Synergies

Welcome to CrackSense’s Synergies and Collaborations Corner, where we spotlight our innovative partnerships with sister projects, EU initiatives, media outlets, and other key stakeholders.

At CrackSense, we recognise that fostering collaboration across digital farming and beyond is essential for driving a revolution in agriculture.

Networking and synergies are at the heart of our mission to build an inclusive, sustainable, and thriving agricultural community.

Collaborating Projects

STELAR

STELAR is developing a novel platform for publishing and discovering metadata about datasets in the agrifood sector, as well as linking datasets with data processing workflows for Machine Learning and AI applications. Moreover, STELAR is developing state-of-the-art tools and workflows for extracting structured information from food safety reports and for fusing satellite and field sensor data to improve crop classification, yield prediction and suitability map construction.

Farmtopia

Farmtopia, a Horizon Europe project running from September 2023 to August 2026, aims to democratise digital farming, focusing on small-scale farmers. With 22 partners from 12 countries, Farmtopia addresses the limited adoption of Agricultural Digital Solutions (ADSs) despite substantial investments. These technological solutions hold potential to boost the economic and environmental performance of the agricultural sector, especially for small farms struggling to access cost-effective digital solutions that are suitable for their needs.

OpenAgri

OpenAgri is a Horizon Europe project dedicated to democratising digital farming by developing and deploying cost-effective, energy-efficient, open-source Agricultural Digital Solutions (ADSs). Designed to address challenges such as limited connectivity and resource constraints, these ADSs are accessible even on the most remote farms. By fostering participatory co-creation and ensuring transparency and interoperability, OpenAgri empowers small farmers with tools to enhance productivity, sustainability, and resilience, shaping the future of inclusive agriculture.

Sister Projects

Scaleagdata

Agriculture sensors provide data that help farmers monitor and optimize crops by adapting to environmental changes. Integrating this data with satellite-derived information could enhance regional agricultural monitoring but requires a shift in data ownership and governance models. The EU-funded ScaleAgData project aims to explore how integrated data streams should be governed for the benefit of all stakeholders, especially farmers. By scaling up this data, the project aims to reduce technological inequality in the sector. The focus will be on innovations in sensor technology, edge computing, data analytics, and novel Earth observation products.

Agridatavalue

Over-irrigation and excessive use of synthetic fertilizers and pesticides raise yield costs and contaminate groundwater. Suboptimal livestock production also increases greenhouse gas emissions. Smart farms, utilizing IoT sensors, drones, and Earth Observation data from Copernicus Hubs, can address these issues. The EU-funded AgriDataValue project aims to advance smart farming and agri-environmental monitoring, boosting competitiveness and fair income. It will introduce an innovative, intelligent, and multi-technology platform. AgriDataValue combines big data, data-spaces, agricultural knowledge, new business models, and policies in a multidimensional approach.
