July 4, 2018
“Ultimately, Smart Farming Technologies are another tool, not an end in themselves, supporting farmers in the agricultural process, based upon the agronomist science principles and knowledge.”
Follwing the presentation of a selection of Recommendations in the Smart-AKIS Conference held on June 27 in Brussels, Smart-AKIS is happy to share now the full report with the Recommendations drawn by the Network after 2 and a half years of work.
Recommendations are extracted from the whole of activities and processes carried out during the project, into 3 domains:
1) Enhancing innovation-driven agricultural research within the EIP-AGRI ecosystem;
2) Future Research in Smart Farming; and
3) Mainstreaming Smart Farming.
Under this last strand, 10 general recommendations and 50 specific recommendations are made targeting policy-makers, farmer community, industry, research and advisory services.
