Project description:

The aim of the Digital Agricultural Knowledge and Information System (DAKIS) research project approved by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) is to secure the future of agriculture under the challenges of climate change, food security, sustainability and economic efficiency. The existing and expected potential of digitalisation, including robotics, in the field of future-oriented agriculture is to be researched and the information/knowledge gained integrated into a holistic, digital information and decision-making support system (digital platform). In this way, agricultural land use in the context of multi-layered interests can be brought into greater harmonisation with ecosystem performance and biodiversity.

In this context, instruments are being developed to optimise support for agricultural planning, production and marketing processes as part of farm management. Prof Dr Ines Härtel is responsible for the important legal framework and implications of this innovative concept. Central legal points of reference are agricultural law, agri-environmental law, agricultural digital law –  de lege lata and de lege ferenda. Selected publications on tis are:

Ines Härtel: Agricultural Digital and Data Law, erscheint in: Jörg Dörr/Matthias Nachtmann (Hrsg.): Handbook Digital Farming, Digital Transformation for Sustainable Agriculture.

Ines Härtel: Agricultural Law 4.0 - Digital Revolution in Agriculture, erscheint in: Walter Frenz (Hrsg.): Handbook Industry 4.0.
