Nostradamus

The Nostradamus project, a groundbreaking initiative funded by the Horizon Europe program, will revolutionize agricultural practices through the application of cutting-edge digital technologies. Aligned with the European Union's Farm to Fork Strategy and Common Agricultural Policy, this project aims to foster food security, enhance sustainability, and drive digital transformation in the agricultural sector. By integrating Earth Observation data, the Internet of Things, and geospatial analysis, Nostradamus empowers farmers with invaluable insights to optimize their operations, increase yields, and minimize environmental impact.
The German Agricultural Society (DLG) plays a pivotal role within the Nostradamus consortium, leveraging its extensive network of farmers, advisors, and industry experts to bridge the gap between technological innovation and practical application. DLG's contributions are instrumental in ensuring the project's success and its alignment with the needs of the agricultural community.
Key contributions of DLG represented by Prof. Dr. Nils Borchard and Wen-LinTsai:
Stakeholder Engagement and Multi-Actor Collaboration: DLG facilitates active engagement with a diverse range of stakeholders, including farmers, advisors, policymakers, and researchers. By organizing workshops, field visits, and consultations, DLG ensures that the project addresses real-world challenges and delivers practical solutions.
Bridging Technology and Practice: DLG works closely with technical partners to develop user-friendly digital tools and platforms. Through real-world pilot testing and feedback loops, DLG ensures that these tools are effective, scalable, and tailored to the specific needs of farmers.
Dissemination and Communication: DLG actively promotes the project's outcomes through various channels, including publications, conferences, and online platforms. By sharing knowledge and best practices, DLG contributes to the wider adoption of innovative agricultural solutions.
By leveraging its deep-rooted expertise and strong industry connections, the DLG is committed to driving the success of the Nostradamus project. Through its active involvement in stakeholder engagement, technology transfer, financial management, and dissemination activities, DLG is helping to shape the future of sustainable and efficient agriculture.
