The "ELSA Scan: Supporting Responsible AI and IoT Development in Agriculture" training webinar introduces the ‘Evaluation of Ethical, Legal, and Social Aspects (ELSA Scan) service’, developed within agrifoodTEF. AI and data-driven technologies hold great promise for agriculture, but they also raise questions about transparency, bias, data privacy, safety, and societal impact. The ELSA Scan helps developers address these issues early in the design process through a structured evaluation based on surveys and interviews. Participants will learn how the service identifies key ELSA aspects and provides high-level recommendations that improve ethical technologies, ensure legal compliance, and increase societal acceptance. The provided materials are the slides presented during the event.
This report serves as the second annual update on the progress made in identifying and cataloging simulation and remotisation tools utilised by project partners. It introduces the concepts and tools that are evaluated and used within AgrifoodTEF. These tools are essential for creating, visualising, and manipulating virtual models of agrifood systems, as well as for enabling remote control and monitoring of agricultural processes. This report is the first annual report of the agrifoodTEF project, and it aims to showcase the outcomes of the work done on the simulation and remotisation tools during the first year of the project. The report is part of deliverable 2.4, which corresponds to task 2.3 of the project. The report intends to provide a comprehensive overview of the simulation and remotisation tools of the agrifoodTEF project, as well as to demonstrate their value and potential for enhancing the efficiency, sustainability, and resilience of the agrifood sector. This will mainly be done by collecting information and statistics from the infrastructure that will be provided by task 2.1. The report will be updated and extended in the following years, as the project progresses, and new results are obtained.
This report details the findings and methodologies related to the simulation and remotisation tools utilized within the AgrifoodTEF project. The Simulation Software section provides an overview of various tools, including their functionalities and applications, supported by case studies that illustrate their effectiveness in agricultural contexts. The Remotisation Software section similarly explores tools that facilitate remote control and monitoring of agricultural processes, detailing their integration and practical use cases.
