The agreement, signed in Luxembourg by Greece\u2019s Minister of Environment and Energy, Stavros Papastavrou, and France\u2019s Minister of Ecological Transition, Biodiversity, Forests, Sea and Fisheries, Agn\u00e8s Pannier-Runacher, focuses on exchanging best practices, expertise, and innovative tools for sustainable forestry.<\/p>\n<p>Key areas of collaboration include the introduction of know-how and innovation in forest management, with a focus on good practices in the use of satellite data for forest protection and methods for harvesting and utilising biomass from nearby agricultural areas. The agreement reflects the shared commitment of both countries to combine their expertise and address the similarities of their forest ecosystems, aiming to advance knowledge transfer, innovative forest management, and sustainable wood product utilisation.<\/p>\n<p>These priorities align with broader European efforts to harness technology for environmental protection, as seen in projects like STELLA, which is developing an advanced digital surveillance system for early pest detection, plant health monitoring, and targeted phytosanitary measures. By combining IoT sensors, AI-driven forecasting models, drones, satellites, and mobile applications, STELLA supports eco-friendly crop protection, smarter forest management, and evidence-based policy recommendations, contributing to the EU\u2019s goals of reducing pesticide use, managing pest outbreaks, and promoting digitalisation in agriculture and forestry.<\/p><p><span style=\"font-size: 17px; letter-spacing: 0px;\">\ud83d\udc49 Read the full article on AMNA: <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amna.gr\/en\/article\/911640\/Greece-France-agreement-for-cooperation-on-forest-management\" style=\"font-size: 17px; letter-spacing: 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">Greece-France agreement for cooperation on forest management<\/a><\/p>\n<div><em><span style=\"font-size: 17px; letter-spacing: 0px;\">Credits for the featured image:&nbsp;<\/span><a style=\"font-size: 17px; background-color: #ffffff; letter-spacing: 0px;\" href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/@danee\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">Daniel Peters<\/a><span style=\"font-size: 17px; letter-spacing: 0px;\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/em><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Dimitra Fourkalidou | Head of Communications | reframe.food On 17 June 2025, Greece and&hellip;<\/p>","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":39935,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"iawp_total_views":18,"footnotes":""},"categories":[136,138],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-39934","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-blog","category-project-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stella-pss.eu\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/39934","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stella-pss.eu\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stella-pss.eu\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stella-pss.eu\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stella-pss.eu\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=39934"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/stella-pss.eu\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/39934\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stella-pss.eu\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/39935"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stella-pss.eu\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=39934"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stella-pss.eu\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=39934"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stella-pss.eu\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=39934"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
