Digital agriculture, also known as precision agriculture, is the use of advanced technologies and
data analysis techniques to optimize and improve agricultural production. This includes the use of
sensors, drones, GPS mapping, satellite imagery, and other technologies to collect data on soil
moisture, nutrient levels, weather patterns, crop growth, and other factors that impact agriculture.
Digital agriculture enables farmers to make more informed decisions about how and when to plant,
irrigate, fertilize, and harvest crops. By analyzing data in real-time, farmers can identify problems
early on and take corrective action before crops are affected. This can lead to higher yields, better
crop quality, and reduced waste. Digital farming has the potential to revolutionize agriculture and
bring significant benefits for farmers and the society overall, as we need new ways to grow more
food more sustainably, but there are bottlenecks limiting in terms of time, investments and
effectiveness the take-off of the new digital technologies in agriculture. Concretely, it means
applying new technologies and innovative solutions, such as data science, advanced sensors in the
field and flying drones, digital communication channels, and on field automation starting from an
in-depth and well-developed decision system supporting right, practical and sustainable planning
and management. The mission of the EASY4DIGIT VET Erasmus+ KA220 is mainly focused on
reducing the existing gap of specific competences in digital education supporting Decision Support
Systems and tackling lack of knowledge and information dedicated to young as well as adult
farmers as final users and trainers as intermediary category. EASY4DIGIT intends to address the
challenges by developing awareness and competences of farmers towards an advanced digital
knowledge focused on smart and resilient farming. EASY4DIGIT will raise the skills capacity and
in-house functional knowledge and best practices in order to improve the overall competitiveness
of the agriculture industry and succeed in an increasingly digital, green and knowledge driven
economy.
