Seville, Spain
PATH2DEA is a project co-funded by the European Union and the Swiss State Secretariat for Education, Research and Innovation (SERI). Its objective is to enhance the potential of agroecological farming systems by promoting the use of digital tools and technologies to cope with environmental, economical and health challenges.
Building on farmers’ competences, PATH2DEA matches them with the rich repertoire of already existing digital solutions for agriculture, with the objective to tailor them to users’ needs and fostering wide-range adoption of digital agroecology farming in EU and associated countries.
Started in November 2022, the project has already launched some important achievements as the Digital Agroecology Cluster, and a a Virtual Research Environment (VRE) to support knowledge sharing, collaboration, and innovation in the field of digital agroecology (read PATH2DEA’s December newsletter for more insights into these results).
Next Monday 27th of January, the consortium members will meet in Seville, Spain, for a two-day workshop organised by LifeWatch ERIC and hosted at the Facultad de Comunicación of the Universidad de Sevilla (FCom-US)
LifeWatch ERIC contributes to the project by leading the establishment and implementation of the PATH2DEA Open Repository (OR) of digital agroecology tools, where all the data generated in the project will be integrated. It also leads the co-creation of the PATH2DEA Virtual Research Environment (VRE), a secured and trusted environment for data management and exchange for R&I in agroecology and digitalisation, and the operationalisation of the Digital Agroecology Cluster. Moreover, it contributes to the mapping and integration of project assets.
The meeting, gathering more than 20 participants and additional online attendees, will be a chance to assess current progress and discuss the next steps and key goals for 2025: an important opportunity for collaboration, alignment, and planning, helping to ensure the successful continuation of the PATH2DEA project.
