Our news

Our digital platform Schemis is now one of the web applications certified by the Greek payment authority for use in eco-schemes. Our platform has been designed to meet the requirements linked with the application of eco-schemes and provides a detailed farm diary that records and links all the farming activities in an integrated management plan.

SCHEMIS can be used by both farmers and advisors providing:

• Management of farm advices that are registered by agricultural advisors
• Environmental Management Scheme linking all farm activities in an integrated management plan
• Complete electronic farm diary based on recorded farm practices
• Nutrient balance sheets

AGRENAOS has participated in the EU CAP Network conference “EIP-AGRI Operational Groups: Innovation in practice” in Portugal, from 6 May to 8 May 2024. The conference was organised in combination with the ‘EIP-AGRI Innovation Awards’. More than 550 participants presented the results from their OGs from all EU member states. Our company participated with two OGs (ZERO TUTA & Daco-TECH) and was active in the workshops of the conference by presenting our opinions for better coordination between partners and more active dissemination of results in the farming sector.

AGRENAOS will participate as a connected partner and a Key National Contact Point for the project CORENET aiming to disseminate available know-how regarding advisory services for the short food supply chain. The project will evaluate and describe the effect of the advisory services related to the establishment of short food supply chains and will identify exeptional case studies as golden cases aiming to disseminate their key elements of success. To learn more about the project visit the project’s website CORENET.

Our journey has just begun! The kick-off meeting of our newly started HorizonEurope project Shield4Grape in Turin has been amazing! In the next 3 years new breeding techniques, hybrids and local grape varieties and IPM practices will be identified and tested for increasing resilience against pathogens.

Our company participated last week in a number of events that were organised by EU CAP Network. On the 20th of February the company manager Christos Karatzas presented in Brussels the outcome of the session focusing on raising awareness for eco-schemes on the 2nd meeting of the TG for implementing eco-schemes. The next two days our colleague Christos Lymperopoulos participated in the workshop for lifelong learning for agricultural advisors, that took place in Vienna. Both events offered valuable insight for our work and strengthened our European network.

During the 1st meeting of the Thematic Group on the design and implementation of eco-schemes, organized by EU CAP Network, AGRENAOS had the opportunity to present the advisors’ perspective on this hot issue. The presentation by Christos Karatzas focused on the current challenges that farmers face in the new CAP but also on the opportunities for farm advisory services to inform them about the new green architecture and support the farming community to implement more environmentally friendly practices. For more info about the event: https://lnkd.in/d8_yTya2
