Space4Green project will allow the pilot to improve the monitoring and auditing of the rules of the common agricultural policy; ease the deployment of audits carried out by the administration, and decrease the time needed to perform the payment of aid to farmers. With improved data traceability, the Space4Green project will validate the correctness of the information presented, leading to a more accurate representation of the reality on the ground.

By participating in the Space4Green project, the Appellation of Origin Lucena’s Olive Oil aims to strengthen its mission of ensuring the origin and quality of its Extra Virgin Olive Oil. The uptake of Space4Green traceability system will allow consumers access to the most relevant and verified information about local food production.

Space4green will offer the technological means of documenting the origin of the unique local Cypriot wines and adopting sustainable production systems already being implemented in the country. Therefore, it is expected that Space4Green will increase the added value of the local wines and open new market horizons for the benefit of the producers and the local and national economy.

In this pilot, cotton producers of the Agricultural Cooperative of Pella (Greece) will be involved in the Space4Green ecosystem with the aim of addressing the current problem of communication discontinuity and improve the flow of information between farmers, processors and traders. Space4Green will provide a series of Environmental Sustainability Indicators, allowing the safe acquisition of geolocated and timestamped information about the applied production practices and the responsible use of farming inputs, as well as identify any potential instances of misuse.

The wine sector is particularly interested in tools to verify the designation of origin, which is already experiencing increased demand in Cyprus, and tools to verify farmers’ environmental performance. With Space4Green, ZAMBARTAS Wineries will be able to ensure safe and continuous monitoring of their own farms and farmers’ parcels with regard to the sustainability of their farming practices.
