Overview of the Tunisian Testbed Region:

It’s a farm located northeast of Tunisia, in Dawar Al Frenin (36°34’60” N, 10°40’60” E), in the governorate of Nabeul. It was chosen for its strategic location, optimal farming conditions, and accessible infrastructure. The total area is approximately 5 hectares, equipped with drinking water and irrigated by a well. The land is divided into several plots, each measuring 300 m², primarily dedicated to arboriculture, focusing on lemon, mandarin, and other fruit trees.
