Minas Pelekanos, Sales & Training Support Executive of NEUROPUBLIC, spoke on Friday 20 May about the new CAP in the era of the European Green Agreement and the role of digitalisation, at an event for the European Professional Skills Week, organised by the educational organisation AKMI.

Themed “Green Growth”, the event took place in the main auditorium of the Training Centre and was the ideal platform for the promotion of the objectives of the new, “greener” Common Agricultural Policy and its ambitions in relation to the environment and climate. At the same time, Mr. Pelekanos’ presentation focused on how digitalisation and smart farming can help in the green transformation of the agri-food sector.

At the centre of the discussion and the questions of the more than 100 students who attended, was the innovative gaiasense smart farming system, which not only enhances the reduction of the environmental and climate footprint of the food system, but also has measurable benefits for the producer. Specifically, NEUROPUBLIC’s gaiasense can reduce up to 47% of unnecessary watering, reduce up to 28% of fertilization costs, and help reduce unnecessary spraying by up to 16%.

As a result, environmental protection and adaptation to the European Green Deal, improved competitiveness and reduced inputs, higher and better-quality production, better profit for the farmer.
