STARGATE a breakthrough, multiscale and holistic climate-smart agriculture methodology
Agriculture is certainly the most weather dependent economic sector, and changes in the climatic patterns are strongly affecting it, in terms of productivity, risk management, and environmental preservation. It is also true that the current farm practices are producing approximately 25% of the global greenhouse gas emissions, contributing to and further enhancing climate change, retaining a continuous cycle of altering the climate and impacting the food production system. The STARGATE project aspires to develop a breakthrough, multiscale and holistic climate smart agriculture methodology, capitalizing innovations in the field of microclimate and weather risk management, as well as in the field of landscape design. It will be based on Earth observation, weather/climate intelligence and IoT technologies to support a more effective farm management and related options for adaptation on climatic changes, policy formulation leading to better landscape management, protection against climatic risks and implementation related to mitigation on microclimate changes. The STARGATE project, coordinated by Professor Dimitrios Moshou will run until September 2023 and involves 26 partners from Greece, Czech Republic, Israel, Spain, Latvia, Switzerland, Austria, Italy, Portugal, Poland, Germany, Norway, and Belgium. https://www.stargate-h2020.eu/(si apre in una nuova finestra) Project coordinator: Professor Dimitrios Moshou dmoshou@auth.gr
