Digital agriculture is rapidly becoming a critical component of the sustainable development of the agriculture sector. The DESIRA (Digitisation: Economic and Social Impacts in Rural Areas) project, funded by the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme, has been working to understand the impact of digital technologies on rural areas, agriculture, and forestry. Now entering its final phase, the DESIRA project will host the DESIRA H2020 Final Conference from 26-28 April 2023 in Brussels.
