Producers and local agencies interested in the implementation of smart farming in Greece, with an emphasis on viticulture, are invited to participate. A discussion will follow on the benefits and prospects of smart farming solutions in the grape and wine sector.
The colloquium is being organised by the Agricultural Cooperative of the Greater Amyntaio Region (ASEPA), in collaboration with NEUROPUBLIC, which is coordinating the ‘Stafylos’ project (Project Code M16PLUS2-00333). The project is being funded by Measure 16 — Cooperation, Sub-measure 16.1-16.2 ‘Establishment and operation of Operational Teams of the European Innovation Partnership for agricultural productivity and sustainability’, in the context of Action 2 ‘Implementation of the Operational Plan of the Operational Groups for the productivity and sustainability of agriculture. This action is being implemented in the framework of the Rural Development Programme (RDP) of Greece 2014-2020 which is being co-funded by the EU – European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development (EAFRD).
The main goal of the project is to design and develop a smart farming system using cutting-edge technologies to promote best cultivation practices. The ultimate goal is to reduce the cost of production per hectare of cultivation and, at the same time, to improve the quality of table and wine grapes.
