ICOVINE
ICOVINE A multimodal approach for water and carbon monitoring in vineyards
Implemented on Living Lab
Organisation
Description
The project aims to investigate the complex dynamics of the water distribution in the soil when a drip irrigation system is used in vineyards and to measure the CO2 uptake and emission to provide a validated assessment of soil health and optimize resource efficiency by integrating ground-based IoT sensors, drones, and satellite imagery.
Beneficiaries
The project primarily benefits winegrowers, researchers, policymakers, and the environment.
DRY SAF
DRY SAF
Implemented on Living Lab
Organisation
Description
DRY-SAF aims to democratize agroforestry through a mechanized "single-pass" prototype that integrates soil decompaction, multi-species seeding, and automated transplanting. The project validates no-irrigation models, using successional agroforestry systems (SAF), to reduce current establishment costs by 70% while enhancing soil water retention and biodiversity.
Beneficiaries
The project primarily benefits regenerative farmers, agricultural SMEs, local communities, and the Mediterranean environment through cost-effective and drought-resilient land management.
MOBIGEN
MOBIGEN
Implemented on Living Lab
Organisation
Description
Building offgrid, no fuel needed woody biomass pyrolyser to transform agricultural residues in to biochar and wood vinegar those will be used for soil salinity, ammonium pollution in soil and less chemical usage.
Beneficiaries
Farmers around the region, waste management SMEs, municipal waste managers, environment, local community.
SENSE4SOIL
SENSE4SOIL
Implemented on Living Lab
Organisation
Description
The main objective of SENSE4SOIL is to provide an integrated, real-time monitoring and AI-driven decision-support solution designed for operational agricultural use to optimize irrigation and soil health. The core idea is to fuse mature technologies, including IoT field sensors, Sentinel-2 satellite data, and weather services, into a single platform that enables early salinity risk detection and actionable, preventive management.
Beneficiaries
The primary target groups benefiting from the project include farmers, agronomists, and irrigation communities in the horticultural and citrus sectors, as well as the environment through sustainable soil and water management.
SLP SALT
Soil Living Pack – SALT edition (SLP-SALT)
Implemented on Living Lab
Organisation
Description
SLP-SALT restores soil biological functionality in saline agricultural systems through functional diagnosis, biologically active amendments and targeted monitoring. It aims to reactivate microbial and mycorrhizal processes under salinity constraints.
Beneficiaries
Farmers, technical advisors and Living Lab actors working with saline Mediterranean agricultural soils
MAOM Track
MAOM Track - Field-testing mineral-interface sampling probes (MISPs) to quantify early accrual of mineral-associated organic matter (MAOM) carbon stocks following soil restoration
Implemented on Living Lab
Organisation
Description
MAOM-TRACK will field-test mineral-interface sampling probes (MISPs) to measure early formation of mineral-associated organic matter carbon following soil restoration. The project aims to provide a rapid, field-deployable indicator of whether restoration practices are promoting long-term soil carbon storage.
Beneficiaries
Farmers, advisors, Living Lab stakeholders, soil restoration practitioners, and the environment through improved monitoring of persistent soil carbon formation.
FASST Soil
Field-scale Aerobic Soil Systems for Transformation of Soil health (FASST Soil)
Implemented on Living Lab
Organisation
Description
The project aims to deploy a shared tractor-mounted compost turner within Swedish Living Lab farms to convert local organic residual materials into high-quality, aerobic, carbon-rich compost that introduces large quantities of all beneficial microbial groups (not just bacteria). The technique optimizes aeration and microbial growth, supporting the development of diverse microbial communities and stable humic fractions, prioritizing carbon-rich feedstocks rather than manure-dominated inputs, enhancing stable carbon sequestration and soil biodiversity, improving resilience and water-holding capacity. By converting local organic waste into biologically active compost, the project optimizes nitrogen and phosphorus efficiency and enhances agricultural adaptability to climate variability.
Beneficiaries
The project directly benefits Swedish Living Lab farmers, local agricultural SMEs and the regional environment through improved soil health and reduced nutrient runoff.
NanoPhyto
NanoPhyto
Implemented on Living Lab
Organisation
Description
NanoPhyto aims to develop a low-cost, field-ready phytoremediation technology for post-mining soils. The project combines nanobubble oxygenation, metal-resistant plant-growth-promoting bacteria, organic acids amendments, and selected plants to enhance metal removal while enabling biomass valorisation through phytomining, biochar, or bioenergy pathways.
Beneficiaries
The project will benefit mining-affected local communities, environmental regulators, remediation SMEs, and the wider environment by enabling safer, greener recovery of contaminated soils.
DE-METE-R
DE-METE-R: DEcontamination with Materials for Ecological Transition and Enhanced Restoration
Implemented on Living Lab
Description
The project aims to restore degraded post-mining soils in Western Macedonia through phytoremediation, biochar-enriched compost and sensor-based monitoring. It will reduce Ni and Cr bioavailability, improve soil health and support the safe reuse of contaminated land.
Beneficiaries
Local communities, land managers, regional authorities and the environment will benefit through safer reuse of contaminated post-mining land and improved soil health.
SCALE FARM
SCALE FARM: Sensing, Cameras & AI for Land & Ecosystem Farming
Implemented on Living Lab
Organisation
Description
This proposal suggests a prototype for a decision support solution based on real-time extensive data coming from the soil and plants, AI-based analyses, and system for automated execution of irrigation and precise fertigation decisions. The 2 key objectives are reducing pollution in soil and reducing soil erosion.
Beneficiaries
The project will benefit the soil in a region of Bulgaria where vineyard crops are being common but soil erosion and soil pollution are becoming major challenges.
