Nostradamus, in line with the Farm to Fork strategy, the Common Agricultural Policy, and the European strategy for data, will design,develop, and evaluate a scalable and robust platform for the online and real-time harvesting of valuable information derived fromdifferent data sources for developing several agricultural applications. Based on European and four national multidimensional datasets,an automated pipeline regarding the data acquisition, storage, and pre-processing, the developed platform will handle several openand commercial satellite datasets while employing in (near) real-time several server-side algorithms for time-series analysis and valueaddedgeospatial maps. For enhancing the sustainability performance and competitiveness of the agricultural sector through a multiactorapproach, Nostradamus will develop a number of open-source-based digital applications for farmers considering both edge andcloud solutions, as well as a combination of the two, taking into account the potential of advanced Internet of Things solutions and EarthObservation data. Leveraging data from various sources that enable real-time data collection and analysis, farmers will be provided withactionable insights to optimize their operations and improve their yields, reducing agricultural inputs' utilization, which will boost EUresilience, independence, and ecological ambitions for agriculture. In addition, the systematic update of this data will strengthen themonitoring of the agricultural practices and the administrative capacities in this sector. Moreover, Nostradamus will adopt a multi-actorapproach across the entire period of the project (workshops, field visits, training activities, etc.) that will continuously engage a varietyof stakeholders, such as farmers, farm advisors, IT experts, and scientists, to reflect the knowledge, gaps, and needs of different groupsproperly and maximize the potential of deployment of the developed digital solutions and applications.
