Research in big data and distributed IoT platforms in smart agriculture scenario
DEMETER is a Horizon 2020 R&D project that aims to lead the digital transformation of the European agri-food sector through the rapid adoption of
Advanced Internet of Things (IoT) technologies, data science, and smart agriculture are being integrated to ensure their long-term viability and sustainability. The project aims to create a secure and sustainable European IoT technology and business ecosystem. DEMETER will demonstrate the real-world potential of advanced, standards-based interoperability between IoT technologies by adapting and extending existing standards within a global Agricultural Information Model.
General objective
DEMETER’s overall objective is to empower farmers and cooperatives to utilize their existing platforms and machinery, thereby gaining new insights and improving their decision-making. Similarly, the goal is to facilitate farmers’ acquisition, development, and upgrading of platforms, machinery, and sensors by focusing their investments where they are most needed.
Key objectives
- MODELADO DE INFORMACIÓN
- PROPIEDAD DE LOS DATOS
- SOLUCIONES ORIENTADAS AL USUARIO
- BENCHMARKING
- MECANISMOS PARA EL INTERCAMBIO DE CONOCIMIENTOS
- IMPACTO EN EL MUNDO REAL
DEMETER pilots are used to demonstrate and evaluate how innovations and expanded capabilities benefit from interoperability mechanisms. These pilots, which are being run in 18 European countries, are also used to monitor the evolving maturity of the stakeholders involved.
The pilot projects are grouped into 5 groups: herbaceous crops, precision agriculture in herbaceous crops, fruit and vegetable production, livestock (poultry, dairy, animal welfare) and the supply chain.
The project has received funding, with identifier 857202, from the European Union’s H2020 research and innovation program.
