ICT solutions for agrobiodiversity

CAPSELLA is a Horizon 2020 project developing novel ICT solutions tailored to the needs and requirements of farmers’ communities and networks and other actors engaged in agrobiodiversity.

To do so, CAPSELLA will use a strong bottom-up participatory approach, elicited through face-to-face meetings and a dedicated online platform.

In CAPSELLA, farmers’ communities and networks will interact with agroecology, agri-food and ICT experts to test, validate and select the innovative applications and tools best suited to their needs. CAPSELLA will also collect open data about sustainable food systems which have a strong connection with agrobiodiversity by focusing on three areas: field, seed and food.

An interactive map has recently been published on the project's website, where EU networks and organisations can register to gain further visibility.

CAPSELLA has also launched a stakeholders' survey which aims to collect needs and requirements of those active in the agrobiodiversity field. The outcomes of the survey will help to identify and understand the type of information that different people have and would like to have access to, as well as the challenges of different stakeholders, which could be supported by the CAPSELLA ICT tailor-made solutions.
