Making 'big data' useful for farmers

The AgriLink project (Agricultural Knowledge: Linking farmers, advisors and Researchers to boost innovation) was an EU Horizon 2020 research and innovation program that aimed to stimulate the transition towards more sustainable agriculture by improving understanding of the roles played by agricultural advisors in farmer decision-making and the adoption of innovation on the wide variety of different farm types that exist in Europe. One of the main objectives of AgriLink was to analyse how the various existing models of governance and funding of farm advice are functioning (or not) to support the information needs of farmers and the adoption of innovations for sustainable agriculture in various national and regional contexts.
