Ecosystem Corner
Welcome to Nostradamus’ Ecosystem Corner
At Nostradamus, we believe that collaboration is essential to tackling today’s complex agricultural challenges. By fostering strong partnerships, we’re shaping a resilient, inclusive, and innovation-driven agricultural ecosystem that supports farmers, researchers, and stakeholders across the entire value chain.
Working hand in hand with European projects, initiatives, and networks, we amplify our collective impact and promote the exchange of knowledge and expertise.
Through these strategic synergies, we’re co-creating integrated solutions that drive sustainable land use, climate resilience, and community wellbeing across Europe.
Below you can explore our synergy projects, with whom we’re collaborating to advance the future of digital and sustainable agriculture.
The Projects

Climate change, biodiversity loss and unsustainable land management practices represent urgent challenges for the EU’s climate goals. The EU-funded LandShift project will develop solutions to reduce biogenic emissions, enhance ecosystem resilience and promote sustainable resource management. It supports the EU’s climate goals by maximising net removals from land use, land use change and forestry and minimising emissions from agriculture. Utilising Living Earths and integrating FAO LCCS with optimised Earth observation data will help to implement tailored strategies for local contexts, emphasising stakeholder engagement. The project will incorporate nature-based solutions, in line with the New European Bauhaus, and establish robust monitoring, reporting and verification systems to measure its strategies’ impact on emissions and ecosystem health.

Over the last decade, agricultural digital technologies (ADTs) have gained popularity for enhancing the economic and environmental performance of the agricultural sector. Despite their benefits, challenges such as high costs, a lack of trust in data sharing, and poor network connectivity in remote areas have hindered EU farmers from adopting these technologies. The EU-funded OpenAgri project aims to democratise digital farming by developing innovative, cost-effective, and energy-efficient open-source software and open-hardware-based ADTs capable of operating in remote areas with weak connectivity. The project will involve farmers and farm advisors in 14 pilots across Europe. Additionally, a decision support tool will be developed to assist in selecting the most suitable ADTs for specific conditions.

EARTHONE’s mission is to provide a comprehensive understanding of the key drivers that influence GHG (greenhouse gas) emissions fluxes. The project adopts an innovative interdisciplinary approach, combining advanced data-driven technologies with on-the-ground data from vulnerable regions in Southern and Mediterranean Europe.
EARTHONE aims to reduce the gap in carbon sequestration and emissions, supporting progress toward the EU’s 2030 climate goals and 2050 carbon neutrality targets. The scalable solutions developed by the project will enhance resilience in land use and environmental management, ensuring the sustainable preservation of Europe’s natural GHG sinks while mitigating socio-economic and environmental risks.

Climate Farm Demo is a unique pan-European network of Pilot Demo Farmers (PDFs) covering 28 countries and all pedo-climatic areas. Its overall aim is to accelerate the adoption of Climate Smart Farming (CSF) practices and solutions by farmers and all actors of the Climate Smart Agriculture Knowledge & Innovation Systems (AKIS) with a view to adapting agricultural production systems to climate change and to achieving a carbon neutral agricultural sector by 2050, thereby meeting the targets of the EU Climate strategy.

The EU-funded ENFORCE project aims to promote sustainable practices and ensure environmental regulatory compliance within and between organisations. The project will use living lab and citizen science methodologies to develop innovative tools for environmental compliance. This involves bridging the gap between data reporting, monitoring and policy enforcement needs, incorporating innovative data collection, analysis and stakeholder engagement. The project will establish a pan-European collaboration hub introducing the concept of data readiness level (DRL) to assess data for legal purposes. Moreover, it will leverage geospatial intelligence and AI to advance environmental governance practices in line with the Green Deal Data Space initiative. ENFORCE will test and evaluate these tools at 8 pilot sites across 7 countries while also promoting a capacity-building programme and policy recommendation activities.

AgRimate is an innovative research initiative designed to enhance precision agriculture by integrating Artificial Intelligence (AI), and Robotics into pruning practices for high-value crops such as olive groves and vineyards. The project places a strong emphasis on human-centric digitisation, ensuring that technological advancements are seamlessly integrated into traditional farming practices to improve efficiency, sustainability, and worker well-being.
