Brief description of the project:

The idea of this project is to develop digital skills and provide knowledge and awareness regarding precision technologies that can be used in the field of agriculture to make it more sustainable and of better quality. The digital skills of agricultural entrepreneurs are considered necessary to adopt methodologies in line with today's challenges. Also, in order to more easily meet the needs of the growing world population, while at the same time reducing damage to the environment.

Sustainable production would be achieved not only by managing the economy, but also by including other factors such as soil fertility, soil erosion or water use. In this context, digital agriculture has emerged as a promising model to help achieve these goals using precision technology.

Digital agriculture is a way to increase farm efficiency while improving economic and environmental sustainability by using artificial intelligence, robotics, data analysis and other digital tools and skills. The increased use of digital technologies will also have a positive effect on the quality of life in rural areas and can attract younger generations to farming and starting rural businesses.

The objectives of the project:

• Promote agricultural entrepreneurship as a sustainable farming model
• Develop precision agriculture in Europe to answer the growing need of food and promote a new model of farming towards a more sustainable one
• Empower adults with digital and entrepreneurial skills in the Agro-food industry to become actors of a sustainable future and become more competitive actors and the same time.
