High Tech Farming WG and S3 Agrifood Platform HTF - (Hybrid)
Opportunities, approaches and experiences with precision agriculture and smart farming in European Regions
Opportunities, approaches and experiences with precision agriculture and smart farming in European Regions
Conference Venue: SeAMK Campus (WG meeting)
Thursday, 13/06/2024, 9:30 – 12:00 Concept
The Green New Deal and Farm to Fork strategy put precision agriculture and smart farming among the main instruments for a more sustainable practice. In Europe, precision agriculture has emerged as the way to help farmers increase the quantity and quality of agricultural production while using fewer inputs. The mission of the partnership is to facilitate interregional and cross-border cooperation and projects. Thus, accelerating the uptake of Sustainable Precision Farming in European agricultural systems relies on a large amount of precise data about a given area and allows that data to be used in accordance with agronomic practices. Precision agriculture offers farmers greater control over existing processes, from crop placement to soil conditions to chemical use.
Objective: The session is aiming at exchanging info among Regions about:
· existing precision agriculture/smart farming regional initiatives;
· actual technologies/sectoral needs where precision farming practices are supported/deployed;
· existing approaches or initiatives to solve the issue of data management and interoperability;
· EU funding programs of possible interest for the promotion of interregional projects.
