CODECS, which stands for "maximising the CO-benefits of agricultural Digitalisation through conducive digital ECoSystems", is aimed at co-developing, together with farmers and AKIS actors, user-friendly approaches, methods, and tools in order to improve the collective capacity to understand, assess and foresee the full range of benefits and costs of farm digitalisation, and to build digital ecosystems that maximise the net benefits of digitalisation. CODECS will develop a vision of “sustainable digitalisation” which will contribute to a multi-level transition that
links social, economic, and ecological aspects together; it has a strong commitment to get an impact in the AKIS domain and in the policy field.
CODECS therefore stands ready to take the baton of rural digitalisation from DESIRA project: please see also the web site of that project (https://desira2020.agr.unipi.it/) and its Zenodo community (https://zenodo.org/communities/desira/). It is committed to capitalising on the knowledge, networks, and achievements of DESIRA, ensuring a seamless transition to the next phase of this vital journey. To this end, CODECS partners have aligned themselves with the DESIRA Declaration, reaffirming their dedication to sustainable digitalisation and collaborative engagement.
