EIP-AGRI Focus Group on Precision Farming: Final report

The EIP-AGRI Focus Group on Precision Farming has now presented its recommendations for future research topics, ideas for Operational Groups and new developments in its final report. The Focus Group brought together 19 experts, including scientists, farmers, advisers, and agribusiness to address current opportunities, limitations and transferable innovative solutions on the topic of Precision Farming. In particular, the EIP-AGRI Focus Group addressed the main question of how to organise data capture and processing to mainstream the application of Precision Farming for input and yield optimisation, while trying to identify the main reasons behind the current lack of adoption, and identifying the key barriers to the implementation of Precision Farming on European farms.
