AGRI-GIS
An Erasmus+ European Project for Digital and Sustainable Agriculture
AGRI-GIS has the next general objectives and concrete results:
AGRI-GIS training resources are structured around four core thematic areas directly linked to climate change challenges:
- Innovative Training Methodology
To design an innovative training methodology, inspired by work-based training principles, guiding agriculture technicians in the practical application of emergent GIS solutions to their own plots and farms
- Training Resources for Agriculture Technicians
To develop a set of novel training resources addressing the main agricultural challenges, including specific case studies based on real geospatial data from the regions of the project partners, representing different European scenarios and climate-related problems.
- Guide for Trainers
To produce a Guide for Trainers aimed at increasing the competences of trainers working with agriculture technicians, including guidelines for the adaptation and replication of the training programme in any EU region, based on local territorial characteristics and available geospatial data.
- Impact and Sustainability
To ensure and multiply the impact of the project during its implementation and after its completion, through dissemination actions, pilot training activities, an e-learning platform and sustainability strategies
Why AGRI-GIS?
European agriculture is facing increasing pressures due to:
- Climate change and extreme weather events
- Water scarcity and irrigation challenges
- Crop diseases, pests and soil degradation
Although large volumes of geospatial and satellite data are available at European and national level, these resources are often under-used by agriculture technicians due to lack of training and adapted methodologies.
