Water is becoming a bigger political issue in Europe. Water scarcity already affects many people, and the European Commission has put water resilience and better water management high on the agenda.Â
Georgia Project
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…
AGROVAR contributes to Pilot #2 in Bulgaria, focusing on the implementation of regenerative agriculture practices to optimize irrigation, fertilization, and soil health. By combining advanced soil analysis with data-driven agronomic insights, the pilot demonstrates how improved soil management can significantly enhance water efficiency and crop performance.
Across Europe and beyond, water systems are facing growing challenges. Increasing demand, environmental stress, and inefficiencies in infrastructure are putting pressure on resources that communities and industries depend on every day. Addressing these challenges requires a shift, from reactive management to proactive, data-driven decision-making.
The GEORGIA project proudly participated in the 31st Agrotica Expo, the International Fair for Agricultural Machinery, Equipment & Supplies, held in Thessaloniki from 12–15 March 2026.
Over four days, the exhibition gathered visitors from across Greece and beyond, transforming Thessaloniki into a vibrant hub of knowledge exchange, innovation, and collaboration in the agricultural sector.

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…
Last week, the GEORGIA project partners convened in Limassol, Cyprus, for the 3rd Plenary Meeting, an inspiring two-day event hosted with exceptional organisation and hospitality by The Cyprus Phassouri Plantations, ERATOSTHENES Centre of Excellence, and the Cyprus University of Technology.

Written by alchemia-nova In a world where climate change exerts unprecedented pressure on our natural resources, water is becoming an increasingly precious commodity. Traditional sources like rivers and groundwater are strained, forcing us to rethink how we approach agriculture and irrigation. The GEORGIA project is at the forefront of this paradigm shift, exploring innovative and…
The Synergy Days 2025 Conference, held on 21–22 October at De Doelen, Rotterdam, served as a vibrant meeting point for Europe’s leading innovators driving the digital transformation of the agri-food sector. The GEORGIA project, represented by Synelixis Solutions S.A. (Project Coordinator) and reframe.food (Communications Partner), actively engaged throughout the two-day event, contributing to high-level discussions…
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…
