Project Summary : The AgrInnovate EDIH project, in line with the Digital Europe Program, aims to achieve critical improvements in agricultural productivity while addressing global challenges such as population growth, climate change, and labor shortages. By integrating Türkiye into the AgriFood 4.0 process, the project seeks to trigger a digital and ecological transformation in the sector. Utilizing artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things (IoT), and high-performance computing, the initiative not only aims to modernize the agricultural landscape but also strengthen rural connectivity and digital integration nationwide.
At the heart of this initiative lies the development of a vibrant digital innovation ecosystem that supports market readiness, raises awareness among SMEs about digital and ecological transformation, and guides AgriTech and FoodTech SMEs toward digital maturity. This strategic orientation is critical to guiding the agricultural sector through the digital revolution, facilitating access to investment, and creating an innovation-rich environment.
Structured around six different work packages, the project represents a collaborative effort to advance the AgroFood sector through digital innovation. With a consortium of nine nationally and internationally recognized partners, AgrInnovate EDIH is uniquely positioned to provide comprehensive support to Türkiye’s growing agriculture and food industries.
This project not only addresses current sectoral challenges but also aims to make a significant contribution to Türkiye’s evolving digital agriculture ecosystem. By fostering collaborations with European Digital Innovation Hubs, AgrInnovate EDIH emphasizes the creation of effective Digital Corridors and the adoption of a comprehensive approach to digital transformation. The project seeks to lay the foundation for a digitally advanced agricultural future in Türkiye, thereby initiating a national movement toward sustainable and innovative agricultural practices and ensuring the agricultural sector is prepared for future demands.
