Project description
Transforming agriculture through digital evolution
In agriculture and forestry, the persistent challenge lies in the slow adoption of digital solutions, hindering progress and efficiency. Outdated practices and limited data-driven approaches have left these vital sectors grappling with inefficiencies and suboptimal outcomes. With this in mind, the EU-funded 4Growth project is as a transformative force. With a mission to revolutionise these industries, 4Growth seeks to document the current state, forecast future evolution, and provide accessible insights through its Visualisation Platform. With a diverse team of 13 partners from 9 EU Member States, the project gathers ground truth data, identifies key factors for adoption, and formulates policy recommendations. This collaborative effort strives to propel agriculture and forestry into a tech-infused future, fostering sustainable growth.
Objective
4Growth aims to contribute to the uptake of digital and data-driven solutions in agriculture and forestry by (i) documenting the current state-of-play and projecting the future evolution (forecasting and foresight) of the sector, (ii) making insights available to the wider community of decision makers and value chain actors – through the 4Growth Visualisation Platform, (iii) collecting a wide range of ground truth data and identifying key factors or constraints for uptake, and (iv) producing sets of key policy recommendations and best practices to encourage/facilitate further uptake. To successfully fulfill its ambition and carry out the proposed activities, 4Growth brings together a highly-motivated team of 13 partners from 9 EU Member States, with strong proposition and extensive involvement in digital agriculture and forestry activities.
