The showcase
Together withn SSSA, Aedit will manage the showcase located in Italy (Tuscany). The showcase is based on a group of small and low-input (or organic) olive farms already included in the H2020 IPMworks Orchard hub, of which SSSA is part of. The digital technology which will be used in the showcase is Poderi, an App with DSSs to promote sustainable agronomic practices (i.e, fertilization, irrigation, crop protection) in olive growing and to support in-field monitoring. Poderi has been created within a living lab of H2020 FAIRshare project with farm advisors and olive growers.
The involved olive farms will test Poderi in supporting agroecological approaches towards sustainable pest control and resources management.
