DigiMedFor

DigiMedFor – Digital tools and technology systems for the sustainable management of Mediterranean Forest resources.



[Project duration: 1 June 2023 – 30 may 2026]

COORDINATOR


Department of Agricultural Sciences – University of Naples FEDERICO II

PROJECT

The Mediterranean region is home to more than 25 million hectares of forests and nearly 50 million hectares of forested land. However, climate change and socio-economic factors threaten the sustainability of these precious ecosystems. To address these challenges and ensure competitive and sustainable forest management, the DigiMedFor project was launched on 1 June 2023.


OBJECTIVES

This project aims to revolutionize and modernize the Mediterranean timber and forest-wood supply chain with cutting-edge digital solutions and shape a sustainable future for forests, ecosystems, and economies and take proactive measures in forest conservation, restoration, and utilization. In addition, the overall objective is to empower stakeholders to effectively manage forests and provide multiple ecosystem services, including traceability of wood from forests to end consumers. To achieve its goals, the DigiMedFor project combines various state-of-the-art technologies. Geospatial analysis will map and monitor forest resources, while artificial intelligence (AI) will be used to process data and generate valuable insights. Digital twin modeling technologies will simulate and optimize forest operations, while information and communication technologies (ICTs) will facilitate data collection, sharing, and analysis.
