TALLHEDA
New long-term alliances for digital agriculture
About the TALLHEDA project
TALLHEDA is a HORIZON project that is aimed at establishing a new long-term alliance for digital agriculture between the Faculties of Agriculture from Novi Sad and Athens, in cooperation with the private sector that deals with digital technologies in agriculture.
