Big Data in Bioeconomy: Results from the European DataBio Project

The European DataBio Project examined new data-driven methods to shape a bioeconomy, developing new and sustainable ways to use forest, farm, and fishery resources. The authors' 27 pilot projects from 17 countries showcase examples of how modern data-driven methods can increase sustainability in important sectors. The book provides an overview of big data technologies relevant for optimal raw material gathering, perspectives on useable applications from farming, forestry, and fishing, and a summary and view on the future.

This edited open-access book presents the comprehensive outcome of The European DataBio Project, which examined new data-driven methods to shape a bioeconomy. These methods are used to develop new and sustainable ways to use forest, farm, and fishery resources. As a European initiative, the goal is to use these new findings to support decision-makers and producers—meaning farmers, land, and forest owners, and fishermen.

With their 27 pilot projects from 17 countries, the authors examine important sectors and highlight examples where modern data-driven methods were used to increase sustainability. How can farmers, foresters, or fishermen use these insights in their daily lives? The authors answer this and other questions for our readers. The first four parts of this book give an overview of the big data technologies relevant for optimal raw material gathering. The next three parts put these technologies into perspective, by showing useable applications from farming, forestry, and fishing. The final part of this book gives a summary and a view on the future.

With its broad outlook and variety of topics, this book is an enrichment for students and scientists in bioeconomy, biodiversity, and renewable resources.
