More specifically the project aims to:

1. Design and develop a smart IoT-based system for monitoring selected atmospheric and agronomic parameters, forecasting frost events, and provide early warnings of adverse conditions
2. Assess and predict the vulnerability and sensitivity of different types of fruit trees to frost events
3. Develop and implement anticipated responses to frost events using sustainable techniques with low carbon footprint to reduce the epiphytic populations of ice nucleation active bacteria under a critical threshold
4. Strengthening local capacities and provide guidelines about the best agricultural practices, technologies and support services, to reduce vulnerability and enhance resilience
5. Demonstrate the entire effort to several agricultural areas with different geographical and climatic characteristics
6. Develop the FROSTDEFEND Adaptation Plan to promote best available techniques and environmental practices
7. Increase awareness among target groups and end-users towards climate responsible attitudes

Action C: Implementation actions

C1. Database construction of key frost event indicators
C2. Development of the LIFE-FROSTDEFEND tool
C3. Pilot implementation and evaluation of the LIFE-FROSTDEFEND tool
C4. Replicability and transferability
C5. LIFE-FROSTDEFEND adaptation and action plan

Action D: Monitoring actions through which the effectiveness and its impact on the environment, society and economy will be monitored.
Action E: Dissemination actions, which focus on disseminating project outcomes, networking with relevant stakeholders and raising awareness.
Action F: Project management actions, defining a comprehensive work plan, planning, executing and monitoring the project progress. The after-Life plan (incl. business plan) will be designed to ensure the long-term sustainability of the project.
