DIGItal Tools to help AgroForestry meet climate, biodiversity and farming sustainability goals: linking field and cloud

农林业已经证明了其在农业可持续性、减缓和适应气候变化、保护生物多样性和保持土壤方面的潜力。然而，人工智能的绩效依赖于环境，许多障碍阻碍了人工智能的采用，例如缺乏决策工具，评估经济、环境、社会效益，监测政策及其对人工智能的影响。由于针对数字化人工智能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，数字化人工智能将促进欧盟及其他地区的人工智能实施。为了让决策影响农业自动化实施的行为者参与进来，DigitAF将：(1)支持不同规模的政策行为者设计更有效的政策，支持农业自动化的采用和碳农业；(2)提供工具帮助从业者（农民……）处理AF系统的复杂性。digitalaf将使他们能够在田间和农场规模上优化农林业系统的设计和管理；(3)提高行为体评估、量化和营销人工智能的经济、环境和社会绩效和效益的能力。数字化人工智能以终端用户为中心的多行为体方法将通过在意大利、德国、荷兰、英国、芬兰和捷克共和国实施6个活体实验室（LL）而成为可能。由于现有的或新的实践知识、科学证据和模型，开源工具将共同开发。它们将与LL的最终用户一起进行测试，并根据他们的反馈进行改进。通过数字化合作伙伴在欧盟各地聚集成员和网络，将确保向目标群体进行更大规模的传播。digitalaf联盟汇集了来自欧盟、相关国家及其他地区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涵盖所有AF价值链参与者，从而有效地支持AF在欧盟的实施。

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.
