Organised by the Horizon Europe project PATH2DEA, the event united eight EU-funded initiatives working at the intersection of digitalisation and agroecology, providing a platform for dialogue, collaboration, and knowledge exchange. The conference was open to all stakeholders, who had the chance to network with the eight cluster projects involved, which are:  PATH2DEA, REFOREST, Farmtopia, GOOD - AGrOecOlogy for weeDs, D4AgEcol, AGROSUS, Agroserv  and Agroecology Partnership.

The two-day conference gathered around 70 participants on site and 153 online attendees, representing academia, farmers, advisors, policy makers, NGOs, and media. The rich diversity of participants contributed to a dynamic and inclusive exchange.

The first day opened with a plenary session providing context on digitalisation in agroecology, followed by discussions on how technological innovation can drive transitions toward more sustainable and resilient farming systems. Participants examined persistent barriers to the adoption of digital tools, discussing emerging opportunities and policy insights generated across the Cluster's research activities.

The second day turned to hands-on digital applications, exploring tools such as sensors, drones, robotics, and software solutions that support monitoring, management, and evaluation in agroecosystems. Conversations addressed the balance between innovation, usability, costs, and environmental impacts, stressing the importance of open repositories and shared knowledge infrastructures for enabling agroecological innovation.

A further strand of discussion focused on living labs and multi-actor platforms, highlighting their role in strengthening co-creation processes. Examples from Cluster projects illustrated how farmer knowledge, advisory expertise, and scientific research can be integrated to test and refine digital tools in real-life settings.

The conference concluded with an interactive co-creation workshop, inviting participants to reflect on the legacy of the Digital Agroecology Cluster. The session gathered inputs on policy recommendations, envisioned future directions for digital technologies in agroecology, and explored how multi-actor and co-creation practices can continue to generate impact beyond the lifetime of the projects.
