DASK island farming platform

Marketplace, agritourism, training and a knowledge base in one place, for farmers who found the existing tools too scattered to use.

What problem does DASK address on Kythera and Antikythera, and what does it combine?

Existing tools for e-commerce, training, advice and knowledge are fragmented, hard to use and not adapted to remote island farming. DASK combines a marketplace, agritourism experiences, training and a knowledge base in one farmer-friendly platform.

DASK: one digital gateway for island farmers on Kythera

main tellingexample world: greecedepth: standard2 min markdown

DASK (Digital Agricultural Skills and Knowledge) is one of the six projects funded through the PoliRural+ Develop open call, which supports place-based digital applications. It belongs to the Central Greece pilot, but its territory is specific: the farming communities of the islands of Kythera and Antikythera.

The problem it starts from

The project names a practical barrier. Tools for e-commerce, training, advisory services and knowledge support already exist, but on the islands they are fragmented, hard to use and not adapted to remote island farming or to the local actors of the agricultural knowledge and innovation system (AKIS). A farmer who has to learn four separate systems usually uses none of them.

What it combines

DASK brings four functions into one platform:

The stated design goals are a platform that is farmer-friendly, accessible and locally grounded.

Who builds it

The consortium is led by DASKALOS APPS, with the Kytherian Foundation for Culture & Development (KIPA) as the local anchor and an environmental consultancy (ENVCON). Develop projects ran a mid-term stage in spring 2026 and were due to submit final reports in July 2026. The sources available here do not yet describe final results.

DASK tests, at island scale, two things the Greek policy brief asks for: AKIS services that reach farmers digitally, and stronger links between agriculture and agritourism.
