Imagine a smart shield for farms and forests that protects them from extreme heat and drought. It uses real-time sensors and nature-based tricks to keep trees alive and soil healthy. Think of it as a high-tech weather-proofing system for the countryside to prevent wildfires and crop loss.
Mediterranean farming and forestry are facing high tree mortality and wildfires due to climate change. This threatens the economic stability of local communities and the viability of land-based businesses.
Real-time LoRaWan monitoring systems, integrated ecohydrological models, and Decision Support Systems for land management.
If you are a farm owner dealing with high tree mortality and drought — this project developed nature-based solutions and real-time monitoring that keeps your land productive. It helps you maintain the ecosystem services your business relies on. This is tested across 5 demonstration regions.
If you are a tech provider dealing with the need for remote environmental data — this project developed LoRaWan real-time monitoring systems. You can integrate these tools into your product line to offer climate-resilience tracking for Mediterranean landscapes.
If you are an insurer dealing with increasing wildfire and drought claims — this project developed Decision Support Systems and ecohydrological models. These tools allow you to better predict risks and validate resilience measures in 6 different countries.
Based on available project data, specific pricing for the tools is not listed, though the project is supported by an EU contribution of EUR 8,448,545.
Yes, the project tests solutions in 5 demonstration regions and transfers the most promising ones to 3 additional replicating regions across Europe.
Based on available project data, specific licensing terms are not provided, but the project involves 5 industry partners in the co-creation process.
The project provides implementation guidelines that contribute directly to the Nature Restoration Law regarding resilient nature and climate adaptations.
The project runs from 2024-09-01 to 2028-08-31, meaning full validation of solutions will be available by late 2028.
The consortium is diverse with 27 partners, showing a strong mix of academic research (13 partners) and practical application. With 5 industry partners and a 19% industry ratio, there is a clear path from lab to market. The inclusion of 9 'other' entities suggests strong ties to local authorities and regional governance.
