Cluster

(HORIZON C4: Digital, Industry and Space)

Goals

Enhance the use of ICT in agriculture and food production

Promote sustainable agri-food systems

Foster innovation in agricultural technologies

Description

The overall objective of “ICT-enabled agri-food systems” is strengthening the cooperation in research, development and innovation between EU Member and associated States to foster, verifiably and perceptibly, the use of smart digital technology to make European food systems more sustainable, resilient and secure.

With financial support of the European Commission (EC), funded research projects will contribute to introducing and exploring digital technology that enhances the sustainability of the agri-food sector to the benefit of our and future generations. Beyond co-funded calls, other joint activities in this thematic area will be implemented, thus contributing to the establishment of a fair and societally accepted bioeconomy in the EU and beyond.
