Digitalisation is seen as a key driver for modern and sustainable agriculture. Technologies such as geo-referenced agriculture with site-specific applications, robotics and artificial intelligence are increasingly characterising the development of the sector. But how can the goals of agroecology be achieved? What framework conditions are required to promote positive effects and minimise possible negative impacts?

Aim of the workshop:
– Identification of opportunities and risks of digitalisation for agroecology
– Need for action Politics, agriculture, science, society, industry

Highlights:
– Expectations of actors, politics, stakeholders
– Pitches on the following topics, among others:

• What can digitalisation contribute to diversification in agriculture?
• Can digital technologies be the key to expanding organic farming and regionalised value chains?
• Change in the agricultural industry – reorientation towards the ‘digital Green Deal’
• Importance of innovations & start-ups for the digital transformation
