AGRIDEA

AGRIDEA constitutes one out of three “Policy Influencers” which represent European farmers, advisors and machinery manufacturers in all public consultations, regarding policy making in the agrifood sector, in order to validate the policy recommendations and tools and achieve an increase in awareness among a great number of policy makers. AGRIDEA, with its vast experience in agrifood related sectors providing services, consulting, transfer of knowledge, technologies and innovation, will engage advisors in activities related to co-designing tools, capacity building and decision-making support, contributing this way to the dissemination and communication efforts of the project. Finally, AGRIDEA will leverage on its networks to promote the adoption of the QuantiFarm Toolkit and the DIA by their communities across all European countries, while establishing the DIA-powered services in Switzerland and supporting its sustainability after the project ends.
