With the research carried out by departments of the Agricultural University of Athens, led by Professor Dionysios Kalyvas, in the Nemea vineyard, it is expected that in the near future, the balance in both the cultivation zone of the area and other zones and crops will change.
\nAgriculture has digital systems and must quickly start using them, according to Dionysios Kalyvas, Professor at the Agricultural University of Athens and organizer of the 3rd GIS and Spatial Analysis in Agriculture and the Environment Conference, which started on December 11. During the conference, an interesting study was presented, aiming to change the way we approach PDO zones.
\nThrough the collection of thousands of data points, every inch of soil within 300,000 square meters in the Nemea area has been mapped over the last few years. Alongside this, meteorological data from 13 stations, satellite analyses, and additional data, such as the microbial load of the soil, were stored on the researchers' hard drives. It became evident that the zone is not a homogeneous area. For example, in two different points of the same zone, temperature differences of up to 10\u00b0C are recorded. Moreover, with planting line precision, the distinct imprint of the soil on wine during fermentation is visible.
\nIn this context, the researchers argue that the zone model, \u201cas we experienced it since the 1990s as a certification process, is outdated,\u201d according to Euthymia Tsakalidou, Professor of Food Science at AUA, who participated with her team in the monumental scientific project, which is being implemented based on the standards established by similar research from UC Davis in California. It should be noted that these are the first findings, with the researchers striving to advance the research and committing to deliver a full server of data to the Nemea Wine Producers Association once the process is complete.
\nWhat the researchers highlight is the \u201cgap\u201d that the PDO model presents, i.e., the whole effort to sell an agricultural product with added value due to the special conditions prevailing where it was produced, making it stand out on the shelf. This happened either with unfair practices that \"introduce\" raw materials into the zone or with the inability of sub-zones to produce according to the standards of the broader zone.
\n\u201cThis research is not done purely out of scientific interest,\u201d says Dr. Tsakalidou. \u201cWe are trying to highlight a tool for origin authentication and certification, so that the producer can confidently say, \u2018this is my product.\u2019\u201d In this way, past certification issues are overcome, while at the same time, a new organoleptic fingerprint is defined in the final product, which could renew and enhance its commercial appeal.
\nThe Agricultural University of Athens is serving the transition to digital spatial technology. Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and spatial analysis in general contribute to the creation of a green economy and sustainable development, with a focus on environmental protection, strategies increasingly adopted by companies both domestically and internationally.
\nA special session titled \u201cDigital Agriculture (Spatially Defined): Education and Market Needs\u201d will take place on the first day of the conference.
\nIn the coming days, there will be scientific oral presentations on the following topics:
\nSoil and Water Resources \u2013 Land Evaluation
\nWeb-GIS, Cloud Services, Satellite Data \u2013 Application Development
\nProtection of Animal \u2013 Plant Production (Pests \u2013 Diseases \u2013 Pathologies)
\nSpatial Digital Management of Farmlands
\nSpatial Analysis \u2013 Spatial DSS
\nUrban \u2013 Peri-urban Green
\nNatural Hazards \u2013 Natural Disasters, poster presentations, and educational workshops.<\/p>
