Dr. Georgia Ntatsi is an Associate Professor at the Laboratory of Vegetable Production, Agricultural University of Athens (AUA), and since 2024, the CEO of NUTRISENSE, an AUA spin-off company dedicated to advancing sustainable and economically viable fertilization practices in horticulture. Her research bridges cutting-edge science with practical agricultural applications, focusing on optimizing hydroponic and controlled-environment agriculture to enhance crop quality, yield, and resource efficiency, organic farming, intercropping, reduced tillage, and cover cropping (legume and non-legume) to improve soil health and biodiversity, field and controlled-environment studies on plant-soil interactions, nitrogen mineralization, and nitrate leaching to optimize fertilization strategies, innovative plant nutrition strategies, including nutrient uptake dynamics, fertilizer efficiency, and biofortification in vegetable production, genotype selection and vegetable grafting techniques to increase stress resilience(drought, salinity), crop yield, bioactive compounds, and sensory quality of vegetables, plant-based fertilizers, composting, and circular economy models to minimize waste and enhance nutrient cycling, innovative biostimulants for resilient crop systems, biofortification and phytohormone applications to improve nutritional value and stress adaptation in vegetables and reducing environmental impacts through strategies such as minimizing greenhouse gas emissions and promoting biological nitrogen fixation in legumes to reduce synthetic fertilizer dependency. She has published more than 120 papers in refereed international scientific journals, more than 40 in congress proceedings (Acta Hort.), 4 as book chapters and more than 200 as abstracts in national and international conferences. She is an Associate Editor of Heliyon and Scientia Horticulturae (Elsevier), member of the Editorial Board of Plant Physiology and Biochemistry, Agronomy, Plants, Frontiers in Plant Science, Frontiers in Horticulture and Plant Stress. She is member of the International Society for Horticultural Science (ISHS) and Vice-President of the Greek Society for Horticultural Science (EEEO). In the last 5 years, she has been involved as researcher in six European research projects (LEGUME FUTURES, EUROLEGUME, ECONUTRI, TRUE, TOMRES and RADIANT) one PRIMA Proposal (VEGADAPT), in several national and private research projects on vegetable crops (ΒΙΟΠΡΟΣΑΡΜΟΓΗ, BIOSPRIM, V2FARM, MICROBOOS, NUTRISENSE, PlantUp), and was MC of two COST ACTION projects (FA1204 and CA11196).
