Description
Agriculture is an important economic sector in the EU. It is also an important source of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. As such, the EU is committed to reducing agricultural GHG emissions. However, success hinges on the synergy among all stakeholders in the quadruple helix model of innovation that covers science, policy, industry and society. In this context, the EU-funded CARBONICA project will establish an Excellence Hub connecting the innovation ecosystems of Cyprus, Greece and North Macedonia. It will also increase their capacity as service providers based on advanced technologies such as Earth Observation, in situ data and digital agriculture. CARBONICA will provide access to excellence to all relevant stakeholders and reinforce regional innovation.
