QuantiFarm
Assessing the impact of digital technology solutions in agriculture in real-life conditions
Project Description
Digital Agriculture Technology Solutions (DATS) can drive growth in the agricultural sector by improving sustainability, performance, and competitiveness — but only if they are designed to meet farmers’ needs. However, the lack of knowledge about the benefits and costs of these solutions still slows down their adoption. In this context, the EU-funded QuantiFarm project introduces a framework for an independent, qualitative and quantitative assessment of the multiple costs and benefits of DATS, as well as their impact on sustainability. Following a multi-actor approach, QuantiFarm implements 30 case studies across 20 European countries. All case studies are conducted on commercial farms of different sizes, characteristics, and operational conditions, spanning seven production sectors. The objective is to evaluate the impacts of DATS used on farms and integrate the results into an online tool, the QuantiFarm Toolkit, aimed at raising awareness among farmers and stakeholders and supporting their future decision-making processes.
Our Role
Within the QuantiFarm project, we lead WP2, playing a key role in the development, validation, and implementation of the assessment framework designed to analyse the impact of DATS across the three pillars of sustainability.
