Digital Ecosystems for sustainable digitalisation of farming

How can we ensure that digital innovation in agriculture goes beyond isolated tools to create a system that truly empowers farmers and rural communities? The digital transition in agriculture requires more than technology; it demands a digital ecosystem – a space where data, tools, and expertise seamlessly come together to drive the sustainable digitalisation of farming.Based on the findings from the CODECS report Analysis of Digital Ecosystems (2024), this event will explore how effective digital ecosystems can facilitate this digital transition, creating an environment that fosters resilience and productivity in agriculture. In the CODECS project, digital ecosystems are defined as integrated systems combining digital, socio-economic, organisational, and physical elements, all working to support digital adoption and utilisation in agriculture. We will dive into the role digital ecosystems play in structured data sharing, seamless access to digital tools, and improving resource availability for farmers and rural stakeholders.
