Written by Cambium — Leben in Gemeinschaft (LIG) Circular agriculture is redefining how we think about farming, resource use, and long-term sustainability. Traditional agricultural systems typically follow a one-way path: resources are extracted, food is produced, and waste, whether water, nutrients, or organic matter, is discarded. In contrast, a circular economy approach aims to close…
Written by Ioannis Oikonomidis, Irene Diamantopoulou | Netcompany Water is the lifeblood of agriculture, but as we face increasingly unpredictable climate patterns and droughts across Europe, treating it as an infinite resource is no longer an option. At the GEORGIA Research Project (Green dEal cOmpliant iRriGation Increasing Europe’s Agriculture resilience to drought), funded by the…
Written by Synelixis As climate variability intensifies and water becomes increasingly scarce, the ability to monitor field conditions in real time has become essential for sustainable agriculture. Within the GEORGIA project, SynField, an advanced IoT-based smart sensing platform developed by Synelixis, plays a central role in enabling data-driven and climate-resilient farming. Deployed across all GEORGIA…

Written by Eratosthenes Centre of Excellence (ECoE) Agricultural water demand is increasing due to rising food production required to meet the dietary needs of a growing global population. At the same time, the ongoing climate change and the unsustainable water use are placing additional pressure on the already limited water supplies. Farmers, water managers and…
Written by Eratosthenes Centre of Excellence (ECoE) Rapid advancements in computer science and the growing availability of satellite Earth observation (EO) data are transforming agriculture and water management. EO offers timely, accurate, and reliable information for agricultural and water resources monitoring across different spatial resolutions. This information is of crucial importance, especially in the context…
Most of us rarely think about what happens after water disappears down the drain. Whether it’s from toilets, sinks, or showers, wastewater vanishes into underground pipes and far-off treatment plants. Out of sight, out of mind. But in times of water scarcity, rising fertilizer costs, and increasing pressure on agriculture, this hidden flow is far…
