We are pleased to announce that E-SPFdigit has joined the MAR2PROTECT Clustering Activities Network as a new sister project. Both initiatives will collaborate through joint actions and knowledge exchange in the coming months.
E-SPFdigit aims to develop digital tools for real-time soil and crop monitoring of contaminants — including PFAS, pesticides, heavy metals, and nutrients — at pilot sites in Greece and Spain. Advancing technologies from TRL-5 to TRL-8, the project combines advanced sensors, AI-driven data models, and machine learning to build a remote-sensing framework using autonomous robots and drones.
By integrating Earth Observation data, E-SPFdigit will enhance predictive insights into soil health. All tools will be incorporated into a secure Decision Support System (DSS), enabling informed and automated decisions for sustainable soil management.
Together, MAR2PROTECT and E-SPFdigit will strengthen the European research ecosystem on contaminant monitoring and remediation, promoting innovation and collaboration towards a cleaner environment.
