Across six European countries, GEORGIA’s seven pilot sites are testing practical irrigation solutions that capture alternative water sources, improve soil moisture retention, and safely recycle water and nutrients for more resilient agriculture.
In Poland, GEORGIA is testing BioWAG water-retaining materials in field and greenhouse trials to explore how they can improve soil water retention, crop performance and water-use efficiency during dry periods.
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 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…
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.
Changing rainfall…
The GEORGIA project was presented at the “RSCY2026 International Conference on Remote Sensing and Geo-Information of the Environment”, held from 27–29 April 2026 in Paphos, Cyprus, bringing project partners together to share ongoing work and research linked to sustainable water management and agriculture.
Crop Digital Twins (CDTs) are emerging as a promising innovation in agricultural water management. By creating dynamic virtual replicas of real crops and their growing environments, these models offer farmers and researchers a new way to better understand plant behaviour, water needs, and how irrigation can be applied more efficiently.
On the island of Santorini, where tradition and landscape are deeply intertwined, viticulture faces an increasingly pressing challenge: water scarcity. Within the framework of the GEORGIA Horizon project, an innovative pilot is exploring how alternative water sources and smart irrigation can support the future of viticulture on the island, while preserving its unique identity and…
