Living Lab - Plant Nursery Focus
- Objective: Innovate and enhance practices in plant nurseries, specifically for fruit trees and olive trees, through collaborative, user-driven approaches.
- Collaborative Innovation: Brings together nursery operators, agricultural experts, researchers, and local communities to develop sustainable and efficient nursery practices.
- Real-World Testing: Implements and refines nursery techniques in actual growing environments, ensuring their effectiveness and adaptability.
- User-Centric Approach: Involves nursery managers and farmers in the innovation process to ensure that solutions are practical and meet the specific needs of growing fruit and olive trees.
- Sustainability Focus: Emphasizes sustainable practices such as reducing water usage, using organic fertilizers, and minimizing chemical inputs in the propagation and growth of plants.
- Technology Development: Develops and applies advanced technologies for plant propagation, disease management, and soil health, tailored to fruit and olive tree nurseries.
- Knowledge Sharing: Facilitates the exchange of best practices and innovations between nurseries, researchers, and agricultural communities to improve overall nursery operations.
- Scalability: Aims to create scalable nursery practices that can be adapted to different regions and climates, particularly for olive and fruit tree production.
