IoRT Data management and analysis for Sustainable Agriculture

Objective

GreenFieldData will train a new generation of researchers able to tackle digital and green transition challenges using a human-centric approach to ensure the robustness and relevance of the solutions responding to the specific needs of the EU market in a context of climate change and increasing socio-economic constraints. At a policy level GreenFieldData outcomes will feed in directly to the aims of the HE Strategic Plan 2025-2027, EU Partnership Agriculture of Data and Digital EU Program. GreenFieldData proposes a high-level interdisciplinary, inter-sectoral and international (triple ‘i’) research project and training network on new IoRT (Internet of Robotic Things ) based solutions for sustainable agriculture. GreenFieldData will mobilize 14 Doctoral Candidates (DCs) enrolled in Double Degree Doctorate programmes with 12 academic main beneficiaries partners, across 7 EU countries. Moreover, 21 non-academic associated partners, and 3 academic associated partners will provide support to the DCs. The partners form a high quality network, Academic partners have previous research collaborations as outlined in a common vision paper. The ambitious project will provide the DCs with a unique toolbox of cutting-edge knowledge, tools and strategies which will boost their employability and benefit the next generation operational workforce (researchers, Digital Technologies (DTs) and agricultural stakeholders). The project results will also benefit EU innovation as the human-centric IoT devices&robotics data-based solutions tailored to EU context will enable the agricultural sector to assess and mitigate the impacts of climate change, and define new sustainable low input practices, thus increasing resilience and competitiveness.
