Welcome to another episode of our PATH2DEA podcast series. This time we take you on a journey to Almeria in Spain, where we talk about fruit and vegetable production, and we look at it in the context of digitalisation. Thank you for joining us or joining again.

Agroecology means working with ecosystems, and agroecology combines science with producers’ traditional knowledge. We in PATH2DEA see it as the most sustainable approach to farming.

We welcome Cynthia Giagnocavo who is a professor and researcher at the University of Almeria. She is the director of the COEXPHAL-UAL Chair on Horticulture,

PATH2DEA is a European project that is funded under the Horizon Europe program and by the Swiss State Secretariat for Education, Research and Innovation.

PATH2DEA promotes the use of digitalisation to act as an “enabler” of agroecology, as a catalyser, so that European farming systems can move towards more sustainability.

Welcome to the sixth episode of our PATH2DEA podcast series.

This time we will look at animal farming and talk about pasture based cattle farming and digital technologies available in these agroecology systems.

Innovation with the growing importance of digital solutions is considered essential for bringing forward farming and agriculture in Europe.

Welcome to another episode of our PATH2DEA podcast series. This time we talk about a very special and innovative farming system - agroforestry, and we look at it in the context of digitalization. Thank you for joining us or joining again.

Today, we visit our showcase in West-Flanders, Belgium, which is run by the INAGRO agricultural research center and that is specializing in agroforestry.

I welcome Tom Van Nieuwenhove who is a researcher at INAGRO. INAGRO is a project partner in the

General information on the project PATH2DEA:

Innovation in the growing digital domain is considered essential for bringing forward farming and agriculture in Europe. Innovation is needed to benefit the environment, economy, and society as such. At the same time, digital tools and technologies in many places are raising new concerns. In the PATH2DEA

In the PATH2DEA project, we have six showcases of European small-holder farming systems located in different European regions, to reflect the diversity of farming. There, we explore and discuss digital technologies in terms of use and application in agroecological farming.

PATH2DEA is a European project that is funded under the Horizon Europe program and by the Swiss State Secretariat for Education, Research and Innovation.

The 6 PATH2DEA showcases comprise Agroforestry supported by digital tools in Belgium, livestock farming using sensors in Hungary, smallholder olive farmers applying Decisions Support Systems in Tuscany, Italy; sensors to measure environmental parameters for sustainable wine production in Catalunya, advanced IoT vegetable production in Andalusian greenhouses and TERRENA cooperative in the Northwest

Today we visit TERRENA, with more than 20 000 farmer members and more than 13000 employees one of the
