner Terra Littera is putting sustainable agriculture into practice through Pilot 1. The pilot combines smart irrigation, sensor-based monitoring, rainwater reuse, BioWAG and agroecological practices across diverse crops and irrigation systems. By testing these solutions in real farming conditions, Terra Littera helps demonstrate how digital innovation and circular water management can support…
Water scarcity is becoming one of the most important challenges in modern agriculture. In many regions, farmers are increasingly facing longer drought periods, irregular rainfall, and a growing need to use water resources more efficiently. This is particularly difficult in soils with low water-retention capacity, such as sandy or sandy-loam soils, where moisture can quickly…
The GEORGIA project has successfully reached Milestone 4: “Nature-Based Solutions (NBS) & AI-supported Smart Irrigation Baseline is developed and ready to be integrated with Irrigation Systems.” This achievement establishes the scientific and technological foundation of the project’s intelligent irrigation ecosystem, bringing together artificial intelligence, real-time monitoring, digital modelling and nature-based solutions into a single operational…
In our previous post, we looked at how Europe is starting to rethink its water rules, including the Water Framework Directive and the Water Reuse Regulation. These discussions are not just technical updates, they are happening at a time when climate change is already affecting how water is used and managed across Europe. This creates…
Long before drought is visible in cracked soil, reduced yields or stressed crops, pressure has already been building inside the system. Rainfall becomes less predictable. Soil loses part of its capacity to retain moisture. Irrigation decisions become harder to plan. Groundwater and surface water resources come under increasing pressure. Farmers are asked to produce more…

Smart Farming from Space: Protecting Water and Soil in Dry Lands
Imagine a place where water is more precious than gold. In the semi-arid landscape of the Eastern Mediterranean, specifically Cyprus, this is a daily reality. With agriculture consuming a staggering 69% of…
Every year on 5 June, World Environment Day serves as a reminder that protecting our environment requires both awareness and action. This year's theme, #NowForClimate, calls attention to the growing environmental and climate challenges affecting communities around the world and the urgent need to respond.
For agriculture, these challenges are already being felt.

Across Europe and beyond, agriculture is facing a new water reality. Rainfall is becoming less predictable, droughts are becoming more frequent, and pressure on freshwater resources is increasing. For many farming regions, relying only on conventional freshwater irrigation is no longer enough. A…
