GEOSYSTEMS HELLAS is proud to participate as a partner in the ADAPTA-IF project, titled “Developing sustainable business models using Earth Observation for climate adaptation.” The project addresses growing climate-related risks affecting agriculture, including extreme heat, drought, pests, and diseases, by improving access to actionable Earth Observation (EO) insights for decision-makers across the agricultural value chain.
Running from 1 February 2026 to 31 January 2028, the project brings together a strong consortium to design, implement, validate, and scale an Information Factory concept for adaptive agriculture. This digital Decision Support System will combine EO and non-EO data, scientific knowledge, historical trends, and archive datasets to generate services that support climate adaptation and more resilient agricultural planning.
The project includes three real-world use cases in Kenya, India, and Cyprus, focusing respectively on maize, cotton, and olives. In Cyprus, the olive use case will explore how farmers and cooperatives can benefit from EO-enabled services tailored to climate adaptation needs.
As part of the project consortium, GEOSYSTEMS HELLAS contributes its expertise in Earth Observation, geospatial technologies, and data-driven decision support, helping bridge the gap between advanced EO capabilities and practical user needs in agriculture. The project also places strong emphasis on developing sustainable business and governance models, ensuring that the services created are not only technically valuable, but also financially viable, scalable, and embedded in real operational environments.
Geosystems Hellas will play a key role to the implementation of the data platform for the Information Factory to make valuable data easily accessible to stakeholders, as well as lead on the olives in Cyprus use case to identify the specific user needs and challenges and address them with suitable EO data-driven services
The project is funded by the European Space Agency (ESA), and implemented in collaboration with CABI, Assimila Ltd, CottonConnect.
