Innovation and agri-food knowledge at the DATAGRI 2024 Forum
La Vega Innova, the Digital Innovation Centre of the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, will host the different activities of DATAGRI 2024, which for this year presents a new format that will facilitate the exchange of experiences and knowledge among the more than 800 professional attendees expected. For two days, the event will combine presentations and workshops with practical demonstrations within the Forum Day , to hear about the projects that research centres, universities and technology companies are involved in; and the Demo Day that will allow participants to experience and connect directly with current innovation in the AgriFoodTech sector, visiting the test fields surrounding La Vega Innova.
Generative artificial intelligence in the agricultural sector
One of the central themes of this edition will be the role of generative artificial intelligence in the agricultural sector. This technology is transforming the management of agricultural production, from yield prediction and crop monitoring to supply chain optimization . José Luis Miguel, President of the DATAGRI Association, highlights that " generative artificial intelligence allows for the creation of more precise predictive models, facilitating informed decision-making and improving operational efficiency and sustainability."
Institutional support for agri-food innovation
Isabel Bombal, Director General of Rural Development, Innovation and Agri-Food Training at MAPA, underlines the Ministry's constant support for the DATAGRI Forum since its first edition. She also highlights the importance of including young people, women and startups in the agenda, as well as promoting sustainable irrigation and digitalisation with a comprehensive vision of the agri-food chain.
Participation and survey
The event organisers would like to hear the opinions of attendees from previous editions and those potentially interested in the 2024 edition. To do so, they have set up a survey where professionals in the agricultural sector can express their preferences on the topics they consider most relevant.
