DiP: SMART Agroforst (DiP: SMART Agroforst)

Project DiP: SMART Agroforst

The “DiP-SMART-Agroforestry” project aims to leverage the added value of agroforestry systems (AFS) at the farm and landscape levels in southern Saxony-Anhalt using digital tools. Strengthening agroforestry systems and their value chains in the region promotes sustainable and climate-resilient land management and provides an economically important basis for the production of bio-based raw materials, for example, for the chemical industry in Central Germany.

With innovative research on digitalization and the bioeconomy, with a focus on lignocellulose streams, the proposed project aims to address key problem areas for the necessary structural transformation.

Aims

  • Development of a digital woody plant and land register using innovative remote sensing methods to estimate yield potential and ecological benefits.
  • Development of a product and process database for utilization pathways for lignocellulosic raw materials.
  • Development of decision support tools for various stakeholders in AFS-based value networks (e.g., site-specific woody plant selection, capacity planning).
  • Establishment of a “SMART Agroforestry” information platform as a central coordination tool for all stakeholders in AFS-based value networks.
  • Use of digital tools and networking of stakeholders along the value chain to develop and strengthen cooperative management concepts.
