Scientific validation of best practices for almonds through monitoring of an experimental almond orchard
Overview of the project
From 2025, XNatura supports Sammontana in a research and development project on the Sicilian almond supply chain through scientific monitoring of an experimental almond orchard. The objective is to optimize agricultural practices and improve the relationship between agricultural management and sustainability, developing a concrete and replicable model based on reliable scientific data. The project foresees the integration of satellite remote sensing and in-field sensors to gather evidence on biodiversity and ecosystem services, providing the scientific basis for the development of the "Almond Charter", a clear and shared document of best practices for regenerative almond cultivation.
Challenge
Develop a regenerative almond cultivation model based on scientific data.
