Transfarm 4.0

A wide range of basic technologies for precision farming are available on the market, and significant progress has been made in the development of precision farming technologies. Nevertheless, the full potential of these technologies remains untapped in Central Europe. One of the main reasons for this is the fact that technology transfer in precision agriculture (based on structural cooperation between research institutions, academia, and local governments, with specialized organizations acting as hubs or central points to facilitate knowledge and technology transfer) is still insufficient in Central Europe.

The goal of the TransFarm project is to promote the dissemination of precision agriculture in Central European countries (Italy, Austria, Hungary, Poland, Slovenia) and to generally improve innovation value chains between technology providers and users (farmers). To this end, six experimental pilot projects will be launched during the course of the project, focusing on ISOBUS applications, sensor technologies, and the use of big data to improve decision-making in agriculture.

Stronger and more sustainable networking of stakeholders in innovation systems to strengthen innovation capacity in Central European regions.
