Descripción del proyecto
Tecnologías avanzadas para una agricultura resiliente al cambio climático
La agricultura es un sector económico importante en la Unión Europea (UE), así como una de las principales fuentes de emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero (GEI). Por ello, la UE está decidida a reducir las emisiones agrícolas de GEI. Sin embargo, el éxito de tal iniciativa depende de la sinergia entre todas las partes interesadas en el modelo de innovación de cuádruple hélice que comprende la ciencia, la política, la industria y la sociedad. En este contexto, el proyecto CARBONICA, financiado con fondos europeos, establecerá un centro de excelencia que conectará los ecosistemas de innovación de Chipre, Grecia y Macedonia del Norte. También se aumentará su capacidad como proveedores de servicios basados en tecnologías avanzadas como, por ejemplo, la observación de la Tierra, los datos «in situ» y la agricultura digital. A través de CARBONICA se ofrecerá acceso a la excelencia a todas las partes interesadas pertinentes y se fortalecerá la innovación regional.
Objetivo
The continuous increase of the scope and the scale of the anthropogenic activities in which agriculture plays a significant role contributes to a rapid negative impact on the carbon cycle. The impact of agriculture on CO2 emissions will be further increased, considering that the world population will reach 9.7 billion by 2050 . EU has committed to mitigate the carbon footprint from agriculture as described in the CAP (Objective 4), the European Green Deal and its flagship strategies, the Farm to Fork and the Biodiversity strategies. The efficiency of these carbon footprint from agriculture strategies will be mainly determined by the synergy amongst all stakeholders (policy, industry, academia, civil society) in the quadruple helix within the place-based innovation ecosystems. The widening countries involved in this project, Cyprus, Greece and North Macedonia, as part of the Balkan-Mediterranean region, are heavily impacted by climate change. To achieve these targets an inter- and transdisciplinary approach is required to integrate the expertise and knowledge of all relevant stakeholders and a place-based perspective and design needs-based carbon farming solutions (practices and technologies) as well as strict policies to foster shifts towards a Climate-resilient Agriculture.
The main objective of this project is to establish CARBONICA Excellence Hub by connecting the innovation ecosystems of Cyprus, Greece and North Macedonia, while enhancing their TRL as service providers, based on cutting-edge technologies (Earth Observation – EO; in situ data; digital agriculture etc.) in carbon farming. The main scope is to establish access to excellence to all relevant stakeholders in the QH of the WC, as well as strengthen regional innovation capacity guided by long-term joint R&I strategy in the carbon farming field.
