PROJECT MANAGEMENT
AND COORDINATION

WP1 aims at timely and qualitative execution of the project within the set rules, timeline and estimated budget. 

Its specific objectives are:

  • to ensure successful execution of the activities through appropriate coordination; 
  • to evaluate the progress, assess the possible risks and take necessary mitigation measures;
  • to ensure production of quality results and reporting administrative and scientific deliverables, in compliance with the standard rules and regulations; 
  • to manage the Intellectual Property Rights;
  • to manage and control the project budget, and
  • to act as a contact point and liaison between the consortium and the EC.

ON-SITE SENSOR PLATFORMS DEVELOPMENT AND OPTIMISATION

WP2 will focus on the development and validation of 4 different sensor platforms: 

  • a stationary platform for continuous permanent monitoring of soil and air, 
  • two mobile platforms (one for soil mapping, one for crop mapping) and 
  • a platform for remote sensing. In addition, tools for performing a microbiome analysis will be developed.

DATA CAPTURING AND QUALITY ASSURANCE

The objective of WP3 is 

  • to evaluate the measurement means and protocol to remote sensing plants and food due to soil contamination under controlled conditions, and
  • to collect data from soil, vegetation, and food following a standardised and protocol-driven approach.

MODELING
AND
MAPPING

WP4 is dedicated to the establishment of a comprehensive and sophisticated framework for the precise prediction, modelling, and mapping of contaminants in soil and crops. Drawing upon data from sensors, as well as remote sensing information generated and collected in preceding working packages (WP2&3), this endeavour harnesses the power of advanced machine learning algorithms. Furthermore, it is focused on the development of innovative automated mapping solutions. By ardently pursuing this objective, we aspire to realise the potential for accurate, scalable, and timely assessments of contamination levels. Ultimately, these achievements will serve as the cornerstone for the construction of a robust DSS.

DECISION SUPPORTING SYSTEM FOR SOIL MANAGEMENT

The objectives of WP5 are: 

  • the development of a data acquisition, 
  • the analysis and decision platform for the consideration of soil contamination in soil cultivation, 
  • the fertilisation and plant protection.

DEMONSTRATION

The objective of WP6 is to systematically implement and evaluate the efficacy of the WHEATWATCHER monitoring platforms for soil nutrients and crop responses, alongside chemical and biological stressors, under controlled conditions and real-field environments. This will yield quantifiable data to make actionable management decisions aimed at securing safe agri-food production. Each pilot site leader will provide “external” data and integrate it in the database generated in WPs 4 and 5 (i.e. observations by farmers, local measurement stations, local policies, historical data).

FOOD
TRACEABILITY

FOOD
TRACEABILITY

The objective of WP7 is to develop a complete food traceability system to track the path of food products from their point of origin through all stages of production, processing, distribution, storage, and consumption.

DISSEMINATION AND EXPLOITATION

FOOD
TRACEABILITY

WP8 aims to design and implement a powerful communication campaign, to create a distinctive and strong project branding, to establish results and impact oriented collaborations, and to ensure that knowledge is effectively disseminated and exploited.
