Multi-Country project in Agri-Food

 

The objective of this action is to support a Multi-Country Project (MCP) in the agri-food sector. The MCP in Agri-Food aims to leverage digital infrastructure, particularly data infrastructure, to enhance the efficiency, sustainability, and competitiveness of the agri-food sector across Europe. This action will foster the access, sharing, and reuse of data to support decision-making, reduce administrative burdens, and enable innovative solutions within the sector.

In line with Political Guidelines, it should support the digital transformation of the agri-food sector, making it smarter, more sustainable, and better adapted to the needs of its users, in line with the objectives to build a competitive and resilient agriculture and food system, aiming to support the sector’s sustainability and productivity. 

The action is also expected to support the reduction of administrative burden in both business-to-business (B2B) and business-to-to government (B2G) data sharing, in particular in cross-border settings; and explore the potential for simplification.

The awarded proposal will take into account existing data-sharing initiatives at European, national, and local levels. Especially, it will complement and accelerate the development and implementation of the Common European Agricultural Data Space (CEADS).

All activities under this project will require close collaboration and alignment with existing and evolving EU initiatives related to agri-food data, in particular:

• Common European Agricultural Data Space (CEADS)
• Testing and Experimentation Facilities (TEF) for AI in agri-food
• Horizon Europe Partnership Agriculture of Data
• European Digital Innovation Hubs (EDIHs) and EDICs
• EU Digital Identity Wallet/eID
