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 fishery. 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.
