Project description

Open-source digital solutions for sustainable agriculture

The European agriculture sector must achieve sustainability to remain competitive. The EU-funded AGRARIAN project aims to establish an open and dynamic environment that enhances the sustainability performance and competitiveness of the agriculture sector. It will achieve this by developing tailored open-source digital solutions focused on tools, reuse, composability and orchestration. The project aims to provide smart connectivity, standardised management of distributed digital infrastructure, and dynamic deployment of services and applications that are time- and location-dependent. AGRARIAN will create a robust Agricultural Decision Support System tool that considers the specific needs of farmers in rural communities, enabling end users and stakeholders to maximise their benefits.

Objective

AGRARIAN will focus on the design of an open and highly dynamic environment (TRL 5-7) with respect to the tools, reuse, composability and orchestration so as to enable tailored open-source digital solutions that will enhance sustainability performance and competitiveness of the agricultural sector. AGRARIAN will leverage mature and sophisticated technologies addressing the requirements of different workloads through a new programming environment and tools for the automated refactoring of existing and/or new applications and data management frameworks enabling them to operate in edge-based deployments as well as new edge-native programming abstractions and middleware. Based on widely accepted open source technologies and adoption of container-based technologies and orchestrators, AGRARIAN platform aims to offer: Smart connectivity for secure access to any of the relevant network infrastructure options; Ability to dynamically meet latency, configuration and other requirements of each of the different network technologies; Integration of edge and cloud for a transparent infrastructure to organize and deploy software components on demand; Uniform management of distributed digital infrastructure for different edge types, cloud components and services; Dynamic deployment and provisioning of services and applications that are time- and location-dependent; Management of data to maintain data security and optimize data processing; Optimisation of operations in terms of energy consumption by enabling new tools and apps for field operations and resource use; The proposed AGRARIAN environment will enable the development of new tools and apps for the agriculture by improving operational effectiveness and efficiency through real- time data processing. A strong ADSS (Agricultural Decision Support System) tool will be developed taking into consideration all specificities of farmers in rural communities enabling end users and stakeholders and maximize their benefit.
