Agroforestery (AF) has already proven its potential for farm sustainability, climate change mitigation & adaptation, biodiversity preservation, and soil conservation. However, AF performances are context-dependent, and many barriers hinder its adoption, such as lack of tools for decision-making, assessing economic, environmental, social benefits, and monitoring of policies and their impact on AF. DigitAF will boost AF implementation in the EU and beyond thanks to the co-development of digital tools tailored to the needs and concerns of DigitAF target groups. To engage actors whose decisions impact AF implementation,DigitAF will: (1) Support policy-actors at various scales to design more efficient policies supporting AF adoption & carbon farming; (2) Provide tools helping practitioners (farmers…) deal with the complexity of AF systems. DigitAF will allow them to optimize the design and management of agroforestry systems at field and farm scale; (3) Enhance capacities of actors to assess, quantify and market the economic, environmental and social performance and benefits of AF. The end-user centred multi-actor approach of DigitAF will be made possible by implementing 6 living labs (LL) in Italy, Germany, Netherland, United Kingdom, Finland and the Czech Republic. Open-source tools will be co-developed thanks to the existing or novel practical knowledge, scientific evidence and models. They will be tested with the end-users from LL and improved thanks to their feedback. Larger dissemination to target groups will be ensured through DigitAF partners gathering members and networks across EU. DigitAF consortium brings together 25 partners from 20 countries from the EU, Associated Countries and beyond, composed of RTOs (9), universities (5), SMEs (6), European and international organisations (4), NGO and cooperative (1). DigitAF consortium and the LL cover all AF value chain actors, thus efficiently supporting AF implementation in the EU.

农林复合经营（AF）已经证明了其在农场可持续性、减缓和适应气候变化、生物多样性保护和土壤保护方面的潜力。然而，AF性能是依赖于上下文的，许多障碍阻碍了它的采用，例如缺乏决策工具，评估经济，环境，社会效益，以及监测政策及其对AF的影响。DigitAF将推动AF在欧盟内外的实施，这要归功于针对DigitAF目标群体的需求和关注量身定制的数字化工具的共同开发。为了让其决策影响AF实施的参与者参与进来，DigitAF将：（1）支持各种规模的政策参与者设计更有效的政策，以支持AF采用和碳农业;（2）提供工具，帮助从业者（农民......）处理AF系统的复杂性。DigitAF将使他们能够在田间和农场规模上优化农林系统的设计和管理;（3）提高参与者评估、量化和营销AF的经济、环境和社会绩效和效益的能力。DigitAF以最终用户为中心的多参与者方法将通过在意大利、德国、英国、意大利、芬兰和捷克。开放源码工具将借助现有或新的实践知识、科学证据和模型共同开发。他们将与来自LL的最终用户一起进行测试，并根据他们的反馈进行改进。将通过DigitAF合作伙伴在欧盟范围内聚集成员和网络，确保向目标群体进行更大范围的传播。DigitAF联盟汇集了来自欧盟，联系国和其他国家的20个国家的25个合作伙伴，包括RTO（9），大学（5），中小企业（6），欧洲和国际组织（4），非政府组织和合作社（1）。DigitAF联盟和LL涵盖了所有AF价值链参与者，从而有效地支持欧盟的AF实施。
