The Greek government is investing in smart farming to cut food prices and reduce farming's environmental impact. The move is being supported by the European Commission and makes use of the EU's Copernicus Earth-monitoring system, which provides detailed information on land use in the country that can then be analysed to make agriculture more efficient. In a statement released today, the EU said it was "committed to supporting Greece as part of its efforts towards sustainable economic growth".
