Agriculture is a high-volume business with low operational efficiency. The EU-funded CYBELE project will generate innovation and create value in the field of agri-food in precision agriculture and precision livestock farming to increase capacity building within the industrial and research communities. The project envisages demonstrating that high-performance computing (HPC), Big Data, cloud computing, and the Internet of Things can transform farming, reduce scarcity, increase food supply, and bring social, economic and environmental benefits. CYBELE develops large-scale HPC-enabled testbeds and brings a distributed Big Data management architecture and a data management strategy that provide integrated access to large-scale data sets, a data and service-driven virtual HPC-enabled environment, and a bouquet of field-specific and generic services.
