Study and evaluation of the impact of the application of new sustainable practices and innovative digital tools on poultry production systems arising from growing social demands and new European trends, integrating the consumer perspective and their propensity to pay for such improvements in animal welfare, sustainability and digitalisation of the sector.

Design of a tool, a web mapping server, for monitoring cereal crops by remote sensing that allows early detection and intervention in production anomalies and optimization of the use of inputs.

Technology transfer and digitalisation of direct marketing processes for the sale of food produced by small agricultural and livestock producers in the national hotel and catering sector.

Design and implement a collaborative digital platform that allows the development of a series of activities to support the incorporation of young people into agricultural activity, improve their success rates and their economic, environmental and social sustainability.

Technology and digitalisation through different tools such as blockchain, ICT tools or Big Data, constitute efficient solutions to optimise traceability, food safety, and avoid fraud and unfair competition throughout the supply chain.

Innovation in genetic improvement ensures a more efficient selection of breeding stock, which contributes, among other things, to maintaining native and endangered breeds and revitalizing traditional and extensive livestock farming.

A key challenge facing the agricultural sector is climate change. Genetic improvement can be an effective tool to adapt crops to its effects, especially in areas with greater water scarcity. Germplasm banks also play a fundamental role in the conservation, availability and use of a wide range of plant genetic diversity.

One of the challenges of the livestock sector is its adaptation to new conditions, both social and environmental, which have an influence on the market. Consumers are increasingly aware of the problems of climate change, animal welfare and traceability, which influences their way of consuming.

Current challenges focus on promoting new, more environmentally sustainable strategies. Technicians and researchers agree on the need to increase carbon sequestration in three complementary areas: forestry systems, crops and agroforestry systems. New, more sustainable land use management tools are being developed through the Operational Groups and Innovative Projects.
