Practice abstracts

Three short videos from 2025 show, side by side, what a plain chatbot answers and what JackDaw answers once it can query real data.

What are the PoliRural+ practice abstracts, and what does batch 1 (D7.2) cover?

Short, practitioner-oriented summaries in line with EIP-AGRI guidelines. Batch 1 is three videos: innovation mapping from OpenStreetMap data, GeoAI for rural-urban linkage analysis with JackDaw, and a comparison of plain LLM answers with JackDaw's agentic tool calling. Batch 2 (D7.5) is due in month 34.

Practice abstracts: results in the EIP-AGRI format

main tellingdepth: intro2 min markdown

Practice abstracts are short, practitioner-oriented summaries of methods and results, written to the EIP-AGRI guidelines (European Innovation Partnership for Agricultural Productivity and Sustainability). Their purpose is to let a farm advisor, planner or local authority see in a few minutes whether a result is relevant to them. PoliRural+ plans two batches: D7.2 (batch 1, month 14, approved) and D7.5 (batch 2, due in month 34).

Batch 1: three videos

  1. Assessing regional innovation potential with OpenStreetMap data. Kernel density estimation over OSM features maps innovation-related assets, such as research institutions, technology hubs and digital infrastructure, across the nine pilot regions. Local hotspots and gaps become visible where aggregate statistics hide them. (https://youtu.be/Jybshpa6W4A)
  2. GeoAI for rural development decisions. JackDaw assesses a place’s weekend tourism potential from nearby urban population, amenities and driving distances, retrieving current geodata before it answers. (https://youtu.be/H7ubA7s4AYs)
  3. GeoAI meets LLMs. Three questions are put both to a plain LLM and to JackDaw’s agentic tool calling: the local weather, whether a plot suits potatoes, and which water bodies lie in an area. The plain model gives generic or wrong answers. JackDaw calls weather, land-cover and elevation tools for the selected map area. (https://youtu.be/Xu6lkjlGx5g)

Why the format matters for legacy

The abstracts are aimed at policymakers, practitioners and technical experts, including participants of the Mobilise, Develop and Enhance open calls. D7.2 plans to submit them to the EIP-AGRI platform, where planners and local authorities outside the project can find them. They take lessons from PoliRural: some advanced tools were not adopted locally because of limited know-how and low awareness of their benefits. Short demonstrations address both problems.
