The objective of 4Growth is to understand where, how and to what extent digital and data technologies in agriculture and forestry are being adopted. It will do so by collecting a wide range of ground truth data via distributed observatories across Europe and identifying key factors or constraints for uptake. 4Growth will showcase the uptake through the “4Growth Visualisation Platform” that will combine powerful storytelling with advanced visualisation of market data. This will contribute to a deeper knowledge of what influences market adoption, which in turn will allow 4Growth to develop robust forecasts to guide policymaking and increase further uptake.
Approach
- Observatories: One of the core elements of the 4Growth approach is the collection of “ground truth” data via distributed observatories. 4Growth will gather and analyse data via 7 observatories across Europe.
- State-of-the-art analysis: 4Growth will carry out a comprehensive state-of-the art analysis to understand the level of development and implementation of digital technologies in the agriculture and forestry sectors, primarily focusing on Europe.
- Market Forecasting and Foresight: Through an analysis of technological, economic, societal, regulatory, and nature-related indicators, the Market Monitoring and Forecasting Tool will enable decision makers to monitor digital agriculture and forestry markets as well as forecast the future uptake of various digital technologies.
- 4Growth Visualisation Platform: 4Growth will showcase the uptake through the “4Growth Visualisation Platform” that will combine powerful storytelling with advanced visualisation of market data
