GreenerCotton ESA Demonstration project
Supporting Cotton Transparency and Cotton Farming
from: Aug 2023 to: Jul 2025
funded by European Space Agency (ESA)
GreenerCotton services support cultivation and certification of sustainable cotton, also called “identity cotton” with satellite enabled technology.
GreenerCotton is targeting two main use cases:
- Preventing field level fraud to protect the cotton identity
- Supporting extension services (field advisory) to implement standards and improve production

Big Data to Enable Global Disruption of the Grapevine-powered Industries
from: Jan 2018 to: Dec 2020
funded by European Union, Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme
The project tries to help companies across the grapevine-powered value chain ride the big data wave, supporting business decisions with real time and cross-stream analysis of very large, diverse and multimodal data sources. The project involves wine, food and natural cosmetic companies along the value chain as well as software companies developing farm management, precision agriculture, risk management and quality control systems for these stakeholders. In the frame of the project Geocledian contributed to the development and operation of satellite data-driven data analysis tools.
