On 26 January 2023, the "Digital Agricultural Knowledge & Information System" (DAKIS) consortium of Agricultural Systems of the Future participated in the conference "AI Applications and Interoperability as the Future of Agriculture" at the International Green Week. In a presentation on "How digitisation can improve decision-making for site-adapted, multifunctional and diversified agriculture", Dr Cheng Chen from the Leibniz Centre for Agricultural Landscape Research (ZALF) presented the DAKIS prototype.
 

The DAKIS project uses state-of-the-art technologies to consider ecosystem services and species conservation in the planning and implementation of agricultural production. The DAKIS prototype is a decision support system designed to help farmers, agricultural advisors and policy makers identify conflicts and synergies between economic objectives and conservation effects of different agricultural measures. At the beginning of the fifth project year, a stronger cooperation with agricultural practice was initiated. Thus, the prototype is currently being further developed on the basis of concrete use cases - such as the integration of hedges and flower strips into the agricultural landscape. 

During the discussion at the conference, numerous cooperation opportunities with companies and research became clear, such as with the research project "Sustainable Agriculture with Artificial Intelligence" (NaLAmKI).
