The project Deep Farm<\/strong>, funded by the ERASMUS from the European Union<\/strong>, is designed to enhance the skills of students and teachers in digital agriculture<\/strong>, through the use of\u2019Artificial Intelligence (AI)<\/strong>, from Big Data<\/strong> and the\u2019Internet of Things (IoT)<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

DEEP FARM is a consortium of twelve (12) academic institutions (See Table 1 below) where four (4) European universities (2 in France, 1 in Italy, and 1 in Turkey) support eight (8) universities in four (4) third countries (Madagascar, C\u00f4te d'Ivoire, Haiti, and the Dominican Republic) to address the existing skills gap. This consortium works to strengthen the knowledge and capabilities of agronomy students with new AI and Big Data tools to face the challenges of modern\/green agriculture.<\/span><\/p>\n

Pilot projects include Deep Cacao<\/strong>, in C\u00f4te d'Ivoire by the\u2019ESATIC<\/strong> and the\u2019INPHB<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

In this project, ESATIC is implementing an AI model based on neural networks to detect and prevent SWOLLEN SHOOT disease (analyzed by INPHB), one of the biggest threats to cocoa cultivation in C\u00f4te d'Ivoire. We present a table of the consortium's contributions.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Deep Farm \/ Deep Cacao project is drawing to a close with a positive overall assessment: all the major objectives have been achieved.<\/span><\/p>\n

The results - skills, digital tools, databases and a mobile application - are a lasting legacy for ESATIC, INPHB and all our partners.<\/span><\/p>\n

This project marks a decisive step in the digital transition of Ivorian agriculture, and opens up promising prospects for the future of research, innovation and sustainable agricultural development in Africa.<\/span><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
