  1. EU policy on agriculture applications and digital technology Dr. ChoomjetKarnjanakesornDirector Office of Agricultural Affairs, Royal Thai Embassy, Brussels, Belgium

  2. EU Statistic (2016) • Member State: 28 countries • Total area: 4.4 million km2 • Population: 513 million • GDP: 15,373 billion euros

  3. European Union

  4. Constrains and Challenges in Agriculture Sector • Lower income than other sectors • Climate change: natural disaster, plant and animal diseases • Poor environment: water and soil quality • Higher standard on agriculture products • Aging society, no incentive for young generation to be farmers. • Labour shortage

  5. Common Agriculture Policy (CAP) • The Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) was created in 1962 • The CAP is a common policy for all EU Member States. • It is managed and funded at European level with the EU’s budget. • Objective of the CAP is • To support EU farmers and improve agricultural productivity • To be safeguard for EU farmers for their reasonable living • To help farmers to tackle climate change problem and to meet the sustainable management of natural resources • To maintain rural areas and landscapes across the EU • To keep the rural economy alive by promoting jobs in farming, agri-foods industries and associated sectors

  6. The CAP in practice • The CAP takes action with • Income supportthrough direct payments ensures income stability, and remunerates farmers for environmentally friendly farming and delivering public goods not normally paid for by the markets, such as taking care of the countryside • Market Measuresto deal with difficult market situations such as a sudden drop in demand due to a health scare, or a fall in prices as a result of a temporary oversupply on the market • Rural Development Measureswith national and regional programmes to address the specific needs and challenges facing rural areas

  7. EU Agriculture figure (2016) • Agriculture area: 172 million ha. • Number of farms: 10 million farms • Small farms (production value less than 8,000 €): 67% • Family farms (>50% of labours are family members): 94.7% • Number of farmers: 9,720,600 • Young farmer: (under 40y): 10.6%

  8. Eu Agriculture production (2017) • EU Agriculture production value: 432,602 m€ • Plant products: 218,918 m€ • Animal products: 176,883 m€ • Aquaculture products: 4,128 m€

  9. Declaration of cooperation on ‘A smart and sustainable digital future for European agriculture and rural areas’ • 25 European countries signed a Declaration of cooperation on ‘A smart and sustainable digital future for European agriculture and rural areas’ to support a successful digitalisation of agriculture and rural areas in Europe. • On 9 April 2019, the EU's 'Digital Day’ 24 EU countries signed the Declaration and Bulgaria signed on 19 June 2019. • It recognises the potential of digital technologies to help tackle important and urgent economic, social, climate and environmental challenges facing the EU's agri-food sector and rural areas.

  10. Luxembourg • Hungary • the Netherlands • Poland • Portugal • Romania • Slovenia • Slovakia • Finland • Sweden • the United Kingdom • Bulgaria • Austria, • Belgium • Czech Republic • Germany • Estonia • Ireland • Greece • Spain • France • Italy • Cyprus • Latvia • Lithuania

  11. Projects on advanced digital technologies for agriculture funded by the EU • Sweeper - sweet pepper harvesting robot (AI and robotics) • 4D4F - data-driven dairy decision for farmers (IoT) • IoF2020 - Internet of Food & Farm (IoT) • Data Bio - data-driven bioeconomy (Big Data) • SmartAgriHubs- fostering an agricultural innovation ecosystem • Human AI - creating AI systems that empower people and extend their intelligence (AI and robotics) • Pantheon - robots giving a helping hand to hazelnut farmers • Flourish - robots for more productive and sustainable agriculture

  12. Sweeper - sweet pepper harvesting robot (AI and robotics) SWEEPER’s main objective is to put the first generation greenhouse harvesting robots onto the market. Until now this has never been achieved and it will ensure Europe’s leading role in agricultural robotics.

  13. Aims at developing a network for dairy farmers, dairy technology suppliers, data companies, dairy advisors, veterinarians and researchers to improve the decision making on dairy farms based on data generated by sensors. 4D4F - data-driven dairy decision for farmers (IoT)

  14. Pantheon: robots giving a helping hand to hazelnut farmers The EU-funded Pantheon project is developing a robotic system that will make hazelnut farming more productive and environmentally-friendly. It involves robots that move on the ground and in the air through hazelnut orchards

  15. Flourish: robots for more productive and sustainable agriculture The Flourish project built robots for precision farming for the collection of data about the soil, crops, pests, water levels and other factors, and which makes it possible to increase a farm’s yield while minimising the use of chemicals.
