Increasing the resilience of agriculture in water and nutrient-scarce environments through digital innovations[E8]

From the notice

Call: Call 02 - single stage (2027). Type of action: HORIZON Research and Innovation Actions. Expected Outcome: Project results are expected to contribute to all of the following expected outcomes: farmers have increased access to digital tools and advice to improve their resilience to water and nutrient scarcity; farmers are better prepared for the Green Transition and EU’s new plan for sustainable prosperity and competitiveness; biodiversity benefits from decreasing water, air and soil pollution while European dependency on mineral fertilisers is reduced. Scope: A key challenge for the agricultural sector is to provide food in a context of increasing global population, climate change and price volatility while reducing pollution and preserving natural resources and biodiversity for future generations. Farmers should be able to adopt innovative solutions to increase the resilience to water and to nutrient scarcity. Digital and data technologies offer solutions to monitor parameters (e.g. soil conditions, water and air quality, nutrients content and availability) in a cost-efficient manner while supporting decision-making on input management, adapt to climate change, contribute to cleaner air and biodiversity. Proposals should: improve knowledge on the complex interactions between plant, soil, water, air and nutrients (Nitrogen, Phosphorus) in view of climate change in the EU and its impacts on crop production, farming systems (including crop protection use) and the environment, in a representative number of different pedoclimatic regions; develop and test monitoring device…[E3]
