Access the PATH2DEA Open Repository: https://path2dea-repository.lifewatch.eu

The PATH2DEA Open Repository bridges real farming practice with digital innovation, helping the agroecology community find solutions that are practical, useful, and grounded in experience. It is open to everyone — explore it, learn from it, and use it to support better decisions on your farm, in your research, or in your innovation projects.

What is the PATH2DEA Open Repository?

The PATH2DEA Open Repository is an open, easy-to-use online platform that helps you explore how digital tools are being used in real farms transitioning to agroecology across Europe. It brings together:

The digital tools farmers actually use
The benefits these tools bring to farm management
The challenges and unmet needs expressed directly by farmers
Six real showcase farms, each with unique systems and climates Whether you are a farmer, advisor, researcher, or technology developer, the repository helps you understand what works, what doesn't, and where innovation is still needed.

The repository is organised into three practical sections:

1. Real Farming Examples (Showcases)

Each showcase includes insights directly gathered from farmers and advisors during dedicated workshops. This section helps you understand how digital tools fit into real production systems and which solutions may be relevant to your own context.

2. Digital Tools Explorer

The explorer makes it easy to compare tools and quickly spot solutions relevant to your needs without navigating complex technical descriptions.

3. Gap Explorer

This section highlights the practical problems farmers still face, even with digital tools.
