We work on a level vision story that can be used to further shape programs and as a source of inspiration for various organizations to see where the European lie.

Vision

Future agri-food production networks will be flexible, responsive and transparent, providing sufficient high quality and healthy products and services for everyone at a reasonable cost while preserving resources, biodiversity, climate, environment, and cultural differences.

Mission

Stimulate the development and integration of innovative robotic, AI, and Data solutions that can successfully be used in flexible, responsive and transparent
agri-food production networks.

Purpose

Following our vision and mission statement above, this document aims to provide:

• a contribution to the development of the Strategic Research and Innovation and Deployment Agenda (SRIDA) of the AI, Data and Robotics PPP;
• a broad and coherent view of the needs, applications, and key challenges for robotics for the agri-food production domain in combination with data and AI,
• a 360^o stakeholder view addressing both technology, business, and ecosystem development,
• a basis for the vision, alignment, and development of programs, projects, groups, and consortia that aim to contribute to the development and deployment of robotics, AI, and data in the agrifood production network.
