The RECAP project will develop a digital platform for the delivery of public services and monitoring of CAP obligations targeted at Paying Agencies, agricultural consultants and farmers. The ‘Internet of Food and Farm 2020’ project will work to accelerate the adoption of ‘Internet of Things’ to strengthen the competitiveness of European farming and food chains.
