• Establishment of the EPI Operational Group ‘Vibrating-disc feed granulator’ and the development of an operational plan for the Group. As part of the preparatory support, an operational group will be set up and an operational plan drawn up, the implementation of which will resolve the problem faced by farmers, namely the high costs of feed pelletisation, through the implementation of vibrating-disc pelletisation technology.
  • Establishment of the EPI Operational Group “Scalable system for automated hydroponic microgreen cultivation” and development of an operational plan for the Group. As part of the preparatory support, an operational group will be established and an operational plan drawn up, the implementation of which will resolve the problem faced by farmers – namely, the high labour input required to maintain hydroponic crops – through the implementation of an automated cultivation system ensuring the highest standards of protection against microbiological hazards.
  • EPI Hybrid Feed Mill for Agriculture 4.0 Consortium. As part of the preparatory support, an operational group will be set up and an operational plan drawn up, the implementation of which will resolve the problem faced by farmers regarding the variable quality of local feed raw materials by introducing a mobile feed mill with rapid raw material analysis and formulation selection, with the aim of producing small batches of feed mixes for horses.
  • Establishment of the EPI ‘Pro Pasza’ Operational Group and development of an operational plan for the Group. As part of the preparatory support, an operational group will be set up and an operational plan drawn up; the implementation of this plan will help resolve the problem faced by farmers – namely, the need to reduce the use of antibiotics and chemical growth promoters – by developing a feed additive based on postbiotics.
  • Establishment of the EPI “Optimal Bedding” Operational Group and development of an operational plan for the Group. As part of the preparatory support, an operational group will be set up and an operational plan drawn up; the implementation of this plan will help resolve the problem faced by farmers regarding dust generation during the bedding of livestock housing by developing an innovative bedding machine.
  • Establishment of the EPI operational group ‘Vegetable Crop Maintenance Robot’ and development of an operational plan. As part of the preparatory support, an operational group will be formed and an operational plan drawn up; the implementation of this plan will address the problem faced by farmers regarding the high labour input required for vegetable crop maintenance, through the development of an autonomous robot.
  • Establishment of the EPI ‘Functional Shots’ operational group and development of an operational plan for the Group. As part of the preparatory support, an operational group will be set up and an operational plan drawn up; the implementation of this plan will address the problem faced by farmers – namely, the low profit margins on apple production – by developing recipes for innovative, health-promoting drinks based on apple juice.
  • Establishment of the EPI ‘Innovative Grapes’ operational group and development of an operational plan for the group. As part of the preparatory support, an operational group will be set up and an operational plan drawn up, the implementation of which will help to resolve the problem faced by farmers regarding the difficulty of protecting grape crops from frost, by developing an innovative system for cultivating noble grape varieties for the production of sparkling wines.
  • Establishment of the EPI ‘Inno miód’ operational group and development of an operational plan for the Group. As part of the preparatory support, an operational group will be set up and an operational plan drawn up, the implementation of which will help to solve the problem faced by beekeepers, namely the need to increase the added value of beekeeping products through innovative methods of shaping colour and aroma, by developing an innovative technology for the production of mead.
