Networking
LIFE DIMITRA is expected to stand as an ambitious and very promising project in promoting climate mitigation in the land sector. It will significantly contribute to the reduction of GHG emissions because raw digestate storage and application on land will be avoided and mineral fertilisers will be substituted by innovative bio-based fertilisers.
LIFE DIMITRA will demonstrate a transformative impact which will contribute to the shift towards a resource-efficient low carbon economy, producing biobased fertilisers advantageous both in circularity and GHG emissions terms.

The overall aim of the CIRCforBIO project is to achieve high GHG emission savings from the substitution of fossil fuels with advanced biofuels, as well as to promote the realization of the circular economy concept for biomass. This will be achieved through (i) implementing and demonstrating an innovative biorefinery concept to produce bioethanol, and (ii) developing an interactive platform to promote the circular economy for second-generation biomass in Greece.

Online Meeting LIFE-DIMITRA & LIFE-AgrOassis
As part of the communication and networking actions of LIFE-AgrOassis, an online meeting was held with the LIFE-DIMITRA team, focused on the exchange of ideas, experiences, and good practices.
The two projects share common goals, particularly in promoting sustainable approaches for the production of bio-fertilisers, establishing pilot composting and bio-fertiliser units, and disseminating knowledge to the agricultural community.
Fostering collaboration between LIFE projects is a key step towards strenghtening the implementation of effective environmental solutions at the European level.
During the meeting, Panagiotis Dalias, Coordinator of LIFE-AgrOassis, presented the project’s objectives, actions, and progress to date. This was followed by a constructive discussion and mutual exchange of insights between participants. Representatives from the Department of Agriculture, KES Research Center, the Mediterranean Agronomic Institute of Chania (MAICh), and Paradeisiotis Ltd also took part in the meeting.

This project creates an ecosystem throughout the entire cereal production chain, demonstrating sustainability and competitiveness in all production stages of the flour, malting and baking industries focused on reaching the high sustainable standards of the market.
In the primary sector, the implementation of best agricultural practices (BAP) in different climatic zones and the use of innovative technologies (e.g. precision agriculture, warning systems, NIR technology) among farmers will aim to increase productivity, with greater efficiency in the use of nutrients, herbicides, fertilizers and mitigating carbon farming practices (i.e higher carbon sequestration in the soil and lower GHG emissions).In the processing industry, standardized model contracts will be created between the different sectors to ensure a consistent supply to the European market of cereal products that comply with food security standards.
As a result, a low-carbon emission cereals certification system will be created together with an “Innocereal EU” sustainability label that will identify sustainably produced bread, pasta, malt, and beer in the market. LIFE Innocereal EU works at all levels of the food chain for digital and sustainable production, mitigating GHGs, and ensuring accurate traceability and a balanced distribution of wealth.

Meeting LIFE-InnoCereal & LIFE-AgrOassis
As part of networking with other European projects, LIFE-AgrOassis was presented on May 22, 2025, at the open field day of the LIFE-InnoCereal project, which was co-organized by the Company for the Promotion of Sustainable Farming Systems and the European Conservation Agriculture Federation (ECAF) in Larissa, Greece.
The event brought together various stakeholders in the cereal value chain, such as producers, agricultural advisors, agricultural supply and equipment traders, industry representatives, researchers, and policy-makers.
The main focus of LIFE-InnoCereal is the production of cereals with a low carbon footprint. To this end, the LIFE-InnoCereal project promotes Good Agricultural Practices such as Conservation Agriculture and Regenerative Agriculture and supports innovative cultivation techniques for the establishment of a European Low Carbon Emissions Certification, which will be accompanied by an ‘InnoCereal EU’ label guaranteeing a sustainable production system for consumers.
