Agroknow is closely following this activity; through the contributions of projects like the Horizon 2020 BigDataEurope of which we are a consortium member, AGINFRA evolves into a big data analytics capable e-infrastructure for agriculture to respond to the need that the European Commission identifies through networks like EURAGRI. Such a big data e-infrastructure would become then a core component of the envisaged European Open Science Cloud and serve a wide variety of stakeholders in the agri-food sector. In this context, AGINFRA is expected to play a key role in this process by facilitating the management and processing of big data in the agri-food research section and its integration in various research applications.
