OSTARA PROJECT EVENT: From Mediterranean Challenges to OSTARA Use Cases: Co-designing Digital Agroecology

OSTARA has recently started and will use four Mediterranean Use Cases to co-design and validate digital tools for agroecological transition. This workshop will introduce the farming contexts, challenges and planned activities of the Use Cases in Cyprus, Spain, France and Morocco.

The session will open a dialogue with the DCAI community on how AI, IoT, Digital Twins, open data and trustworthy digital tools can support real farming needs. Participants will be invited to contribute ideas on data requirements, modelling approaches, farmer-oriented interfaces, explainability and future collaboration opportunities.

Agenda

Date: 23rd October (afternoon)
