TALLHEDA has devoted considerable efforts to accomplish its intended scientific, economic, societal, and industrial impacts. By involving a wide range of important stakeholders, such as academic institutions, research facilities, agricultural businesses, policymakers, and industry partners, the project has improved the understanding and practical application of digital agriculture.
Impact on Science: TALLHEDA has helped create and share new insights in precision farming and digital agriculture. The consortium actively participated in twenty-seven (27) scientific and networking events during RP1, created success stories showcasing practical applications, and produced numerous scientific publications and academic theses. These initiatives have promoted cooperation between the participating countries and institutions, laying the groundwork for the sharing of best practices and reproducible research. The establishment of the VIH has further promoted knowledge exchange by giving the professional and academic communities not only networking opportunities but also quick and convenient access to case studies, datasets, training materials, and other knowledge resources.
Economic and Industrial Impact: By demonstrating digital agriculture applications that can improve crop production efficiency and productivity through the VIH success stories, the project has opened doors for economic and industrial impact. The project has improved the connections between research outputs and industry adoption through workshops, key actor engagement events, and collaboration with sister projects. The development of qualified staff who can put innovations into practice is supported by the distribution of funding opportunities, job openings, and training programs.
Impact on Society: Through the cooperation of Widening countries (Greece and Serbia) with non-Widening countries (Belgium), TALLHEDA facilitates fair access to knowledge about digital agriculture. Students, farmers, and the general public are now more aware of digital agriculture thanks to outreach to schools, free training seminars, and distribution through social media, newsletters, videos and podcasts. These initiatives are important for promoting sustainable practices and developing the next generation of agricultural professionals with digital skills.
