PATH2DEA – Paving the Way towards Digitalisation Enabling Agroecology for European Farming Systems

PATH2DEA aims to accelerate the transition to sustainable agriculture by harnessing the power of digital technologies tailored to farmers’ needs. By engaging directly with farmers, agri-food stakeholders, and six Showcase farms across diverse European regions, the project promotes the practical adoption of digital tools in agroecological farming.The main outcomes include an Open Source Repository of user-oriented digital solutions with decision support functionalities, and a Research & Innovation Roadmap to guide the digital agroecology transition.

AEDIT, together with SSSA, manages a showcase of small and low-input (or organic) olive farms. The showcased digital solution is Poderi, an app with DSSs that supports sustainable practices in olive growing—such as fertilization, irrigation, and crop protection—and in-field monitoring. The farms test Poderi to apply agroecological approaches to pest control and resource management.

PATH2DEA is co-funded by the European Union (Grant no. 101060789) and the Swiss State Secretariat for Education, Research and Innovation (SERI) (Grant no. 22.00535).
