Imagine a giant shared toolbox for farmers and scientists that covers everything from the smallest molecule to the entire landscape. It helps people figure out how to grow food without wearing out the soil or harming the planet. Think of it as a high-tech support system to make farming more resilient to weird weather and climate shifts.
Agriculture faces a crisis where 33% of soils are degraded and climate change is causing extreme weather, threatening food security for a growing population.
A catalog of integrated research services and a network of living labs that connect molecular science to field-level farming practices.
If you are a manufacturer dealing with soil degradation—which affects 33% of Earth's soils—this project developed a catalog of integrated research services that helps optimize machinery for agroecological practices.
If you are a producer dealing with extreme weather like heat waves and droughts, this project developed a network of living labs that allows you to test new resilient farming methods in real-world conditions.
If you are a developer dealing with the need for sustainable plant protection, this project developed service pipelines from molecules to ecosystems to validate the effectiveness of your products.
Based on available project data, specific pricing is not listed, but the project provides a customized and integrated offer of research infrastructure services.
The project uses living labs across Europe and a consortium of 11 research infrastructures to ensure that research is applicable to practitioners and industry.
Based on available project data, the project emphasizes that data will be open and compliant with FAIR practices, linked to the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC).
The project synthesizes research results to be used for evidence-based policy making, helping businesses align with future sustainable agriculture standards.
The project runs from September 2022 to August 2027, with the first call for services already released after the first year.
The consortium is heavily weighted toward research and academia, featuring 31 universities and 35 research organizations. With only 1% industry representation (1 company and 2 SMEs), the project is primarily a scientific infrastructure play, though it leverages 11 different research infrastructures to provide a broad range of technical services.
