Spanish SME, awarded in 2020 as partner in a PRIMA project, is offering to join a Consortium under 2021 calls in order to offer to the project 3 pilot sites, to test novel technologies and implement experiments for the primary sector in line with PRIMA thematic areas. The following experimental sites are available: 1- Wetland, nearby the Special Protection Area “Marjal dels Moros”, near Valencia (Eastern Spain), for the conservation of wild birds, fitted with an aquifer currently used for agriculture irrigation, which makes it perfect to test solutions for water purification and desalination. 2- 12 ha pilot of controlled fruit trees (Citrus reticulata, Clemenules, Citrus sinensis) near Valencia and under production, ideal for agricultural testing and experiments in soil quality, plagues control, and new farming technologies. 3- 200 ha of Forest area in ‘Maestrazgo Mountains’ (Teruel, Spain), for data collection and new technologies testing (sensors, drones …) for SFM, soil quality, forestry ecosystem biodiversity, climate change effects and resilience studies, as well as sustainable tourism. This pilot also counts with a 25 ha pilot area for agriculture (mainly cereal crops Triticum aestivum, Hordeum vulgare, Onobrychis viciifolia Scop) and livestock (mainly bovine) activities. Thanks to availability of these areas and a sound knowledge of their ecosystem, both in terms of natural resources and local/regional stakeholders, LOMARTOV can guide studies on sustainable agriculture and SFM, monitoring, assessing and reporting on the implementation of SFM techniques, as well as scientific analysis and data collection on, i.e. precision agriculture, land degradation, fragmentation, soil properties, fire protection, common bird species, soil carbon sequestration and regeneration.
