Descrizione del progetto
Tecnologia agricola avanzata per la protezione delle colture
La difesa integrata, basata sulla fusione di pratiche volte a sopprimere le popolazioni di parassiti, è considerata determinante dalla politica agricola dell’UE per una produzione vegetale sostenibile e competitiva. Il progetto SMARTPROTECT, finanziato dall’UE, intende sviluppare una soluzione di difesa integrata intelligente che offrirà tecnologia agricola avanzata e analisi dei dati. SMARTPROTECT identificherà le esigenze degli agricoltori e proporrà metodologie di difesa integrata da applicare nelle pratiche quotidiane sia nei campi aperti che nelle serre. SMARTPROTECT creerà una piattaforma elettronica che raccoglierà, condividerà, gestirà e distribuirà le conoscenze sulla difesa integrata. I risultati del progetto saranno comunicati attraverso la piattaforma online in interazione con iniziative unionali, nazionali e regionali come le Reti Rurali Nazionali e l’EIP-AGRI.
Obiettivo
SMARTPROTECT is a thematic network focusing on cross regional knowledge sharing of SMART IPM solutions for farmers and advisors. The aim is to stimulate knowledge flow in the regional AKISs across the EU and connect these on the innovative potential of advanced methodologies for Integrated Pest Management (IPM) in vegetable production, integrating precision farming technologies and data analytics. Through a well-balanced consortium and an emphasis on multi-actor approach the outcome of the project and exploitation of its results will stimulate an increased adaptation of IPM methodologies, taking the specific regional needs of farmers across Europe into account. The EU-wide concern for environmental sustainability and economic competitiveness for agriculture requires the entire agriculture sector to grow under IPM conditions. This project develops a basis for a common EU approach to collecting, sharing, managing and disseminating knowledge on IPM in order to maximise the knowledge flow. Farmers from different European regions will thus dispose of the latest knowledge, best practices and practical tools for the implementation of IPM in their daily practice in crops in open field and greenhouses. The project provides an e-platform for exchange on a variety of innovative IPM techniques. We will benchmark practices in the frame of their socio-economic and regulatory context, select those with a high innovation potential and disseminate them through participatory events including cross border exchange visits. Local and regional knowledge sharing will lead to interactive cross-regional seminars for farmers and advisors, resulting in a final SMARTPROTECT innovation rally. The project’s results will be deployed through a targeted communication and wide dissemination strategy, providing an online data sharing platform and close interaction with EU and national initiatives and projects, the National Rural Networks and the EIP-AGRI.
