Identifying state-of-the-art smart farming solutions to adapt to climate change and agricultural transition
This first activity will survey state-of-the-art smart farming technologies that apply to both, climate change adaptation and practicability for small-scale farmers to explore how the transformation to more sustainable and innovative smart agriculture provides new solutions in technologies and approaches as a response to climate change.
Identifying smallholder farmers learning requirements for future challenges
Knowledge required to adapt to environmental changes and transformations in agri-food systems will be collected and analysed. Multiple research tasks are carried out to get an accurate and timely picture of the smart farming technologies adapted to mountain and hill areas.
Creating partnerships in smart farming education and setting up a future education agenda
Project partners will reach out to organizations, networks and industrial partners to cluster various perspectives and identify potential partners for future educational initiatives. Particular focus is on mobile learning opportunities suitable for smallholder farmers. Additionally, the research will provide a summary report on desirable competences of innovative smallholders.
