This section provides a selection of the most relevant publications and useful resources that will be produced within the DESIRA project.
The main DESIRA reports and working documents will have a great impact for relevant stakeholders in the fields of agriculture, forestry and rural development.
Scientific publications are an effective way to disseminate high level project information and to attract the interest of representatives of the various target groups.
- ARTICLE: The Digitisation of Agriculture: a Survey of Research Activities on Smart Farming (Manlio Bacco, Paolo Barsocchi, Erina Ferro, Alberto Gotta, Massimiliano Rugger)
- PUBLICATION IN CONFERENCE PROCEEDINGS: IoT as a Digital Game Changer in Rural Areas: the DESIRA Conceptual Approach (Manlio Bacco, Gianluca Brunori, Alessio Ferrari, Panagiota Koltsida, Eleni Toli)
- ARTICLE: Digital transformation of agriculture and rural areas: a Socio-Cyber-Physical System framework to support responsibilisation (Kelly Rijswijk, Laurens Klerkx, ManlioBacco, Fabio Bartolini, Ellen Bulten, Lies Debruyne, Joost Dessein, Ivano Scotti, GianlucaBrunori)

DESIRA is a complex project, based on a participatory approach. Its core activities will be based on the work of 20 Living Labs and a Rural Digitalisation Forum, so most of the data will be collected through the activities organised. DESIRA will capitalise on already existing data and will integrate them with the new captured data.
This set of policy briefs illustrates the characteristics of the most relevant issues emerging in the scenario development exercise:
-
- Oosterwold (NL) – Towards urban agriculture in 2030
