capabilities of DIH to implement, test and prepare e-services for

mass use. The reduction of costs should be related to the connection

of services with public agricultural consultancy, which supports a

large number of farms in a given area (grouping of recipients and

services).

scope is to do minimum 80 tests - 4 e-services, 10 farms, 2 tests per

farm.
